1. How does one not have high expectations from such a powerhouse duo? I usually try to at least have a bit of healthy skepticism regarding actors becoming directors. Because I feel like it could often be more of an ego-trip than a true exercise in artistic vision, but given that stellar cast and the […]

Drama viewership ratings for the week of Jun. 6-12, 2022
Our Blues truly deserved its high ratings. I could watch another 20 episodes of stories set on Jeju Island. I’m glad to see Red Heart’s ratings rise a bit this week. I hope they continue to rise for the final four episodes. The drama deserves much higher ratings. It seems all SBS needs to do […]
Drama viewership ratings for the week of May 30-Jun. 5, 2022
Personally, I don’t find Our Blues dreary. It’s really well done and very Korean, I would say. There have been a few exceptions, such as Business Proposal and HomeCha, but overall, rom-coms haven’t done that well for quite some time. Koreans seem to be more into makjang, slice-of-life and thrillers/dramas dealing with corruption. Source

Drama viewership ratings for the week of May 9-15, 2022
I’m happy to see ratings for My Liberation Notes rising. It deserves every bit of the growing buzz. I’m disappointed that Bloody Heart isn’t doing very well. The show is beautifully crafted and masterfully acted. I wish more people were watching. I’m also sad about Love All Play. I knew from the get-go that it […]
Drama viewership ratings for the week of May 2-8, 2022
I’m happy Our Blues hit double digits. It’s Beautiful Now’s ratings are still on the low side for a weekender. It really hasn’t grabbed me, but I like that the main family is nice. It’s a nice break from the dysfunctional, loud families that made up the last couple weekenders. Koreans like makjang though. I […]
