SBS' TV series "The Warrior Baek Dong-soo" came to an end this week, finishing its three-month run atop the Monday and Tuesday primetime lineup.

Research firm TNS Media Korea and AGB Nielsen Media Research revealed on Wednesday that "Baek Dong-soo," starring Ji Chang-wook and Yoo Seung-ho, brought in viewership ratings of 17.8 and 17.9 percent, respectively, during its final episode on October 10.

The finale showed the death of Yeo-woo (Yoo) after he throws himself on Baek Dong-soo's (Ji) sword during their last fight.

New series "Thousand Days Promise," starring Kim Rae-won and Soo-ae, will take over the Monday and Tuesday spot starting next week.

In the meantime, MBC's historical saga "Gyebaek" saw a slight rise on both TV charts with viewership ratings in the ten to 12 percent range.

KBS' action series "Poseidon" also saw its ratings increase this week, recording scores in the eight to nine percentile.
