I usually get bored when Sageuks focus on familial conflicts and internal plotting, but face off between Crown Prince and The king in Ep 3 of Red Cuff of the Sleevewas so good. Deserving ratings so far.

NWABU have higher ratings than Happiness wow I'm surprised. I think Happiness deserve more ratings, it is well written and high budget drama and unique in itself. And lastly, both the leads are slaying their roles.

Jirisan still doing well, is it getting better? im still hesitant after reading some negative comments about the special effects and storyline.

The ratings for YOUNG LADY AND GENTLEMAN continue to rise. I am curious to se the effect of an amnesia arc- will some viewers be turned off?

I did not expect this given how much I am enjoying King's Affection but I think Red Sleeve Cuff is even better. I have not seen a performance by Lee Se-young this loose and natural, and I love the friendship between the apprentice court ladies. (Huh, I just realized that I don't use the word "ladies" much nowadays except when referencing sageuks). Based upon the character previews, I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop and Deuk-ro to show his true colors -- I am already invested enough fear for our OTP (at least as much fear as can be felt in light of known history.)

Chimera is surprisingly good so quite sad that the ratings are low.
The Red Sleeve and Secret Royal Inspector & Joy are my sageuks so I am glad to see they are both getting decent ratings.
I have to catch up on Idol, Happiness and Jirisan.

There is a sageuk for everyone and it’s good to see them all with decent ratings.

RED SLEEVE is in a tight spot and I’m rooting for it to reach double digit for many reasons.

Just appalling that the drivelfest which is Now we are breaking up was at 7.9% and the gem that is Happiness is only pulling between 3.1-3.5%!

The competition between The Red Sleeve and NWABU is a sad (or good?) example how a drama can't rely too much on big names (average qlty) actors with weak plot/writing.
I probably will get a lot of hate for this, but The Red Sleeve is too good to be on the similar rating with NWABU.

I am making an exception since I generally don’t comment on dramas I am not watching. A couple thoughts on Jang Ki-yong now appearing in NWABU (which I am not watching). I became a JKY fan after watching his performance in CAHM. The only JKY dramas I have seen beside CAHM are KILL IT, GO BACK COUPLE and BEAUTIFUL MIND.

Ratings wide NWABU is so far the best average ratings drama that JKY has been in since GO BACK COUPLE (2017).

Now to two dramas I am watching the sageuks: tvn’sSECRET ROYAL INSPECTOR & JOY and MBC’sTHE RED SLEEVE.
In my mind I have a sort of Taec vs Junho horse race going on. The race is not an an even ‘track’ because among the variables its tvN (cable) vs MBC (terrestrial) thus Junho is the favorite.

So after 4 episodes if I am calling the race I would say:
“As we go into the first turn it is Junho in the lead by a head (about 2% to 2.5% lead in the ratings.)”
There are still 12 episodes to go. I will report after the next four episode when the guys are in the back stretch.

Can't say enough that I LOVE RED SLEEVE CUFF! Love the cheerful gossipy life of the court maids and court ladies and between them and the bubbly princesses, the sweet grandpa King that one time is caring and the other time is scary (typical grandpa attitude!), most of all the sweet adorable main couple!! I didn't know that it's based on real history story, I really hope it's happy ending.

I would love it if The King’s Affection could reach 10% ratings!

Happiness's ratings have been pretty consistent. Wish it would rise though. Things are getting more intense~!

I’m so glad to see the sageuks doing well. I’m watching and thoroughly enjoying all three. I do hope Red Sleeve Cuff can overtake NWABU in ratings soon.

Since many are praising The Red Sleeve, maybe people will look into Lee Se Young's filmography and watch another MBC gem aka Kairos 😆.

Last but not least, MBC fighting! MBC has been struggling with ratings for so long, glad to see MBC have good ratings in it's new fri-sat slot.

I wish The Secret Royal Inspector & Joy will get more love as they deserve. Please DB even a weecap is most welcome. PS I am a candy beanie for a week but a longtime fan and lurker for years.

At first, I hated the the story twist in Young Lady and Gentleman. But now, I understand why it happened, it's to prouve that the heart never forget even though the brain does 💖. That's why I'm loving it. It's so new of an idea. Also I love how it didn't take much episodes to revive YK and DD's love 🥰. It seems YK starts to feel something again towards DD. That's why I'm so satisfied ☺.
