According to Nielsen Korea, the episode pulled in a 10.9% rating in the Seoul area and 10.7% nationwide, with a peak of 13.3% at its most-watched moment. Even better, it topped the charts for its time slot and grabbed a solid 3.9% in the 20-49 age group — proof that the show is a hit with younger audiences too. What’s even cooler? Fridays usually have lower ratings than Saturdays for the show, but this episode bucked the trend and delivered its best Friday numbers yet.

We all know that Eun-ho does acts of service but I think he likes receiving words of affirmation because every time Ji-yun says “Good job” or “You did well” he looks like nobody has ever told him that before 🥲#LoveScout #LoveScoutEp5 pic.twitter.com/kmBi74rgt9

Love Scout tells the story of Kang Ji Yoon, a super-driven CEO of the headhunting company Peoplez. She’s got her professional life down to a science, but juggling work and personal life isn’t exactly her strong suit. Enter Yoo Eun Ho, a talented secretary and single dad who somehow manages to balance everything with ease. As Ji Yoon gets to know Eun Ho, sparks fly, and the drama dives into themes of love, ambition, and finding harmony in life.
