3 August 8, 2022August 7, 2022 Drama viewership ratings for the week of Aug. 1-7, 2022 by DB Staff This week Poong the Joseon Psychiatrist takes the spot of Link: Eat, Love, Kill and is already doubling its ratings, while Extraordinary Attorney Woo continues to fly high (mentioning that its ratings sunk to just under […]

Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s success is much deserved, but it still baffles me which dramas take off and which don’t. I knew Adamas was going to struggle. Too many thrillers with similar themes and the same faces. Plus, Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a beast. Adamas is not airing directly against it, but even the rerun right […]

Drama viewership ratings for the week of Jul. 18-24, 2022 by DB Staff With so many dramas ending this week, ratings are all ahoo — notably, the Why Her? finale episode peaked in the double digits, stealing eyeballs from Alchemy of Souls. Eve also saw a jump for its finale episode. But of course the […]

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is taking the world by storm and I’m cheering along every new stratospheric milestone. It’s always satisfying to see a great drama actually get the ratings it deserves. An actual under-appreciated gem that did not get its due attention would be Link. I mourn the fact that this clearly isn’t appealing to […]

Our weekender IT’S BEAUTIFUL NOW is doing OK – which makes sense now that real conflicts and problems have really come out. It is still far less makjang than its predecessor (which had higher ratings) but I am enjoying it far more precisely because it is not employing plot tricks like amnesia. As for WOORI- […]

4 June 20, 2022June 20, 2022 Drama viewership ratings for the week of Jun. 13-19, 2022 by DB Staff With the schedule cleared up after last week’s finales, Alchemy of Souls starts out strong, and all the other weekend shows try to figure out how to react. As for our weekday slots, Red Heart climbs […]

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 […]

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

While Green Mother’s Club and My Liberation Notes finished on personal high notes, Again My Life first […]
