Drama viewership ratings for the week of Aug. 26-Sep. 1, 2019
by SailorJumun
It’s a new month, and with a new month comes new dramas! Joining the Monday-Tuesday lineup was tvN’s The Great Show, which had a great start with 3 percent ratings. A Moment at Eighteen, a fellow cable show over on JTBC, also got 3 percent ratings, even nearing 4 percent. I’ll be cheering for this sweet little youth drama to beat its record in its final two weeks.
The majority of Wednesday-Thursday shows will be ending in just a couple of days, so I’ll be cheering those on as well. Justice, Rookie Historian, and Class of Lies have been the real standouts here, constantly fighting for first place — it’ll be interesting to see who gets to first place with their last episode.
Over the weekend, one show quickly came and went (Hotel del Luna, with some damn good numbers), and more are about to do the same. That leaves us with our second and final premiere this week, Hell Is Other People. And this premiere deserves two celebrations — one for actor Im Shi-wan’s return and another for an impressive 3.8 rating.

Im Siwan is impressive in Hell Is Other People. I hope it can become OCN's highest-rated drama.

Wish 'Be Melodramatic' was receiving more love. It's such a good drama with great dialogue and characters.

I agree!!! I love the dialogues.. so light, relatable, and heart breaking sometimes. It never fail to leave me crying by the end of each episode.. I cried when Eun-joong finally broke down in the editing room, when she never realized how she always “talked” to herself. It’s kind of breaking when she was dumbfounded looking herself in the video, talked to (Hong Dae) herself..:

It was so heartbreaking and I feel for all the characters but I was more invested in her the most. I’m kind of glad she’s on her way to coming out of her shell of pain!

I cried at that scene too! To be honest, her character has me crying a lot. She's in so much pain but doesn't seem to realize it. She needed that video as a wake up call.

I know.... her housemates and other friends who know about it decided to "ignore" because it has become her habit. But I think this is why So-min told her to tell her story (while she's doing her beauty treatment).
Eun-joong seems so strong, but she frail inside... I remember in the first episode, she's the one who's trying to catch In-gook's father when he left Han-joo. But now, things have been different. Han-joo is actually became stronger... (well, I don't say Eun-joong is not strong, but she needs a wake up call).

I think her friends ignore it, because they are scared for her, she attempted suicide so they walk around her on tiptoes.

It's such an uncomfortable position for all of them to be in. Sweeping things under the rug and pretending this big issue isn't occurring is easier than confronting it. Maybe Eun-joong and So-min's relationship may become a driving force in Eun-joong waking up. I'm looking forward to how the situation is handled in the next few episodes.

I'm always surprised by the difference between the first part and the second part of an episode. It means some people doesn't watch the first half and only the end? It's pretty weird...
2019 is the Yeo Jin Gu' year! Crowned Clown and Hotel del Luna are both great drama!

I'm so happy hell is other people is getting recapped here. I enjoyed the first 2 ep. they really built the creepy well. and I can somewhat relate to im siwan cuz back when I was a piss poor college student I used to live in a tiny bed spacing room but at least the other tenants weren't creepy
