Cheers for Smart Prison Living lol

Very happy for Jugglers's increase in ratings on Tuesday but not surprised since episode 4 is all kinds of funny.

I wonder how Just Between Lovers did since its numbers are not included. The first two episodes are very promising for a beautiful drama to come.

Where are the numbers for Just Between Lovers?

so would anyone suggest watching i'm not a robot? i like rom-coms but the ratings look horrible...

I am happy for 4 shows due to increase in ratings episode by episode.
1. Jugglers- Loved the last two eps.
2. Smart prison living - Slow, but really one of the best out there.
3. Money flower- Kang pil joo OWNS it.
4. Black Knight- 90% for Kim rae won, 10% fot the mystical feel.

It seems the change in ratings for Jugglers and Two Cops reflects my change of interest in those two shows...

And yay! for Money Flower!

Yay smart prison living deserves all those numbers and more.
However, I am extremely sad for I am not a Robot, seems like people are not even giving it a chance.
Looking at the chart, I realised how different kind of shows are airingin this crop of dramas however, DB has chosen to recap shows that more or less lie in somewhat the same territory.

In fact, Black Knight had already pulled ahead during its debut week. It’s appears to be doing pretty well in South Korea but less so internationally. The main objection seems to be with the female lead’s past performances but she’s playing her part competently here. She doesn’t overact but she certainly shows a range of emotion, albeit at times fairly subtly.

Kim Rae won has also ruffled feathers as a result of his choice of role in the past, particularly by those who confuse character with actor. His popularity both at home and abroad make it unlikely that he is the cause of this negativity, though.

I’ve read some suggestions that the plot resembles other dramas from a similar genre - eh yes but that’s what makes them belong to that genre. Rather like criticizing legal dramas for being about lawyers.

I also noted a lot of hate for this show on a major international streaming site before it even premiered; there were low ratings given before any episodes had been broadcast. The drama has yet to appear on the site main page nor is it coming up as a top pick for me although I’ve watched all episodes.

Am I being paranoid or is there some kind of conspiracy going on? Is it something to do with it being kocowa content? What is going on?

How irony it is.. when fans wanted other drama to get what Yoo Seung-ho's last drama (Ruler) got, but now fans want the other drama's rating for Yoo Seung-ho's current drama. (It is Yoo Seung-ho - Yeon Woo-jin competing again lol, and now with Kim Rae-won as well). Well that's the rating game for us, hard to understand because people are watching what they want, good drama for us not necessarily the same for others. I'm glad Judge vs Judge is doing well despite of less hyped casts, just for the casts. As for Black Knight - for me 90% for its mysterious part (credits to our two immortals i.e. Sharon and Baek-hee who made me stay with this drama) and 10% for Kim Rae-won. It's not a huge hit yet and I'm not sure it it will reach doube digit soon. I haven't checked the netizens' reactions towards this drama, but it is interesting to know what contributing to this good rating.

With tvN joined the game -Wise Prison Life also has same airing time (started at 9.30pm), we can expect more competition. Wait until jTBC and OCN join as well, 3% for public broadcasters might not even a surprise anymore.

Just Between Lovers is airing at 11pm on Mon-Tues, it might not a good strategy for rating. This timeslot is also new, I think jTBC used to have this timeslot but I couldn't recall what drama was that, so actually the rating was decent.

I will never understand ratings.
Robot is such a cute show with a great cast and lovable characters and exactly what I needed right now.

Nothing to Lose on the other hand I'll continue to watch for the cast, but the writing leaves something to be desired. I can't get over how everyone is somehow coincidentally connected and writing judgments on cases they should definitely not be presiding over.
That said the cast is doing great and someone please give our knucklehead prosecutor a warm hug.

It looks like tvN has a show , Drama Stage, that looks similar to KBS’s Drama Specials, 1 ep dramas. I see a few episodes are out, not subbed though. Has anyone watched them?

Yay for Wise Prison Life! The power of Looney’s super saiyan moves and yoga poses. 😆 Kidding aside, show is seriously good and it deserves its high ratings.

I am not watching Nothing to Lose because I can't imagine the characters as judges, but I had predicted this would be a good choice for Dong Ha rather than accepting the lead role in I'm Not a Robot. Also Yeon Woo Jin deserves some love after the mediocre ratings of Seven Day Queen.

I am so happy that smart prison living is doing so good. I love that drama. The whole cast are doing a great job. I am yet to watch episode 7-8 as I am yet to find eng subs.
Oh... Not forgetting black knight. I find it intriguing and as always I am not bored with ssk. I love the whole concept and I can't wait next episodes.
I feel so bad for I am not a robot... It deserves more than what it is getting now. Ratings this year haven't been nice to some of my favorite dramas.
Watching 9 dramas right now... Nice to see their ratings are okay.

Yeah Money Flower sets another high record for itself and it’s only at the halfway mark. Hope it crosses the 20% mark soon! Jang Hyuk fighting !

I watched 2 episodes of Prison PlayBook but I don't find it as amazing as everyone saying, the first episode was boring, the second is better but still not hooked, JKH doesn't have much screen time the drama is mainly revolving around the Superstar, i wish they made him his cellmate instead of being an officer, he doesn't do much, I don't how things are in the upcoming episodes but i zone out a lot while watching.

"Smart Prison Living" is doing very well as expected. I can't wait till it's over so I can marathon it.
I'm very happy for Jung Kyoung-ho and Park Hae-soo.

"Bad Guys 2" is also doing well in ratings as expected.
Seems like all the heavy dramas are doing very well. No surprise there.

Jang Hyuk <3. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a sageuk again "The Swordsman" 2018.

Big freaking yay to "Golden Life" for hitting national drama status last week.
I'm sooo happy for Shin Hye-sun and some of my favorite veteran actors, Chun Ho-jin etc.

Anyone know who's subbing "Bad Guys #2"?

I was overseas in Asia the last 2 weeks in November and that really put be behind in keeping up with my dramas. When I returned on Dec. 1st and to maximize my 2017 bean count I had to finish WYWS, Witch's Court and Mad Dog before I could begin a new series. I am still plodding through Temperature of Love a 32 episode (not 40) drama if there ever was one.
As always there are several dramas I would like to be watching but I had my eye on 2 of them: Prison Playbook and I'm Not a Robot.
I started Prison Playbook last week it has really grabbed a hold of me.
I am a fan of Jung Kyung-ho from Cruel City days so I was hoping to watch this drama. The idea of 90 minutes episodes was initially a bit daunting but I am enjoying the pace and character development through the first 4 episodes. I look forward to the next episodes so the episode length I haven't found to be a detraction. I think the ratings are proving out that this is a quality drama. The performances so far have been terrific across-the-board.

Started watching Black Knight but I am surprised the numbers are so high already. Just between lovers is on a late timeslot but hope it gets better numbers.

I really like I'm Not A Robot. Is it just me? Or is it because of Yoo Seung-ho? Well, either way I don't mind if they're getting low rating. I'm still liking it. It's fresh and fun. Chae Soo-bin has grown!

Waiting for Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World to be subbed but pleased to see it did well ratings wise.

Agreed, there are a lot of dramas airing at the moment but I'm not keeping up with a lot of them too. I only watch MY GOLDEN LIFE, MONEY FLOWER, and I'M NOT A ROBOT.

Maybe this coming new year offers some weekdays drama of my cup of tea.
