Data Methodology & Verification
Accuracy and transparency are the foundational principles of our archive:
- Official Source Anchoring: All viewership statistics published on this site are sourced directly from verified daily and weekly television household ratings records in South Korea.
- Clear Data Scope: We document exact tracking start dates, broadcast windows, and coverage parameters. If archival records for a series begin mid-broadcast (e.g., from Episode 7 onward), we explicitly note the tracked window rather than extrapolating or estimating missing figures.
- Strict Distinction of Network Tiers: We differentiate between terrestrial free-to-air broadcasters (KBS, SBS, MBC) and pay-TV / cable networks (tvN, JTBC, ENA), explaining how baseline market share and ratings metrics differ across transmission tiers.
- No Speculative Fabrication: We do not create speculative viewer counts, unverified social media metrics, or fabricated review scores. All numbers reflect recorded linear broadcast data.
