Wow, well everyone was watching how tvN weekend drama Crash Landing With You would get in ratings due to its high profile leads, the week just started off with a true unicorn that is primed to fly higher. jTBC Mon-Tues new arrival Diary of a Prosecutor premiered on Monday to 5.042% ratings, the highest ever first episode ratings for the network. Even more impressive is that the drama was low key in promos, had a great cast but no buzzy names, and deals with the dry-ish topic of the every day working lives of South Korean prosecutors. Starring Lee Seon Kyun and Jung Ryeo Won, these two sure know how to pick dramas and basically if they give it a stamp of approval it’s clearly worthy of watching. Congrats to the cast and crew!

No buzzy names? Lee Seon Kyu was in Parasite! There is a lot of buzz around this movie.
It's Lee Seon Kyun. Is there any need to say more? Not to forget a solid actress as Jung Ryeo Won.
Koala is right! There are no buzzy names or big promotion efforts. Parasite is making a lot of noise internationally, but it's done playing in South Korea a long time ago. Besides, LSK was the least recognized cast member as far as awards go for that movie. Glad this drama started well. Now, please finish strong!
LSK is a big star. He was the ahjusshi in My Ahjusshi. He was in Coffee Prince and still remembered for that role. LSK's name alone is buzzworthy even before Parasite. Add Jung Rye Won and it's double buzzworthy. I also believe this drama is promoted well in Korea based on JTBC's instagram posts.
No buzzy name. I don't think so. Most celebrities here are worthy actors /actresses.
I think what Ms Koala implies as “buzzy” are those media playing celebs with dating rumors. This drama has solid artists who always give good performances without any personal scandals. I need to check this out coz I have no kdrama to watch currently. ?
exactly, that someone who is flirting in the media about their relationship yet won’t admit that they are dating. A
who should care if an ahjussi is dating or not... good drama does not need any media play, can't believe such low class promotion still exists.
It’s Leo Seo Kyun and more recently his role in Parasite. It’s still picking up a lot of awards locally and getting a ton of buzz internationally which Koreans will always be proud of. Personally I’ll watch him in ANYTHING just to hear that voice. He looked and sounded unbelievably in Parasite, yes I’m thirsty for this man.
Park Yeon Aeon finally has high drama rating. I'm in tears right now
It is lee seo kyun..enough said. He always delivers on his acting and is one of my favorite Korean actors.
I watched 15 min as I was in a hurry, but this drama already have me hooked. It is funny!
It's really funny, slice of life with very relatable characters who works as prosecutors. I really liked the first episode and very happy that I found a drama that could make me laugh. I thought I had to wait till January for a drama to watch.
JTBC is in a roll.
Will give this try, I hope its work for me. Cant find a good drama after hotel del luna
