It’s a hit right off the bat for new Fri-Sat cable network jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Friday’s premiere started off with an impressive for cable 3.829% ratings and Saturday’s second episode rose another 1.9% to hit 5.758%. This blows away the competition over on tvN as Tomorrow With You has stalled at 1.839% for Friday’s episode and dropped to 1.122% on Saturday. I’m about to watch the first two episodes so I don’t know if the drama is actually good to merit the ratings but I’m going to assume so since Tomorrow With You has top stars as leads but the ratings keep dropping along with viewer disconnect with the directing and writing. I like to think male lead Park Hyung Sik suffered through playing second male lead in the disappointing Hwarang because he was promised this drama, lol.
So I suggest keeping expectations low for this drama, despite the fan love for the…

As much as I love Park Seo Joon I admit Park Hyung Shik was more charismatic than him in Hwarang, and don't even mention Go Ara, she was the main reason I dropped the drama lol late in ep. 14
I could not agree more. I came to watch Hwarang for Park Seo Joon but Park Hyung Sik was the one making me stay. Except for Go Ara, the rest of the casts acting were pretty decent but PHS totally stole the thunder from everyone and the boy simply cut out for sageuk. I am glad he will find wider recognition with SWDBS being this good and hopefully keeping the momentum till the end. Hwarang was good in the beginning but totally lose its ground by the mid-half.
Go Ara only had 3 facial expressions in Hwarang: happy, sad and stubborn
agree.. is she is casted as a robot she will excel lmao
I think it's mainly the writing because Seo Jun's character is just so bland when compared to Hyun Shik's complicated one that his development outshines others.
The drama is a hoot. Loved every second of it. ??
+ one. . Fresh , hilarious, ... All the ingrédients to have a good time . And i wasn't planning on watching it !
Totally agree, fresh ,hilarious, good cast ... a beautiful surprise ! TWY is a total failure i term of ratings, even Introvert Boss did better this week.
I'm going to give this drama a try I like the male lead since high society.....
I need some light hearted fun. I dropped Introverted Boss after episode three or four and didn't feel the need to pick it up again, despite the script changes. After Goblin I wasn't in the mood to pick a new drama. So, looking forward to this.
I'm still wacthing it. They changhed it in a more traditional romcom. And i like Yun Woo jin . But SWDBS is on another level.
this drama is so good. Park bo young is Gem in this drama. She is so cute. I just love her so much.
This drama is so fun ! It mixes really well the cute with Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Sik and the dark with crimes (I wonder if the bad guy is Ji Soo).
I want to watch the rest for their relationship development and for the investigation.
absolutely absolutely love this drama, even better than my ghostess. park Bo young rocks!!
Tomorrow with you is really good, realistic show but I can see why it fails to attract viewers. The pace is quite slow (like a japanese drama) and some things were predictable but I love the story it is trying to tell and both actors are doing a great job with theirs characters so it's a shame ratings are that low :(
It's here? I remembered the dates wrongly. Thanks for the article. I have been in a drama slump since Weightlifting fairy ended.
The preview has been a hoot.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is great, you should definitely try it, koala!
It's funny and all the actors are doing a wonderful job (also Park Hyung Shik has great chemistry with Park Bo Young), and even a bit scary in parts. After all the disappointing dramas recently, this and Rebel are my dramas for the week.
you should also watch defendant it's very good
