On July 12th 2016, Nielsen Korea (a ratings research company) disclosed that the July 11th episode of SBS's "Doctors" recorded a 18.8% ratings nationwide. The previous episode which was aired on July 5th received 19.7% which meant that there was a 0.9% decrease. Undeterred by the decrease, the drama still remains as the most watched Monday and Tuesday K-drama and has remained first place since its pilot episode on June 20th.
The July 11th episode (which was episode 7) showed sweet and loving scenes between the leading characters (Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye). Additionally, the episode ended with a cliffhanger in regards to Actor Ji Soo's character. Because of the cliffhanger, the next episode of the drama was highly anticipated.
