I'm so happy for Business Proposal hitting 10.1%! Everybody needs a rom-com like this at the moment.

Thirty Nine had 17% drop because people just forgot about it after a week hiatus. The bounce back must because of the star talent not the story.

K-drama writers, PDs and executives please take note: BUSINESS PROPOSAL just hit double digits. When you do not insist upon introducing unneeded corporate politics and political corruption elements into a comedy you get a bigger audience, not a smaller one. I am sure that there must be other webtoons and manwhas out there which are also true comedies just like this one. Want a hit? Go find them.

Sincerely enjoy how these ratings posts spiral off into drama discussions. I think we can all agree that Kdramas are changing and arguably for the better.
I am a relative newbie (only 4 years of addiction) but have experienced enough draggy angst/corporate shenanigans/political intrigue in 16 ep dramas to last a lifetime.
As long as Korean dramas do not lose the essential element of human compassion, which even occurred in the much vaunted Squid Game, I will be along for the ride.

I think it's been interesting to watch the evolution of the private broadcasting channels. I remember when Signal hit the double digits, it was like a massively big deal. And then for a while it seemed like private channel dramas were the preferred drama. And now it feels like they just compete regularly on equal footing. With big streaming services thrown into the mix, who knows how things will change in the next few years? (PLease, just don't kill the public broadcasting business for dramas)
