Started watching Military Prosecutor this weekend and I am really enjoying it so far, happy to see its a ratings hit.

It's a little different to every other drama that's out right now which works in it's favor as counter programming

A Business proposal is the type of show that seems destined to have a long shelf life, it will blow up on streaming and from fans who want to re-watch it later as well, it's traditional viewership numbers are good too

Crazy love is one drama that could have benefitted from flashbacks by condensing the first three episodes because Ep 5 & 6 showed the emotional weight underneath the wacky pretend-relationship-to-get-revenge plot.

Although both the leads are doing a good job, I am not surprised with the ratings because the rest of the cast is meh, especially the group of three ex secretaries and the cleaning ahjumma.

YOUNMG LADY AND GENTLLEMAN is finishing high- despite having been reduced to a mess after the awards ceremony (it got a Daesang- how?). I guess the home audience loves the two amnesias plus two cancers approach. Clearly someone knew what they were doing- formulas for commercial success work for a reason.

But then there are the consistently quite high ratings for BUSINESS PROPOSAL. Ratings which are so very much deserved. I really hope the executives on K-drama land- and the writers too- get the memo: Put the comedy back into a rom-com- and forgo the insane urge to add unneeded makjang or thriller elements to a rom-com- and you will get a hit. Can anyone doubt that BP is a hit? The idea that you show has to be balanced with these other elements to appeal to a wider audience simply flies in the face of reality and experience. The truth is that people want a comedy to be funny. That is the real bottom line.

Congratulations to Tracer for ending on a ratings high!

Really happy for Love ft Marriage and Divorce. Keep the ratings soaring high.

I really really hope Sponsor catches a breakthrough in the ratings, it's too bad, considering how steady it's developing. Crazy Love seems to have really low ratings, or is it in the same time slot with my adorable Business Proposal. This two happy pills needs the ratings. At least it's not airing in the competitive weekends slots.

A Business Proposal isn't bad but it's like Coffee Prince without the Gender Bender element. It is not bad but I feel like there isn't anything new there. I dropped 39 at episode 4 because it was depressing. Does it get any better? I also dropped Forecasting Love and Weather at episode 4 because I don't feel the chemistry, even though I love Minyoung. Does that get any better?

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 good-looking blank. I get the feeling that the actors and crew for this show are having SO much fun producing and acting in it, there's a lightness and charm to it which is very beguiling. I'm heartbroken to think there are only two more episodes, and I certainly think it will be worth a re-watch in the not too distant future.

Thirty-Nine, on the other hand, is just SO disappointing, it just seems to be a vehicle for one actress and the rest of the cast is there for the ride. And where or where did they find such a disappointingly insipid male lead, his part is so boring I'm surprised he can actually stay awake for the shoot, and the idea that our leading lady would have a one-night stand with him, and practically on first meeting, is plainly absurd. And the misery............oh the misery!

I'm loving Military Prosecutor too. The Male Lead was amazing in My Name, and I seem to recognise him as being a soldier in DOTS so he really seems to be a rising star. The only thing I find depressing is all the corruption - I'm not a Korean, but in every series, whether it is the police, the army, business or schools, corruption seems to be a horribly consistent thread.

OCN’S A SUPERIOR DAY’s alternate title should be: NOBLE IDIOCY: THE DRAMA. Just as OCN’s DARK HOLE became my ‘stinker’ of 2021 ASD has the lead to become my ‘stinker’ of 2022 and the year is still young.
I finished DH because of Lee Joon-hyuk and I will finish (thankfully only 8 episodes) ASD because of Jin Goo but oh my!
