It’s kinda telling that the three lowest rating single episode ratings for a Big Three network K-drama are all with KBS. There may be a new champion in highest rated cable drama soon if The World of the Married continues its trajectory with the chance to surpass Sky Castle, but the other way has a new champion this week. KBS Wed-Thurs drama Welcome (Meow: The Secret Boy) recorded a single episode rating of 0.9%, the first time a primetime K-drama dropped below 1% EVER. Formerly the lowest single episode primetime drama was Lovely Horribly at 1% and before that it was Manhole with 1.4%. Welcome has leads L and Shin Ye Eun but nothing about the drama looked appealing to me, the woman adopts cat who can turn into a man and they fall in love is so bizarre because I cannot ever imagine my dog as my significant other, a pet is like a baby/child and not a could be boyfriend/girlfriend lol.

90s gen is lacking big time expect park bo gum, choi woo shik who is movie actor, do kyung soo( one of best idol actors ) when it comes to star power. If these guys can't make small projects work, how they gonna land big ones?
Truthfully no amount of star power would have saved this project. Maybe they would bring more interest to the project, but it would wane over time if the project isn’t exciting and intriguing.
This drama is more of a light piece of art where one drink coffee and converse with friends while the show plays in the background.
L was good in Miss L & ok in ALM. Who wants to watch him as a cat? Very poor choice in drama selection... I can’t get pass the second episode....
*Miss H
OMO
I'm not watching this, nor do I plan to watch it.
BUT everybody should get some recognition for there work. And I'm not referring to the actors only. It's like an iceberg. Most of the people working on a drama are under the water, not noticeable. Poor staff members. Hope that, even if the rantings are so low and therefore, the revenues will also be very low to none existing, the staff members still get paid for their hard work.
That’s a really good point. There’s so many people who get overlook for their contributions.
I really like L but it’s unfortunate he picked a boring project.
I agree with you koala. I normally give dramas chances before dropping them but even i can't get past episode 1... I mean who the hell thought this script would work?!!!
I just feel for the casts and crews, do better next time.
Sorry laura, this was meant to be a new comment not a reply to yours... Deeply sorry.
I mean, we are in 2020
They really think, a plot about a human cat etc could work on public channel? lmao
Cant believe that Myungso accepted this role
LOL you right. Poor L. Maybe he needed to pay for his electricity bills. I hope he choose a project worthy of his talents next time.
The funny thing is, this is originally a TVN production with offers out for Yook Sung-jae and Park Eun-bin. The actors dodged a bullet. What the hell was KBS2 thinking?
How interesting. Sungjae upcoming drama looks more promising, it looks like a more comedic version of hotel del Luna minus ghosts. I’m glad he turned this cat drama down.
Sign that they need Kim Eun Sook again.
I feel you, miss koala. The first time i hear the plot, it give me creepy vibe. As pet owner, to think my baby is actually group up man... ?
I know it just fantasy, but i hope that will never.
*grown -_-
Meby this drama is my cup of tea hehe i enjoyed it so much.i have to maintain my my mood after i watch serious drama like world of married ,king eternal and i fine you in my memory this drama is a cure cause it have a cute vibe✌
I agree, for me myungsoo's role suits him cause he literally like a cat and the drama is not boring its funny tho
I love this drama. My husband has a cat that act like he owns the world. This show is too funny.
Poor Acting. the FLs acting is so meh. her acting is not even pasaable. is she even an actress? i thought shes an idol. lol
As for story it' s horrible. This is so meooow and meeow. not my cup of tea. this shouldnt be a 12 episode drama. this story is for max 4 episoses only. didnt manage to finish Episode 1.
F*** you! Who do you think you are? Are you even a professional actress? You can't simply judge a k-drama like that! Such s*** people like you make me sick!
I do not get why JTBC is offering the lead actress a new romance drama, and on the Friday-Saturday slot no less. Do they want to kill the momentum from Itaewon Class and The World of the Married?
Her track record is extremely poor. Her TVN drama got stuck at 2%, and now her drama on KBS2, a free-to-air public channel, is only doing an average of 1%, a record no other drama has managed on the 10 p.m. timeslot.
Probably because she's from JYP Entertainment.
I love the story. It's so light that it removes stress. I love the acting of kim myungsoo and the other lead actors. Hope people can appreciate simple things. May your ratings shoot up.
I didn't like this drama and dropped it. All the jokes/clichés about cat fell so flat. The male lead should have been the ex-boyfriend and the cat helping their romance, the cat being a human hidding under her bed is pretty creepy. L in cat doesn't work for me.
I guess this kind of story works better in webtoon than in drama. But KBS2 did a good choice with How to Buy a Friend adaptation.
