This weekend showed that the time slot remains strong for K-dramas, it’s like the weekday viewers all left but some went over to the weekend while the traditional weekend viewers are still there. The biggest news remains jTBC drama Doctor Cha which hit a new high of 16.181% in this Sunday’s episode 8. It’s definitely prime to break 20% and who knows what else with another 8 episodes remaining. Newly arrived tvN drama Tale of Gumiho: 1938 started with 6.463% and rose in the next episode to 7.129%, a good sign for sure and splitting the original drama OTP apart but in a fantasy way lets the story go in new directions which not destroying the core romance for fans. While SBS Fri-Sat drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 premiered about 12% it’s basically hovering around since then and the most recent episode 4 got 12.3%, with reviews that it feels stale and not fresh.

romantic dr 3 is amazingg ugh. probably the best korean medical drama ive seen
During 15 years ER was about the same but i still to watch it ,it’s the same about DR romantic, it’s like to reunite with a family . Dr Cha is a mix of déjà vu but watching a woman coming to her senses and witness the ” perfect double life “of her husband collapse , it’s hilarious . Kim Byung Hul is perfect and the best thing of the show .
He really is!!! His acting is superb. Expressions amazing!
Koala, would you like to perhaps talk a bit about Netflix investing $2.5 billion on Korean contents because of the huge success of the Glory?
Calm down. They also mentioned squid game and physical 100. Lol.

Would love to watch Dr Romantic but I can’t stand Lee Seung Kyung acting
Me too
She looks the same in every drama the last 3 years. Whats worse is that I just completed Call it Love (I have great affection for Kim Young Kwang) and cannot believe she just walked right off that drama into the DR3 set looking exactly the same in both dramas and despite a storyline time lapse of 3 years from DRS2 also. She needs to change up a bit. I miss her from her cheese in the trap and weightlifting fairy kim bok ju days. At least she tries different things. She just kinda stopped evolving as an actress eversince …
This is exactly how I feel about her!
I enjoyed Kim BokJoo so much but her acting just gone nowhere. She stops evolving as an actress like you said
what’s wrong with her acting? she is really good in call it love and very different with her roles compare to dr romantic 3. In dr romantic 3 she smile alot and has that vulnerability when it comes to his dad. meanwhile she has that fierce and tsundere vibes when it comes to Woo Joo in call it love, she actually rarely smile, her char is like seo woojin in dr romantic 2 and she nail it.
Her acting is very fine. She actually evolved so much compare to Cheese In the trap and Weightlifting kim bokjo days when she was very much less sincere whats with her too much aegyo and OTT acting it hidden her sincere acting..
Would like to watch Dr. Romantic and Gumiho 1938 on Netflix or Viu coz that’s what I am subscribed to. Too expensive to subscribe to too many channels. Won’t be able to do anymore work if I do that.
I am really enjoying Dr Romantic 3. As one of the other users said there is something very familiar and comforting watching it. Also loving the chemistry btw LSK and AHS!
