On its third day, Taiwanese romantic comedy Love or Bread continues to push Korean series rerun My Name is Kim Sam Soon to shame, although the gap is narrowed down to only 0.1%, based on Mega Manila ratings by AGB Nielsen Media Research.

According to TNS Media Research Philippines, Love or Bread debuted on Monday with 16.5% in the national ratings and 13.8%  in Mega Manila, better than 9.0% that Kim Sam Soon garnered both in Mega Manila and nationwide ratings.

Love or Bread replaced Hot Shot featuring Asian superstars Wu Chun, Jerry Yan and Show Luo. It stars Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin, the same Taiwanese loveteam who led the cast of It Started with a Kiss (2005) and They Kiss Again (2007).

Here are the Wednesday ratings:
