On June 3rd, the TV ratings of "Yi San" were 28.9% and the ratings of the SBS drama "Tokyo Sun Shower" were recorded at 4.2%.

The production filling the "Powerful Opponents" spot will be the martial arts period drama, "Chil-woo, the Mighty", starring Eric Moon and Koo Hye-seon. Its first broadcast will be on June 9th.
