New SBS TV series "The President" became the most-watched drama in the primetime slot of Wednesday and Thursday nights.


According to figures released by TNmS (Total National Multimedia Statistics) on Friday, the viewership ratings for "President," which premiered this week, saw ratings of 17.4 percent on October 6 and a 3.8 percent hike the following night.


Data released by AGB Nielsen Media Research reported that the new drama, starring Korean actors Ko Hyun-jung and Kwon Sang-woo, posted viewership ratings of 18 percent on Wednesday night and 21.5 percent on Thursday.


"The President" is about Seo Hae-rim (played by Ko) who enters the world of politics from a proposal by Kang Tae-san (played by Cha In-pyo). Seo sets her sights on the position of president with the help of her long-time friend Ha Doya (played by Kwon).


Meanwhile, both TV charts reported that “Fugitive: Plan B” came in second place with scores in the 15 to 16 percent mark on Wednesday and Thursday nights, a decrease compared to the previous week.


Following behind at No. 3 was MBC's "Naughty Kiss," starring Kim Hyun-joong and Jung So-min, with ratings in the seven percent mark.


Lady Jan: I love watching Ko Hyun-jung's drama and  was really impressed with her acting as Misil in her previous drama "Queen Seon Deok" and am looking forward to seeing her acting as the first female president of Korea in this new political drama. Those interested can watch the drama online at (http://www.dramacrazy.net/korean-drama/dae-mul/) once the English subtitled video is available. Will post more information and pictures of the drama next week after i have watched the first 2 episodes :>
