The TV drama "Every Night", starring Kim Seon-ah and Lee Dong-geon, took over the time slot of the MBC hit production "Lee San" with safe 10% ratings.

According to the ratings research company TNS Media Korea, "Every Night" recorded national ratings of 11.6% for its first episode, which aired on the 23rd.

The ratings were lower than the 14% reached by "Yi San" for its first broadcast last September. However, "Every Night" is up against tough competition.

The same primetime slot is occupied by the SBS TV drama "Gourmet", (16.4%) starring Kim Rae-won, and the KBS 2TV production starring Eric, "Chil-woo, the Mighty" (10.5%). "Every Night" was also at a disadvantage due to a one-week delay of the first episode.

Another ratings research company, AGB Nielson Media Research, found that the TV ratings for "Every Night" were only 10.9% nationwide, while "Gourmet" came in at 15.2% and "Chil-woo, the Mighty" reached 11.1%.
