SBS' series “Athena” came on top of the Monday and Tuesday prime time slot, according to surveys by two media research firms on Wednesday.

"Athena," starring actors Jung Woo-sung, Soo Ae, Cha Seung-won and E Ji-ah, deals with world of spies amid competition to secure nuclear technology among governments. 

Coming in second place was MBC's TV series “Queen of Reversals," scoring an average rating of 12.8 percent on TNmS' chart and 15.1 percent on AGB’s poll. 

“Queen of Reversals,” starring Kim Nam-joo, Jung Joon-ho and Park Si-hoo, which tells the story of the joys and struggles in the workplace, has shown signs of gaining on front-runner "Athena" since last week. 

Meanwhile, KBS' drama “Marry me, Mary,” starring Moon Geun-young, Jang Keun-suk and Kim Jae-wook, finished its run this week at No. 3, with average ratings of 5.9 percent on TNmS' survey while data from AGB revealed slightly higher ratings of 6.3 percent.

The musical drama "Dream High," featuring the star-studded cast of actor Kim Soo-hyun, 2PM members Taecyeon and Wooyoung, miss A's Suzy and T-ara member Eunjung, will go on air after "Mary" starting next week.
