A new rom-com ratings champ has formally been crowned as tvN weekend drama Crash Course in Romance ends its run with a record high 17.038% ratings. It’s also the 10th highest cable drama of all time bumping off Under the Queen’s Umbrella from the 10th spot and sitting right under Queen Cheorin in 9th. Despite fully rolling my eyes in … Continue reading →
Episode 15 of Crash Course in Romance was such a frustrating watch but absolutely necessary in order to finish this drama tomorrow and provide a complete opinion. That the ratings went up again to an astonishing 15.507% which may be the highest rom-com on cable ratings ever is equally mind boggling because at this point the drama is neither romance … Continue reading →
It’s funny how a rom-com like Crash Course in Romance is actually more impactful as an indictment of South Korea’s oppressive educational system and obsessively controlling parents participating in it. The drama hit a new ratings high of 14.296% and can probably break 15% or more next week with the finale but it’s not going to be one of those … Continue reading →
Its exceptionally hard to sustain a good drama plot and I was merely hoping Crash Course in Romance could do it since it’s ratings were so incredible I just wanted a rom-com to be good til the very end. Alas the final stretch feels like this drama’s undoing much like others before it, the romance of the OTP now gotten … Continue reading →
It’s wild I’m talking about a genuinely well-written likeable rom-com like Crash Course on Romance maybe jumping the shark but I’m really worried it might due to a new and rather last minute subplot being introduced in episode 12. So the whole “who is the killer” story has been sprinkled through this drama well enough, not my fave since this … Continue reading →
The audience love for Crash Course in Romance continues and the more I watch the more the things I love about it outweigh the few that I don’t. There was emotional breakthroughs for both leads, candid conversations, and even a drunken kiss that felt so sweetly orchestrated, this rom-com is doing wonders for reminding viewers that not all K-drama romance … Continue reading →
Now midway through airing, tvN weekend rom-com Crash Course on Romance is a winner through and through. It’s just a good drama, but from a long time K-drama viewer I think the drama is made better thanks to Jung Kyung Ho‘s sparkling performance as the beta male lead with boatloads of emotional hangups but also could be a better “romance” … Continue reading →
If I haven’t watched Jung Kyung Ho stretch his acting (and genre) chops so much in his nearly two decade long career I would absolutely believe that he is always acting as himself, the perfect beta male lead. It started with Smile, You as his breakout drama and has continued off and on until now it’s back in the spotlight … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching tvN weekend drama Crash Course in Romance since it premiered three weeks ago hence I’ve been keeping up with its increasing ratings and online buzz. But an earlier by one week premiered jTBC weekend drama Agency has also been garnering great reviews and delivering the rising ratings and this Sunday both dramas hit the same milestone at … Continue reading →
Holy wow am I surprised upon surprised, and in a great way. After the red hot December 2022 in K-drama land with first Reborn Rich and then The Glory, it’s fantastic to see the momentum carry into the new year and January 2023 has the first hit already. tvN Sat-Sun drama Crash Course on Love is only in the third … Continue reading →
Well this is a great surprise and a nod for underdogs that seem totally random on paper. New tvN Sat-Sun rom-com Crash Course in Romance (One Shot Scandal) is rocketing up in ratings in the second week of airing, from the premiere of 4% it’s now reached 7.559% in episode 4. The pairing of Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung … Continue reading →
With the ending of Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow the tvN Sat-Sun time slot is going for a light hearted modern rom-com to change up the pace. Taking over is Crash Course in Romance which I legit just forgot about as the casting was perplexing to me from the onset. Starring Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho, she’s … Continue reading →
