New Sat-Sun K-drama Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born with Kim Tae Ri Nearly Doubles in Ratings by Episode 8 Breaking 8%

Wow, consider me surprised by how quickly the new tvN weekend drama is doing well. Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born premiered on Saturday with 4.844% ratings and has nearly doubled the next day with episode 2 bringing in 8.216%. This is incredible and kudos to Kim Tae Ri for once again delivering on both quality and ratings and showing her leading lady chops yet again in a super strong cast including Ra Mi Ran, Shin Ye Eun, Jung Eun Chae, and Kim Yoon Hye. For ratings comparison, the biggest hit this year is still Queen of Tears which premiered with a slighter higher 5.853% and its episode 2 got a similar rating of 8.660%. This will make for an additional fun watch of Jeongnyeon to see if it’s mainstream ratings cred keeps going up and up.

  • She has become the top tv actress now considering how movies r fairing badly. Whereas kin go eun is now smashing movies with biggest hit. Two top actresses of era. Idols like wooozie r flopping with their d grade roles 🤣🤣

      • "Woozie" is Suzy lol. I'm guessing that commenter is the same LMH-obsessed commenter who always comes out of the woodwork whenever there's an article about Lee Min Ho or Suzy or the achievements of the two actresses she like, Kim Tae Ri and Kim Go Eun. The comment is not "flying out of nowhere" lmao, that commenter has long been bitter towards Suzy for dating her oppar Lee Min Ho and is always commenting negative things about Suzy, calling her "woozie" and "flowerpot". Meanwhile, Suzy already has a Baeksang Best Actress nomination and her oppar still none LMAO

      • @uh huh my oppar has big movie drama.lined up. Whereas woozie lastest movie bombed. Her dramas r flopping. She can never match his star power. She is a flowerpot who would have no career in next decade because she is decoration used for props. That is truth. Cope with this. Woozie stays flop has been

      • Uh uh marie u r obsessed with me more than I m with ur flop fave. How many flops she has given. She won't even have career. She is no more a cr queen as that title belong to blackpink members . Where is woozie..flopping with her lastest mega flop. A showpiece can't carry a project on her onw

    • They are deffo the top 2 actresses in that age bracket. PEB and PBY a relatively distant second imo.

      And echoing all the others here. Who in the world is Woozie? Suzy?! Doubt it as Suzy is the last person flopping rn.

  • The ratings are crazy impressive. I haven’t seen it yet and it’s not for the lack of trying as I was on a business trip. I’ll be watching it asap. KTR is the definition of a true queen! She hasn’t faltered in a kdrama yet and I don’t expect her to do so now either.

  • I was honestly rather bored with EP1 but EP2 was so much better. I find that usually the case with all KTR dramas. I almost dropped 2521 and Mr Sunshine before persevering. I like KTR, but I’m more interested in all the other ladies. Loving RMR as usual and can’t wait to see with SYE can do in this drama with MSR.

  • The ratings doubling is awesome. It's lovely to see a quality product receiving the appreciation it deserves. Performances are stellar and it's obvious a lot of love and effort has gone into every aspect of the drama.

    KTR's drama track record is pretty much impeccable (as is her film record with the unfortunate exception of Alienoid which isn't her fault). I love how KTR the top actress around and we know and hear almost nothing about her except for her work. It feels like she has that classic actress mystique in an era where so many celebs overexpose everything about themselves or act a fool online to be ~relatable~
