Money Game touching 3% possible. atleast get back the cost.
Trash is what Money Game writer should get into to keep his/her livelihood.

I didn't watch the 2019 version of Fruits Basket. I have only old memories of this manga/anime.

KBS aired Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life this week-end.

Not surprised about The Game: Towards Zero. Oddly enough, and in spite of everyone's most confident projections and assumptions, a stint in the army somehow did NOT teach Taecyeon to be a better actor. The mind reels.

Why is Queen: War between Women not ever shown on the ratings? Thankfully, it wasn't preempted this weekend.

Aww no Stove League T____T

Happy Yuki Sohma year indeed!

Korea Times article states the reason why some dramas suddenly get longer episodes: it is corporate warfare.

South Korean TV stations have been competing fiercely for viewers by extending the runtimes of popular prime-time shows, data showed Wednesday.

SBS, one of the three major terrestrial networks, has extended the runtime of its Monday-Tuesday dramas from 60 to 80 minutes in a bid to gain an early edge over rival dramas in the same slot.

The medical melodrama "Dr. Romantic 2," which premiered on Jan. 6, starts at 9:40 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday and runs through 11:00 p.m.

It is about a genius but eccentric doctor called Teacher Kim, played by veteran actor Han Suk-kyu, at a hospital in a small town. He seeks to recruit a general surgeon to fill a vacancy at his hospital and faces two promising doctors who have their own stories.

Thanks to the popularity of the first season, "Dr. Romantic," and its big-name stars, its viewership touched 20 percent for Tuesday's eighth episode.

SBS's extension has dealt a blow to cable channels tvN and JTBC, which set their Monday-Tuesday time slots at 9:30 p.m.

Released on Dec. 16, tvN's "Black Dog: Being a Teacher" hit 5.5 percent in daily viewership in December, but the number dropped to 4 percent or so after "Dr. Romantic" began in early January. For the 14th and latest episode, it received a 4.4 percent viewership.

JTBC's Monday-Tuesday legal drama "Diary of a Prosecutor" started on Dec. 16, getting a daily rating of 5 percent. But it hit a series low of 2.7 percent on Monday, recovering to 3.5 percent for Tuesday.

On the other hand, tvN came up with the same strategy for its weekend series and took the lead in the heated competition for the time slot.

Its weekend romantic comedy "Crash Landing On You" airs from 9:10 p.m. to 10:45 p.m., making it about 85 minutes in duration, much longer than the usual 60 minute per episode.

Starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, it tells the story of the heiress of a big-name fashion business in the South who is blown away by a windstorm while paragliding, crash lands in North Korea and meets a North Korean soldier.

The drama peaked at 14.6 percent for its 10th and most recent episode, the fourth highest rating by a tvN series, following "Replay 1988" (2015), "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" (2016) and "Mr. Sunshine" (2018).

"Crash Landing" overlaps with SBS's hit sports drama "Hot Stove League," which starts 10 p.m. every Friday and Saturday and lasts about 40-45 minutes. It features the general manager of a professional baseball club, played by Namkoong Min, whose goal is to get his team from the bottom of the league to the top.

As a result, the Saturday viewership rating of "Hot Stove League" is slightly lower than its Friday rating. Last week, its Friday show rose to as high as 17 percent in viewership, but the number fell slightly to 16.5 percent on Saturday.

Experts noted that the new...
