I’m not at all surprised by “Knight Flower’s” high ratings. It’s fun and funny but also, it includes the type of social critique that I’ve noticed domestic viewers tend to like–that of a past that seems far away so one can shake their heads at the hypocrisy and cruelty while feeling that modern society is […]
Drama viewership ratings for the week of January 1-7, 2024
The ratings for LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE are finally climbing. Sunday’s 19% mark is the highest it has received since the show began. This is still not that high for a weekender, but it is getting there. Credit the fact that the plots are actually moving forward, and we the audience are actually looking forward […]

I’m happy for The Matchmakers!!! They won a lot of awards at the KBS Drama Award ceremony. I’m disapointed that the channels don’t give awards for the production like the writer, PD, etc. and only to the actors. They deserve to be praised for their hard work too! Source

Ahh My Demon – will we ever see a 5%+? 😭 Though it’s so steady (understatement probably) on Netflix – jumped to #2 in the Global Top 10 List for last week (11th-17th Dec), meaning it’s spent its fourth consecutive week in the charts. Also was in Top 10 for 50 countries in that same […]

I am surprised that Park’s marriage contract is doing as well as it is. I like the drama, but I don’t think it is worthy of 8%, especially compared to My Demon, which is airing at the same time. I don’t know how to explain what’s not working for me with Park’s marriage, because I […]

Given its dramatic limitations THE GORYEO-KHITAN WAR is probably doing about as well as could be expected. Good for PARKS MARRIAGE CONTRACT- the numbers are well deserved. I know that THE MATCHMAKERS are not in the best time slot, but these numbers are absurdly low for such a good show. I would have expected higher […]

Because it is a daeha saeguk, think the epic and well-researched saeguk that highlight the wars and struggles of King Hyeonjong (yes, he is in the history book of Goryeo Dynasty) in keeping Goryeo free from being invade by the Khitans. The drama basically captures how he grow as a naive boy to a great […]

Not too bad a start for My Demon, though the dip for ep 2 💔 I figured anything with KYJ would pull ratings (from memory Red Sky did quite well despite the plot lol) but apparently not a given? Though, it’s been holding number 4 in Netflix’s Top 10 which rarely charts K-dramas I feel […]

LYOL is confused , I think in what it wants to be. The chaebol family is Makjang City and not a particularly good makjang , if I want fantastic makjang, PMR is available. Anyways, back to LYOL, Hyo-shim is a sweetheart who is a doormat for her dreadful family that inflict wound after wound on […]

Drama viewership ratings for the week of Oct. 30 – Nov. 5, 2023 by DB Staff The Matchmakers has a nice premiere for KBS, but next week will give us a better sense of what size audience it will claim — and we can say the same for Moon in the Day, which didn’t do […]
