The ENA drama The Scarecrow is quickly emerging as a breakout hit, drawing attention for both its rising ratings and strong word-of-mouth. Just four episodes into its run, the series has already surpassed the early performance of Extraordinary Attorney Woo – a notable benchmark in recent K-drama history.
Starting at 2.9% in its premiere, The Scarecrow has shown a consistent upward trajectory, reaching 5.2% by episode 4, with peak viewership climbing even higher. The drama has dominated its time slot since its second episode, reflecting a growing audience base and increasing engagement.

Much of the drama’s success can be attributed to its gripping narrative and powerful performances. Led by Park Hae Soo and Lee Hee Joon, the series continues to intensify with each episode.
Recent developments including a shocking death, unexpected alliances, and a string of new clues have deepened the suspense. The evolving relationship between the main characters adds emotional weight, making the story even more compelling.
Viewer reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many noting that the drama becomes more addictive over time. As the plot thickens, audiences are increasingly drawn into its dark, layered storytelling, fueling a surge in binge-watching demand.

To capitalize on this momentum, ENA has scheduled a special marathon broadcast of episodes 1 through 4, allowing new viewers to catch up ahead of the next chapter in the investigation.
With its fast-rising ratings and expanding fanbase, The Scarecrow is positioning itself as one of the most talked-about Korean dramas of the year. If its current pace continues, it may not only surpass early records but also set a new standard for ENA’s future hits.
