Ratings for Wed dramas are dismal except for MWDTL which keeps rising.
Manhole debuts in what must be one of the lowest for a premiere 😱 – 3.1%. Criminal Minds goes down to 2.368%.

    I was surprised that Manhole premiered lower that SDQ and School premiere’s rating. I was expected to see it got around 6-7% at least. Ahjussshi still holding power 😂 I guess Ha Ji Won’s drama will be easier to win the rating later.

      Tbh, I couldn’t resist posting this pic which I thought was hilarious. Look at Shin Sung Rok’s face! From ep 1, I wanted to see his FIL ‘kill’ him, LOL. Yeah, Ahjusshi is rocking it.

      I am shocked at Manhole’s ratings. I didn’t think it would be fantastic but wasn’t expecting it to be so low. I wonder if it’s got to do with anti sentiments towards JJ or Uee? I’m not saying there is, just that kpop and k entertainment world are kinda complex for me to understand.

        hahaha, I know. I saw many hilarious pics as well!

        I’m not sure about it. I don’t think both JJ and Uee can bring the audiences that much. They are either hit or miss for me. Just like Yoona and Siwan for TKL where they are famous idols esp Yoona, but still can’t bring many audiences to watch their drama. But still the rating below 4% for 1st epi was too low.

        OTT, Uee is way too skinny. When she is beside Jung Hye Sung, you can easily notice who is the one looks healthier and prettier.

        That might be the case too. Jaejoong is not a stable actor, I watched his drama, Triangle, he’s good there but I heard his performance in Spy drama was not that great. The same case with Uee, she’s good in Marriage Contract, I guess mostly because Lee Seo Jin’s influence, but in other dramas, she’s lack of expression. I don’t like her in Night Light because she’s too bland, even that drama receives low ratings.

          I agree. Both aren’t stable yet and their performance still depends a lot on good script and good directing. Between the two I personally have a soft spot for UEE though. I don’t know why but I haven’t got into JJ yet, both acting and look wise.

    It’s hard to like Manhole’s plot, time-travelling and breaking your best friend wedding who you’ve a crush on for more than 20 years. So to me, the fact that they got 3% is acceptable with the amount of promotions that KBS made.

      I haven’t watched it yet. Have you watched it?

        Yes, I’ve watched it. The first episode is a mess. They introduce way too many characters at once by Bong Pil (Jaejoong) running around the neighborhood meeting all the characters and ranting his frustration about Soo Ji’s wedding in a week. I only like Jung Hye Sung’s character in episode 1 as she seems like the most reasonable person in this drama, but I don’t know, I may be a bit bias because I love her as an actress.

      I haven’t watched it but comments so far weren’t positive. This might mean even worse for the show since ep 1 will affect ep 2’s ratings.

        Now I’m tempted to check it out. Curiosity always gets the better of me. Ack 😝
