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.
