I didn’t expect a jump for Slump!! I didn’t enjoy these episodes as much. I guess ep 9 drop makes sense.

May be I should check out Flex Cop since I plan to get Hulu subscription.

I loved ep 9. I cried my eyes out over Ha-neul and her mom.

Her scenes with mom are all wonderful. I liked them too. I think I was just annoyed with too much information dispersed by ‘air’.

If you are in the mood for a well done (police) comedy with heart, do check Chaebol, it is great fun. And I think the actors are enjoying it as well. 🙂

I was also thinking that a temporary Hulu subscription might be a good idea.

Just take into account that Flex x Cop gets a LOT better after the first 2-3 episodes.

I always feel that actors should be paid more for playing bad guys because of the psychological costs and social sacrifices they have to make. Playing the good guys is a piece of cake in comparison. Honestly, the leads had it easy in this drama. It's much easier on the psyche playing a good guy and everyone ends up rooting for you.

Only if you're a good actor (like Kim So-yeon in The Penthouse or Lim Ji-yeon in The Glory) because no way does BoA (Yu-ra) deserve to be paid more than Park Min-young. After a while, I started rooting for the bad guys (Su-min and Min-hwan) because the good guys (Ji-won and Ji-hyuk) were so boring.

As long as there’s someone for us to root for, the show is still watchable 😂

It was heartbreaking to read Song Ha Yoon's interview on how she felt herself to be a victim of Soo Min.

Disagree, I think the whole ensemble worked well together.

It's good to see the increase in "The Goryeo-Khitan War." The rating is good but not impressive for a KBS anniversary sageuk.

Also, QoD seems to be comfortably coasting in the 5%. I won’t be surprised if it increases in the final weeks if there is some dramatic showdown with chaebol mom 😅

I am hopeful Dr Slump can make it to 10 by the end of the run. It’s been hovering in the 5-6 zone for a while so I wasn’t sure. If it can start at 8 on Saturday that will bode well as they always have a climb on a Sunday.

Between Him and her managed a climb from 0.2 last week so if they get back to their premier week rating of 0.5 by the final episode I think they will be happy. They have been clinging on between 0.3-0.4 during their entire airing which must be very disappointing for them but is a fair reflection of the real time depressing content.

What a pleasant surprise for Flex x Cop—and well deserved. It’s the best TGIF watch.

I hope Captivating the King numbers rise for the finale, if for nothing but JJS’ performance. But I don’t know if it will break into double digits.

“Best TGIF watch” is such a fitting description. I love dramas like that, not much complicated in psychological department, propelled by interesting action with hilarious chaebol-cop premise that provides fuel to what could have been a very boring plot. We def need dramas like that in our lives.

The production team is doing a hard pitch for the last two eps of Love Song for Illusion. Although I dropped it a few weeks ago, I ended up catching up this past weekend and I'm going to go for the bean this week. My current opinion as of ep 14 is that it's not great but it's not that awful either. It had a long-ish slump in the middle, plus competition from MMH, so it's not surprising that the ratings are a whimper at this point. Eps 13-14 were markedly better though. Let's see if they can recoup some dignity in these last two eps!

I'm quite puzzled with the high ratings of Queen of Divorce, the show is not THAT good - is it the no competition on Wednesday / Thursday slot... or Oh Minseok's charm 😁 ?

DOCTOR SLUMP is a good show and it is no surprise to see the ratings climb.

QUEEN OF DIVORCE is doing OK but it should be given how little competition it faces. I do find it entertaining.

Now that the main mystery has been revealed it is unlikely that we will see ratings climb for our Weekender LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE. All potential side romances are sidelined and the opposition of her mom to the FL's marriage is the tiresome continuation of the tiresome antics of a tiresome character who has taken up way too much screentime. There were some good moments in these episodes and some major surprises, but it is hard to see how the writer can keep up the interest in this show through the final six episodes. I do not think that the search for the FL's dad is going to engender much interest.

THE KHITAN GORYEO WAR episodes were positively thrilling, and it is no surprise to see the audience share climb to where it did even though the third and final invasion has not yet quite begun.

I am looking forward to watching QUEEN OF TEARS and also WEDDING IMPOSSIBLE.

The reason why rating for Live Your Own Life has never improved is because there is no good love story for Tae min. There is nothing exciting about the main couple's relationship after they got together and other couples are just fillers in this drama. Taesan's conflicts are not enough to raise the rating. Tae min's romance story could have increased rating to 23% -25% if it is written well. Maybe after what happened with Three Bold Siblings, writers have to prioritize the main couple only and other couples can't have good story, it also happened in The Real Has Come.

I think that you may be right. But TRHC proved that doing this instead is an even bigger mistake. The truth is that Tae-min was set up to have the best enemies to lovers story of all time- and then that was inexcusably dropped. 25% is too low- the ratings would have been much higher, as high as was achieved by YOUNG LADY AND GENTLEMAN.

Wow! Did everyone come home from vacation and spent time in front of the tv? most of the ratings jumped up! Fun times in drama land! Really happy to see Slump jump so high. And Flex Cop is finding roots and getting better by the episode.
