Last week was a bad one for 9 dramas which went below the 10% line and/or scored its lowest figure to date. Looks like the Olympics did quite a lot of damage to their ratings and the after-effect may linger on for a little longer. If the live broadcast of any of the important games happens to clash with any of the dramas, it will probably make the ratings sink even lower.

In terms of the average rating ranking, this is how it looks now:

1) GTO 13.22%
2) Iryu Sousa 12.87%
3) Rich Man, Poor Woman 12.28%
4) Kyoto Chiken no Onna 11.77%
5) Keishichou Sousa Ikka 9 Kakari 11.74%
6) Ghost Mama Sousasen 11.68%
7) Tokkan 11.45%
8) Summer Rescue 10.80%
9) Beautiful Rain 10.73%
10) Kuro no Onna Kyoushi 10.70%
11) Iki mo dekinai natsu 10.65%
