Beanie level: Noble idiot

So I’ve been inactive since July and now just dropping by to say that 7 new Kdramas in November are adaptations of webtoon/novel/Japanese TV series. A lot has changed since 10-yr old “The Heirs”

    Thanks for sharing it!

    The Nokdu Flower and Prison Playbook should be in that list, imo (this one adjusts to the Baeksang nominations criteria).
    I’ll take note of some shows that weren’t in my Plan to watch list yet.

      I also like Prison Playbook, although I only watched until ep 13 iirc. One of series from the list that I highly recommend to my friends is HOT STOVE LEAGUE. Maybe you can consider it too. Park Eun-bin is in it!

    And I’m so sick of everything airing on the weekends, I need balance. 😞

    Tbh, TSRG was the only show I was watching for at least a whole month. It made the week (Monday) better. 😢💔

    I’ve been reluctant to do this, but this person (bot?) posts only to promote his/her web site and it doesn’t seem much different from any other flavor of spam.

      Hi fellow beanie, I’m sorry if you see it that way. It’s true that I’ve been posting Rypler-related content these past few months. I’m a big fan of DB ever since javabeans was still around and I understand how important substantial beanie posts are in this community. From now on, I will do my best to contribute better and only sparsely promote external links where applicable. Thank you.

Guys, ‘Extraordinary Atty Woo’ already hit 9.1% nationwide rating last night and double digit in Seoul area! Show’s popularity is on fire. https://rypler.com/kdrama-daily-ratings-update/

    Oh my, that’s amazing!! AHHH I’m so glad – after loving a run of dramas that the Korean audience apparently wasn’t that taken with, I’m so glad this is getting all the love and hype that it’s genuinely earned and deserves 💕

      Yeah and the fact that ratings are very high this early relative to the show’s 8-week run is crazzzy. SKY Castle didn’t even hit 9% until episode 8.

    It hits all the right notes (except for the lawsuit premises that don’t quite make sense like still being able to charge the autistic son with assault even after determining he tried to save his brother).

      He tried to save him but then lost it and was hitting him over and over when the parents came home, IIRC.

    That is incredible and not unexpected after they had over 50% on the latest buzzworthy list. I read that was even slightly higher than Penthouse, which was crazy popular.

“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” has exploded in popularity, becoming the most buzzworthy drama last week (https://rypler.com/weekly-korean-drama-rankings/) and most watched primetime Kdrama on July 6!

    Wow! It’s in the lead by a long shot.

    It’s interesting that Ghost doctor is trending on Netflix. I wonder why the sudden interest? They must be promoting it on the home page.

      I guess it’s because Ghost Doctor was only made available on Netflix recently (3rd week of June) and people were checking it out because of international star Rain, and also Kim Bum who’s more popular among the younger audience.

        I thought it always was on Netflix but maybe I saw it on Viki then as I watched it ages after the release date.

          It was on Viki and just released on Netflix. I wish it had been on Netflix from the beginning. I think it would have gotten much more attention when it was airing.

            Ok that makes sense! I alternate my subscriptions according to who has the shows I want. It is a shame if the shows miss out on the International audience if they can’t be found.

            I resisted Viki for ages as I didn’t want two subscriptions running but had to get it to watch Mr Queen and What’s wrong with secretary Kim?

    Guilty as charged. I’ve posted about it on my SNS accounts and I rarely post about kdramas where people know me. 😆

      Comments I read online have nothing but praise for it. I should start watching it too soon.

        I would definitely recommend it, good storyline and well acted. When I spoke about it before in another thread the general consensus is the younger actor’s strengths come when he is working alongside an experienced actor.

    I knew the ratings would go up when I saw the buzzworthy lists but didn’t expect them to jump all the way to 4% for Episode 3. Well done!

    Well-deserved! Episode 3 really packs a punch
