jTBC Officially Crowned Most Successful Network in 2022 Thanks All to Reborn Rich
It’s a tad late now in March to reflect back on last year 2022 but for the South Korean cable and major channels still trying to survive and succeed it’s crucial to note who did well, or not, and why. So after 2022 was all said and done, the biggest winner is jTBC thanks solely late comer Reborn Rich, which premiered in November and ended just a month later in December due to primarily airing 3 episodes a week. The drama was a ratings and buzz juggernaut coming in second in all time highest cable ratings right behind The World of the Married but for the Seoul ratings it did surpass 30% in the final episode for that demographic. It’s just so unfortunate that the ending didn’t work for most people and has now sucked the wind out of its longevity sails.
Thankfully they managed to learn their lesson from the screwed up Snowdrop, and stick to history accuracy and better actors.
I actually liked the ending. But then, I do like things to end on a happy note. There’s nothing worse than a great programme being ruined by your favourite hero being killed. I also am aware that he was lilled off in the webtoon, but this is what artistic license is all about. Well do jTBC for not following the norm.
