Ji Sung's Defendant tops the Mon-Tue drama ratings.

SBS drama Defendant starring Ji Sung, Eom Ki Joon, Oh Chang Suk and Kwon Yuri is taking over the high ratings for Mon-Tue prime time drama slot.


On 15th Feb, the drama episode recorded 22.3% and so far the highest record ratings was noted at 25.2%. At the same time MBC drama The Rebel: Hong Gil Dong recorded 10.6% and KBS' Hwarang recorded 7.7%.


Last month when Defendant was first broadcast, immediately it recorded two digit ratings which means it's a liking for TV viewers. Previously drama Romantic Doctor Kim has recorded 27.6% in viewers ratings and it seems that Defendant is hitting the top list as well.


Ji Sung's previous drama Entertainer didn't seem to fare that well but his previous works such as Heal Me, Kill Me was a big hit with 7 personalities that won him the Dae-Sang award. In Defendant, Ji Sung plays a prosecutor who wakes up one day realizing he was framed for murder on his wife and daughter. Without knowing the reason, he has to go all out to find why he didn't remember anything. Eom Ki Joon plays the main villain who killed his better twin brother and assumes his identity.


I am a bit sceptical about Girls' Generation Yuri's role in this drama. She plays the public defendant. I am not too convinced with her role and acting skills as it is the two male leads who are carrying the drama ratings.
