The hit drama known for its realistic romance has officially wrapped on a high note.
Led by the much-anticipated chemistry between Han Ji-min and Park Sung-hoon, JTBC's weekend drama The Practical Guide to Love (hereafter "The Practical Guide to Love") aired its finale on the 5th. According to Nielsen Korea, the last episode scored 5.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 5.0% nationwide.
The story followed Lee Ui-young (played by Han Ji-min) and Song Tae-seop (played by Park Sung-hoon), who first met on a blind date. In the finale, their relationship—built on the premise of marriage—weathered multiple hurdles and ultimately blossomed into a rosy, happy ending.
After the broadcast, viewers reacted, saying, "I loved how pure it was," "Han Ji-min was the embodiment of lovability," and "It's a shame we can't watch it anymore," among other comments.
Based on the Naver webtoon of the same name, 'The Practical Guide to Love' resonated with audiences by portraying a grounded, modern woman's love story. The ratings, which began at 3.1%, climbed steadily and peaked with the finale, allowing the series to bow out gracefully.
