Judge v. Judge Retains Slight Lead Against New Premieres Black Knight and I am Not a Robot

View Comments

• Drama ratings are pretty neck-to-neck these days with no clear winners.

• Just watched 'I am Not a Robot' and despite its low rating, its surprisngly quite good.

  I think young actress Chae Soo Bin, to my surprise, is not bad.

  Let's see how next week episodes go...

• I am looking forward with expectation as well as apprehension to this weekend as Black is coming to an end and no other show is filling the vacuum. But Black Knight, at lease the first episode, is entertaining and intriguing especially in the fantasy part. The music is the best, with all the elements of first-wave Hallyu sentimentality. With this writer, the plot could be everywhere, but the show is at least delivering in the fantasy part which has been regrettably under-represented in Black.

• haven't watched any of these yet lol

• Surprised at I'm not a robot ratings because it's YSH. Even for a premiere episode it's very low. Hospital ship, despite the fact that it started administ the strike had a good start. Even Ruler, with that terrible script pulled in great numbers.

  • Might have something to do with the time slot being empty for 4 weeks after Hospital Ship, at least the actual broadcast of HS was never postponed/interrupted.

    It went empty so long, it's quite possible very few people realised there was a new drama at all. That's the danger of such a long postponement.

• It's hard to judge with only one episode. But at least, the 3 dramas are very different and people can choose which style they want.

• Rom-coms are not doing well, not for a long time.

  • I have to agree - it seems like major networks are moving more toward career-focused dramas like medical, legal, political, etc. with romance being more of a side story. They are moving toward the trend that Japanese dramas have embraced were there are only a few romances and more career type of dramas. This is a shame because the whole reason I transitioned from Jdramas to Kdramas is because of the heavy romance in the story lines. But now I find myself moving to more Cdramas for romance dramas.

• I really enjoyed I am not a Robot. It's gonna be light and fun, I think! Skimmed through Black Knight...but it was enough to make me want to go back and watch the entire episode. Lots of details.

  • remember somebody did say that both drama leads dont have low rating drama, and that they are the best in sk.,i guess its not true anymore in terms of rating. even if it will go up the 1st epi rating will not change.

    • wrong thread lol

• Wow now this is interesting. Never looked forward to ratings in my life, only because of the disrespect Yeon Woon Jin got from some few fans. I wonder what their excuse would be now? Somebody even called him a nobody like seriouslly! I get he doesn't have the star power like our other oppas but he is a fine actor and I find him actractive. I didn't watch any of these yet so can't really comment on acting and script, I was just surprised by the ratings

• It is a little early to tell if they are good. But I will watch on to find out.

  Robot: Fun and I had a couple of good laughs. The leads are likeable and the premise straightforward. The female lead isn’t as bad as the online comments.

  Black Knight: I watched mostly in confusion- I have so many questions. I knew going in that this had a supernatural theme. Other than the tailor who was very obviously something, the other lady pining by the moonlight and Sun Ho just seemed to be standing around looking good. Most of the first ep was about the female lead good at flinging her nice hair about. Maybe a few more eps would explain the succession of scenes I found a trifle odd.
