Between Steps set a new ratings high with its second-to-last episode. Episode 11 of the ENA romance starring Kim So-hyun and Choo Young-woo aired on Monday, November 9, and drew an average 2.883% of pay-TV households nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea, up from 2.821% for episode 10. The 12th and final episode airs on Tuesday, November 10, at 10 p.m. KST (13:00 UTC, 8 a.m. ET).
The drama opened at 1.762% on October 5 and has set a new nationwide high with each of its last four episodes. The Seoul metropolitan figure moved differently: it peaked at 2.747% with episode 10 and slipped to 2.675% for episode 11. ENA is a cable channel, and cable dramas usually play to smaller audiences than those on KBS, MBC or SBS.
It is also the last drama directed by Ahn Pan-seok, who died on August 12, 2026, before the premiere; filming had wrapped on February 28. Min Hyo-jung wrote the script, her first TV drama in about 20 years, and she and Ahn had worked together before on MBC's Say It with Your Eyes (2000–2001).
