New Wed-Thurs Dramas Premieres with Angel’s Last Mission: Love and Spring Night Both Weak on Arrival

The Wed-Thurs prime time drama slot continue to be so far off the heyday of ratings it’s not even entertaining anymore to keep track of the abysmal numbers. There were two dramas that premiered the same week which usually yields an interest in which won the night but here’s it’s like watching two people weakly slapfight. KBS fantasy drama Angel’s Last Mission: Love (Dan, Only Love) came out on top with a measly 7.3% in episode 1 and 7.7% in episode. It lead the night over the other newcomer Spring Night at 3.9%, 6.0% for episodes 1, 2 and the next night 3.6%. 5.6% for episodes 3, 4. Both outclassed the SBS remake of Absolute Boyfriend bring in absolutely dreadful averages of 2.5% through 6 episodes now. I haven’t watched Angel yet but Spring Night is just dullsville from color to character personalities to story line. It has the PD Ahn aura with nothing to hook a viewer. If Angel turns out worth watching that’ll be a blessing otherwise it’s a wash for the time slot in the next two months.

  • I’m liking the Spring Night. It’s slowness and “boring” look for some. It makes me giddy and just after the two episodes, I’m excited for the next. <3

    • I love the slowness of Spring Night as well and I'm glad I decided to ignore biased opinions and give it a try. The dialogues, music and scenes are all tastefully done. I can already feel the chemistry between the leads and it feels organic. The dad is annoying and I don't want him to ruin things.

  • Angels last Mission and Absolute Boyfriend are both good shows on their own. Angels Last Mission, Shin Hye Sun is killing it in her role, glad that it is doing well. I slightly prefer that one. Spring Night will have to start.

  • I must be a boring person cause I prefer spring night, I must say I like the PD's aura, I like his calm and realistic cinematography, but what I don't like is his overuse of songs(not incidental). I hope this time the writing is good, at least until now it is.

    But I'm glad that Angel's last mission is winning (not for much, though) because I love ShinHyeSun, that girl can act. Sad that I didn't like the story in the first episode and I think the male lead needs more training, it's not bad, but he's lacking.

    • Me too I must be boring as well because Spring Night hooked me from the opening scene itself. Angel is also very good so I'm lucky to have 2 very good dramas to enjoy on Wed-Thurs which is far from being a wash out.

  • I think I will like the banter between the cute angel and the cold princess, but I'm not interested in the plot with the fondation, the awful aunt, etc.

    I loved the One Spring Night's episodes. The dialogues felt so real. I couldn't help myself to smile watching Ha Ji Min and Jung Hae In's scenes :)

    Absolute Boyfriend is funny too. Yeo Jin Goo as a robot works fine. But I don't like robot-human love story...

  • I am enjoying Absolute Boyfriend so far. The acting is ok with some funny moments. Just curious how the story will differ from the original anime because its ending won’t be pleasant... I may check out the Angel’s last mission but not Spring Night coz it sounds like a snooze fest especially I don’t like JHI. Is PD Ahn using old cringey songs again? Zzzzzzz.....

    • Spring Night is honestly very good not a snooze fest at all. Give it a try because everyone is very refreshingly honest and straightforward. I'm surprised by how much I liked it because I hated all his previous works.

  • I think you got the wrong numbers for Angel's Last Mission Love. The ratings was ep 1&2 7.3 & 9.2 ep 3&4 6.6 & 8.6

  • I'm watching Angel for Shin Hye Sun and is enjoying it so far. She's really good. L's acting isn't quite at her level yet but he isn't too bad either, ok at least he's cute lol! I don't like the bad aunt plot too but I will watch it for the cute angel and cold girl, they have got some chemistry that I can feel.

    Not watching One Spring Night because I don't like JHI. Not watching Absolute Boyfriend because I'm sick of robot story. Solely my personal preference.

  • It’s really just the sign of the times. TV ratings shouldn’t be a big deal anymore. Dramas are available on a lot of streaming sites and I guess many prefer binge watching these days.

    • They will not adjust der timeslot if it doesnt matter, sad to say still is,especially the primetime, those are the expensive timeslot for ads, and they badly need it.
