MBC historical series ¡°The Duo¡± has risen as the new champion on the Mondays and Tuesday¡¯s primetime slot, according to the findings by the two media research companies on Wednesday.

Data by Total National Multimedia Research (TNmS) showed that ¡°The Duo,¡± starring Chun Chung-myung, Lee Sang-yun and Han Ji-hye, scored an average viewership rating of 14.2 percent and on AGB Nielsen Media Research¡¯s (AGB) survey, 17.6 percent.

This week¡¯s story made a time leap of 10 years to show how the teenagers settled as adults -- Dong-nyeo (played by Han) became the mistress of a private army to protect merchants, Chun-dung (Chun) a leader of the pack that assists Dong-nyeo, Gwi-dong (Lee) a government official who investigates crime and Dal (Seo Hyun-jin) a skillful shoe-maker.

Coming in second place was SBS drama ¡°Midas¡± starring Jang Hyuk, Kim Hee-ae and Lee Min-jung which posted an average viewership rating of 11 percent on TNmS' chart and 12.4 percent on AGB¡¯s poll, showing about two percent improvements from last week.

The latest episodes showed intensified conflict between the siblings of the conglomerate Yoo family after illegitimate daughter Yoo In-hye (Kim) is named the ad hoc heir to the family fortune with the help of the family's lawyer Do-hyun (Jang).

Meanwhile, new KBS drama ¡°Detectives in Trouble¡± which kicked off this week came in last, reporting an average viewership rating of 6.5 percent on TNmS' survey and 7.95 percent on AGB¡¯s chart.

Starring Song Il-gook, Lee Jong-hyuk and Song Ji-hyo, the first two episodes showed the confrontation between detective Park Sae-hyuk (Song) and crime suspect Lee Dong-suk (Lee Min-woo).
