I was thinking Heartbeat would be higher.

King the land: not much plot but I like the way it is truthful about workplace harrassment, sexism, lookism, it piles up every criticism and bulldoses every excuse for inequality, attempts to gossip, and it has the characters demand transparent motifs and truthfulness.

It'd be nice to see "Heartbeat" hit around 5% or 6% because it's a well done, entertaining show.

I continue to think "19th's" ratings are solid if unremarkable, and better than a lot of romcoms or romantic dramas received this year. 8% would have been a huge triumph, but 4-5% is still nothing to be ashamed of, especially because it's in direct competition with a show that's taking up a large portion of the audience.

At this point, "King the Land" has become a reliably escapist weekend drama and I understand why it's getting these numbers. They're likely going to cement Junho's status as an elite leading man, and that's certainly justified. At the same time, I hope execs understand that it's not just the leads' charms that make this watchable for so many people--it's the story itself. Yes, it's thin, tropey, predictable, and sometimes problematic, but it's also unabashedly romantic and swoony, with just the right balance of couples, social commentary, and friendships/coworker bonding (namely, Go Won and his secretary). Is "King the Land" a masterpiece? No. But it does what it does well, and we need more romcoms like that in dramaland.

See You in My 19th Life has a considerable note of tragedy and melancholy. It's a beautiful drama that I like very much, but there are more sad than happy moments in it.
I like Durian's Affair, but let's hope the ratings don't jump too high, because I don't want the screenwriter to write season 2, as it was with her previous drama. Let this story end in 16 episodes.
Heartbeat is a colorful, heartwarming drama with a main couple who are both adorable. Some moments are so funny that I can't remember the last time I watched something so well written.

KING THE LAND deserves the love.

SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE deserves more love.

THE REAL HAS COME is actually struggling a bit for a weekender. Part of the problem may be that there are simply too many couples and so most are not getting enough screen time.

Loving King the Land. Glad to see other drama fans share my enthusiasm for a good ole romcom. There are so few that are well done these days.

Heartbeat is fantastic! The ratings continue to slowly climb as more viewers are finding this hilarious little drama.

I agree with the above reviewer about SYIM 19th Life....too many sad moments and not enough upbeat ones. Viewers can only stand so much sadness these days. While I can appreciate that it's a well-written and acted drama, it's just too much of a downer for me. I finally gave up after the 6th episode.

Of all the shows I’m watching, Revenant is easily the smartest kid on the block.* I know the numbers are good, but I think they should be even better. Is it the genre limiting the audience?

*Lots of love for Heartbeat as well. Hope the audience give it more love as well.

Heartbeat deserves more love. Its understandable though since weekday dramas usually have low ratings compared to weekendera.

I hoped REVENANT will climb even higher but looks like this genre can only go so far, especially against all Saturday competition. 19th LIFE seems to do certain things wrong (darkening and complicating the original plot) seeing that it clearly lost to its main "hotel romance" rival. Shame. tvN truly lost their touch lately, esp with romance shows.
