On August 1, SBS’s rising sports romance series The Winning Try scored an average of 5.4% nationwide for its fourth episode—the highest to date. That marks a continued upward trend following its debut at 4.1% and second‑episode 4.4% respectively, establishing it as the top Saturday cable miniseries.
 

Meanwhile, Beyond the Bar, premiering for JTBC on August 2, launched with a steady 3.7% nationwide rating. It landed third among cable dramas that night—behind Law and the City (5.5%) but ahead of other new weekend shows.

JTBC’s previous weekend hit, Good Boy, wrapped its run with a strong final rating of 8.1% nationwide—clinching major attention for its action-driven emotional storytelling.
With Beyond the Bar, viewers expect a shift from physical drama to workplace ethics, emotional court battles, and relational chemistry between leads Lee Jin-wook and Jung Chae-yeon. While Beyond the Bar has respectable debut numbers, there's still ground to cover before matching Good Boy's peak.

  • The Winning Try shows steady momentum in viewer retention and weekend slot dominance.

  • Beyond the Bar’s debut places it among other niche legal dramas—but its future depends on emotional resonance and case-driven storytelling.

  • With a veteran team behind it and strong pre‑air buzz, the show stands a chance—though active audience growth will determine whether it becomes JTBC’s next big hit.
