Ratings for tvN Drama Tomorrow With You Drops by Half by the Third Week

View Comments

• Im equally confused. Im loving this drama so far, the chemistry between the leads is electrifying and OMG the cinematography is beautiful. My guess is that after the failure of Entourage, it seems there is some sort of 'curse' for tvn dramas? Introverted Boss isnt doing that well also. With the exception of Goblin it seems TVN dramas recently has lost some sort of hype, or it could just be that people's expectations of the channel has grown.
  On second thought, its more likely that its due to the competition from Voice, its ratings are a hit currently and many people including me are loving this drama alot.

  • Voice is in different time slot 10pm sat-sun vs 8pm fri-sat twy

    • It is supremely boring. The pacing is too slow and there is no real buy-in to the OTP's story. I was so hopeful - I like the leads. Maybe they should take a break and do a re-write ala Introverted boss.

• i dont understand tho, i love this drama! are people choosing not to watch the tv broadcast and just stream later on? cause i definitely feel like a lot of people are watching this drama....??

  • I didnt watch it yet.
    i think because underwhelming story.im not korean so i just watch finished drama but from the writer,her past drama is not good for me
    Maybe because voice? actually i dont agree when the drama rating is flop and some people blame it on another drama like......goblin can reached 15%....twy:1% voice:5% so where is the rest?
    I didnt blame on neither twy nor voice

    • Sorry pjk i didnt mean to reply your comment >.<

• It's an absolutely lovely drama on all fronts- writing, directing, and acting. So I'm going to peg it as one of those unfortunate underrated gems, which really shouldn't have a reason to be ignored.

  I just hope the low ratings doesn't affect the production by altering it in any way to please the masses. That would be a huge disservice to this drama. I also hope the ratings don't dishearten LJH and SMA from doing future projects like this. They are an absolute treat to watch together.

  I think there's way more international love than domestic, though. I wish there were a platform for international fans to express their appreciation so the team behind the project knows just how much attention and love it's receiving. Sigh.

  • I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said.

• Hmmm somehow I could understand why the ratings fell for this one. I have watched this up until ep 5 and am already thinking of dropping this... Maybe it is just me but somehow the storyline just doesn't really excite me.. Since it is described as a quiet romance, the pace seems somewhat slow and doesn't give me that excicement/anticipation to see what happens next.. After watching kdramas for years, I suppose I like to watch ones that keep me at the edge of my seat and make me anxious to see what happens next and unfortunately this drama gives me none of those..

  • we have the same sentiments! despite the speed in relationship,the story doesn't progress as much and it bothers me that he's sort of hiding things from her regardless of the reason.I'm not even anxious to see what happens next...this is my biggest issue.Good chemistry for sure but myb the story doesn't have chemistry with me.=(

    • also i felt that the time travels were too frequent and leaves me utterly confused. since the contexts are not apparent these trips seems to get in the way of the current time story flow.

  • @ Emily, i have the same feeling. But i'm loving Introvert Boss even if they change the plot line. It's sweet and fun. A classic rom com.

  • @Emily

    I feel exactly the same way. I'm seriously considering dropping this drama after episode 5, and I dropped Introverted Boss after Ep 4. If the story isn't engaging enough, it'll lose viewers.

• It's a good drama and the chemistry between the two leads is off the charts too. The ratings fell week by week due to a strong competition which is the Voice.

  • lol the voice have different time slot so no competition there.
    i think the reason is the pace is too slow?

• I love the drama and by no means it should be compared with introverted boss. TWY has a solid script and the chemisq between the leads are to sie for. I blame it on the audience.

  • *chemistry *die. Sorry about the typo.

  • Not everything can be blamed on the audience. This is a niche time travel drama that doesn't connect well with mainstream viewers. There are no strong side characters with their own interesting stories. In fact the side characters feel dull, and cardboard cut. The cinematography itself is dull and dark, and the time travels to the future feel jarring to the central plot.

    The feel of the drama is more slice-of-life than exciting thriller or rom com, or even a weepy melo, and historically with the exception of tVN's Reply series, tVN's slice of life dramas typically tend to be underperforming no matter how charming they are e.g. Surplus Princess, Plus Nine Boys, Ex Girlfriend Club.

• I also dont understand the ratings. My opinions is koreans found that this drama is not as engaging as voice and its predecessor aka the big hit goblin.

  For me I both enjoy tmy and voice because both of them have different genre and approach. Tmy has a slow building romance with a bunch of fate mystery surrounding the character while voice is fast paced as expected for crime drama.

• I've only seen positive comments from both international and korean fans alike so I really don't know why the rating keeps falling. With tvN's other flops like Introverted Boss and Entourage, there were at least negative comments and complaints that explained the bad rating. This is one is truly a mystery, tvN has MUCH worse shows that still managed to get 4%. I don't get it. I, for one, am absolutely loving the drama. So I'm relieved that it's pre-produced and they can't cut it. I just hope they don't try to re-edit it like Moon Lovers and Saimdang.

  • I know. Every k-site I visit is always full of up voted positive comments that rave about the chemistry and storyline. Yet, the number ar so low. I hope the actors and crew aren't too dissapointed by it all, and yes, let's pray tvN doesn't do silly re-editing (I'd be shocked if they did so. Entourage had worse numbers and they left it alone to run its full course. They better not touch TWY!)

    • @Lin they change the storyline for Introvert boss because of the same ratings. they were waiting for a hit. I suppose they were waiting more from a drama with actors as SMH and Ljh ! But if it's preproduced the only thing they can do is re editing.

• It's a really good drama. Acting (LJH and SMA have amazing chemistry), writing (I love how the drama has and adult relationship and realistically confronts so many issues newlyweds face -having babies for example-), and directing (the cinematography is dark, and melo, and calm, and just has many gorgeous perfect gif scenes).

  I think it's not connecting with k audience because it's not flashy colorful rom-com with runway walk model moments in abundance (yes I'm talking Goblin which is cotton candy drama to me). I wouldn't call this show a rom-com. It's melancholic, calm, slow, and feels more of a romance, mystery, semi thriller and melodrama, than a rom-com. It has its moments of funny but it's just not the zany, over the top, in your face bit moments audience seem to love. It's an all round great drama that should have much more viewers than it's been getting.

  • I totally agree with you on this one. Everything about this show is perfect. Maybe people preferred a romcom with all the stress that their daily life is giving them. Heh. I hope the cast and crew will not be discouraged by the ratings game because this show is so beautiful and the way they deliver their lines is natural like they've been friends for a long time. Another reason perhaps is because the story is taking it's time to show how complex/selfish LJH's character is given that he's a time travel and has the power to alter his future. But if I'm given that same kind of power I might end up like him because who wants to die in the near future right?

• I would love to like it as there are quite a few interesting aspects to it but it Comes across as a bit lacklustre to me though I cannot define the Problem. It never leaves me desperately wanting more...
