By William Schwartz | Published on
KBS recently released the final preview for the 93rd episode of "Once Again", a popular weekend drama that's been airing on the network. With only eight episodes to go, "Once Again" is looking to end on a high note. Its 92nd episode featured a series-high rating of 36.5%, and the drama could easily exceed 40% ratings in its final weeks.

"Once Again" has also done well in less traditional metrics. "Once Again" is also the best performing drama on the OTT platform wavve, having held the top spot for the last three weeks. The absence of exceptionally popular prestige drama has allowed "Once Again" to do very well for itself in spite of being an early weekend family drama, a genre which tends to skew toward more casual drama viewers.
"Once Again" has also held second place for the eighteenth straight week in the Good Data Report, having maintained this position behind "The King: Eternal Monarch", "It's Okay to Not Be Okay", and "Secret Forest 2". Genrewise "Once Again" differs greatly from all these dramas, being much more traditional in structure. The 93rd episode will chiefly be concerned with the efforts of the character played by Lee Sang-yi to get permission to marry the character played by Lee Cho-hee.
