Sol Pharmacy’s finale makes it top-rated drama of the year

As noted in the previous post about weekend drama ratings, Sons of Sol Pharmacy ended on a strong note. Its Sunday finale brought KBS a series (and year) high with ratings of 48.6%.

This also means that it has surpassed SBS’s Brilliant Legacy to claim top spot of the entire year out of all three broadcast stations (Brilliant Legacy‘s high was a 47.1%). There are three dramas that have broken the 40% mark this year; MBC’s Monday-Tuesday historical series Queen Seon-deok is the third.

I won’t get into plot spoilers about Sol Pharmacy‘s finale, but suffice to say that there were laughs and tears, and generally satisfying wrap-ups for the relationships of each of the Song family sons, as befitting the series’ emphasis on family and comedy. Next up in its time slot: Three Brothers (or Three Suspicious Brothers), which comes from the writer of Infamous Chil Princesses. Lee Jun-hyuk (A Star’s Lover), Ahn Nae-sang (First Wives Club), and Oh Dae-kyu (First Wives Club) star as the three brothers; the drama’s tagline reads, “Is family a yoke or a refuge?”

If only this drama wasn't so long, I'd watch it. I find even over 20 episodes long. 16 is perfect.

I love this drama. stayed up late just to wait for my torrent to finnish downloading the last eps. very satisfying indeed the BS & DP proposal. if only they also do the wedding like his 2 brothers. but regardless the wedding photoshoot was also hilarious.

I loved this drama... only wish they hadn't extended it! I think when they extended it, they ended up lengthening the DP-BS part to angsty lengths!!! Otherwise, it was a great show. I'd totally recommend it! Don't be put off by the episode #. The episodes are a lot shorter than normal dramas, so it feels like it is 27 episodes long...

@iwasing - I'm not an ajumma or a mother and I love this show... if you don't, o well... I'd tell everyone to wait till at least episode 16 to see the dramas true worth... if you still don't like it after that... =(

I am sad to see this show end! I am so lazy when it comes to d/l stuff and to be honest, I only watch when I hang out with the fam and I am perusing my mother's collection of rentals. I think ms. beans said it herself- this drama reminds you of your family, cos even if they aren't your parents, your uncles or aunts or the parents of your friends are like this.

Now I am sad, cos I was enjoying watching doramas. I may have to start watching 미남이시네요 cos it sounds like a HOOT from your recaps.

I'm only up to episode 40 on Sol Pharmacy, so I've still got a number of episodes to go. I know I'll be sad to see the show end. I'm crazy about Park Sun Young's Sujin character and I'm curious what happens with Boksil and Daepung. I can understand why this is such a highly watched drama. It is very suspenseful.

I loved this drama! My favorite character of all was Bok-shil, mostly because I found her actress very endearing. She seemed totally in her element.

The only one teeny bit that I felt was forced was the relationship between Yong-chul/Su-hee. Throughout the drama (first 30 eps or so), there was not much to even suggest that they were interested in pursuing a relationship except for through Hana. I felt that just because they were already Hana's parents that the writers were "forced" to push them together.

Ok, so I liked Mi-pung/Su-hee better. But they didn't have to end up together. I mean, they're still just 19. But Yong-chul/Su-hee seemed worse. And I get Yong-chul's jealousy about Mi-pung/Su-hee. I just felt that they could have done so much more with them.

But I think the scene before the last scene with them (Mi-pung/Su-hee/Yong-chul/Hana) was very comical yet poignant - they were all sitting around crying. Definitely one of the best scenes in the drama.

Ok, rant over.
