This is Tokyohive's regular Drama Prime Time Report that gives you a detailed look at the prime time ratings with a focus on the weekly dramas.

On Monday, TBS and its drama achieved the usual ratings, but Fuji TV's Monday drama 'Gokuaku Ganbo' lost more viewers again. The latter currently stands at an average rating of 10.3%, which would be the lowest ever for the network's "Getsu 9" time slot if it was the end of the season.

Tuesday was all about the soccer/football match between Japan and Cyprus. It recorded an average rating of 22.5% and peaked at 30.1%. They definitely are hyped for the upcoming world cup. The drama 'Bitter Blood' (Fuji TV) is fighting not to drop below the 10% mark again and remains somewhat stable just above it. All the 10pm dramas continued with disappointing performances.

No big changes happened on Wednesday compared to the previous week. 'Hanasaki Mai ga Damattenai' (NTV) achieved a rating of 16.0% (+0.0) again and is definitely going to come out on the top at the end of this season. Maybe we are going to see a rating higher than 20% by the end of its run.

As expected, 'BORDER' (TV Asahi) wasn't able to maintain its high rating of 16% from the previous week and dropped by 3.9% down to 12.8% again. However, that result was still higher than its current average and therefore boosted its overall result up a bit. In return, 'MOZU Season 1' (TBS) managed to climb back up into the double-digits again. As usual, a good rating was achieved by 'Saigokara Nibanme no Koi 2' (Fuji TV) as well.

You can check out more of the most recent ratings from May 26th to May 29th and an overview of the episode and average ratings of the current fall dramas below!
