The MBC historical drama “The Horse Doctor” has been the most-watched show in the Monday and Tuesday primetime lineup for the last 16 weeks.

The Cho Seung-woo and Lee Yo-won starrer was crowned with an average rating of 20.5 percent during the week of January 28 and 29, TNmS [Total National Multimedia Statistics] showed Wednesday.

In this week’s episodes, Baek Gwang-hyun, one-time veterinarian, successfully treated a patient the royal physician had failed to treat.

Sitting at No. 2 was the KBS drama “School 2013,” which closed its curtains on January 28 with 16.0 percent of the total viewers.

The teenage drama, starring Jang Nara, Choi Daniel and Lee Jong-suk, has made its successful exit with great applause thanks to its delicate portrayal of contemporary school lives and problems.

KBS will fill up the hole in the Monday and Tuesday primetime slot with “AD Genius Lee Tae Baek,” starring actor Jin Goo, Park Ha-seon and Jo Hyun-jae.

The upcoming drama centers around a high school graduate, Lee Tae-baek, who becomes one of the most brilliant ad executives in Korea.

Meanwhile, the SBS drama “Queen of Ambition,” starring actor Kwone Sang-woo, Soo-ae and TVXQ!’s U-Know Yunho, landed in the last position after pulling in 11.2 percent.

Nielsen Korea showed the same order of the three dramas but slightly different figures from TNmS’ during the last week of January.

While “The Horse Doctor” dominated the chart with 19.7 percent, “School 2013” and “Queen of Ambition” followed next with 15 and 11.2 percent, respectively.
