Drama viewership ratings for the week of Apr. 4-10, 2022
BUSINESS PROPOSAL ended with high numbers but actually slightly down from the penultimate week- the final episodes were in fact les funny and flatter- and had departed from the spirit of the webtoon and even its core concepts to some extent, a lesson that I hope was not lost on K-drama executives. I do think […]

BUSINESS PROPOSAL received 11.6%- both days. I do not remember a rom-com doing even close to that in recent years. I do hope that the writers and executives in Lorea take full note. Remove the corruption stories, political and corporate intrigue and all of the other unnecessary garbage usually thrown in to a K-drama rom-com […]

I love Business Proposal, but of course it’s a mixture of fantasy and reality and you have to be willing to suspend disbelief. But there is depth in the development of the relationships and I continue to appreciate what I consider a very nuanced performance from the ML, who, hitherto, I had considered a spectacularly […]

Is Forecasting Love and Weather saving JTBC, or do people have nothing to watch with the Olympics preempting everything? Next Saturday is going to be a bloodbath between Tracer and Through the Darkness returning and Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) 3 premiering. Source

Yay for Twenty Five Twenty One! I loved the first two episodes. I wasn’t as fond of Forecasting Love and Weather, but I like PMY so I’m glad it’s doing well. I thought for sure it was doomed given jtbc’s ratings woes. Glad Ghost Doctor is hanging in there too even though it’s had to […]

Only one episode of YOUNG LADY AND GENTLEMAN this week and a lot of shows pre-empted completely by the Olympics and before that the Lunar New Year. We have certainly been watching a lot of Olympics in our home, so I understand this. It is probably sound programing to simply park ongoing shows to one […]

Our Beloved Summer ended with highest rating and it was one of the Kdramas with the highest-rated final episode! Wow, good and great job, and congrats to our OBS cast and crew! Like One Beloved Summer, Ghost Doctor delivered its highest rating ever! I think Kdramas on three non-cable channels KBS (both KBS1 and KBS2), […]

Amen. What really made me angry is that this could not have been an ignorant mistake. From the description of the incident this appeared to be similar to something that happened before in a US film. Accidents happen but this was simply reckless and stupid. What made me angrier was that has been a very […]

If at times UNCLE seems a bit different than the usual K-drama one should remember that it is a re-make of a British show. It is good and the ratings show it. The high ratings for THE KING OF TEARS, LEE BANG WON make total sense- this is a great show. I have written about […]
