With its finale just two episodes away, tvN’s Monday–Tuesday drama 'Spring Fever' is closing out its run on a high note, posting meaningful gains across both television ratings and digital buzz. As the series enters its final stretch, key viewership indicators continue to trend upward with each new episode.
Episode 10, which aired on February 3 at 8:50 PM, recorded an average nationwide rating of 5.5% and a peak of 6.4% on paid platforms combining cable, IPTV, and satellite, marking the drama’s highest household rating to date (Nielsen Korea, paid platforms). Now in its fourth week on air, 'Spring Fever' has surpassed a cumulative 410 million views across platforms. Among the short-form clips released during its broadcast period, at least one has exceeded 10 million views.
The drama is also ranking among the highest in cumulative views for tvN Monday–Tuesday series aired since last year. Notably, it is the first tvN drama since the network’s all-time ratings leader 'Queen of Tears' to produce a short-form video that crossed the 10 million view mark while still on air.
Within the story, the relationship between Sun Jae Gyu (played by Ahn Bo Hyun) and Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joo Bin) has grown increasingly intimate, driving the emotional core of the narrative. Yoon Bom, who once chose to distance herself from others, slowly begins to lower her emotional barriers after meeting Sun Jae Gyu.
As the two characters share their respective wounds and spend time together away from the gaze of the village, their bond deepens, heightening both immersion and romantic tension. These quiet, shared moments have become a key source of the drama’s appeal.
The on-screen chemistry between Ahn Bo Hyun and Lee Joo Bin has also played a major role in fueling audience response. Their contrasting physiques and nuanced emotional performances lend credibility to the couple’s storyline, earning them the affectionate nickname “Ggyu Bom Couple” among online viewers.
'Spring Fever' is a Korean romantic comedy that premiered on tvN on January 5. Based on a popular web novel, the series stars Lee Joo Bin and Ahn Bo Hyun and airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. The drama consists of 12 episodes in total.
The story follows Yoon Bom, who leaves Seoul after being emotionally scarred and relocates to a quiet rural village, where she begins working as a teacher at a small high school. Initially withdrawn and guarded, she gradually opens her heart after forming a connection with Sun Jae Gyu, a local resident. Their slowly intertwining emotions and evolving romance form the heart of the series.
The drama is written by Kim Ah Jung and directed by Park Won Gook. The original web novel was penned by author Baek Min Ah, with the television adaptation reshaping the emotional arcs and character dynamics into a romantic comedy format.
Supporting characters, including Jae Gyu’s nephew Sun Han Gyeol, elite lawyer Choi Yi Jun, and figures surrounding the school, add further texture and color to the narrative. At its core, the series portrays a healing romance in which emotionally frozen characters rediscover warmth and personal growth through one another.
With its soft, spring-like emotional tone and vivid, heart-fluttering moments, Spring Fever has continued to capture viewers' attention. The title itself is often interpreted as a metaphor contrasting seasonal imagery with the characters’ internal emotional changes.
Riding a steady rise in ratings, 'Spring Fever' is set to air Episode 11 on February 9 at 8:50 p.m.
