Romantic moment between a couple outdoors.

It’s a balance scale if you add up the ratings for two dramas to equal the ratings for at third one, and even more astonishing that the two added dramas air on free prime time networks and the highest rated drama on paid cable. Wed-Thurs is total dudsville in the prime time dramas Come and Hug Me and The Undateables … Continue reading →

Why Secretary Kim Maintains Adorable Cheeky Chemistry and High Ratings in Third Week of Airing

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2018 by ockoalaJune 20, 2018
Office romance with two characters in focus.

These days I’m happy when any drama does well in ratings just because it’s rarer and rarer, but when it’s happening to a drama I’m fond of and watching in real life the happiness is compounded. tvN already has Lawless Lawyer doing well still which remains an intense watch, but for summer time lightness and rom-com laughter it’s all about Why … Continue reading →

Couple sitting together with cotton candy.

I’m genuinely giddy with joy, rather selfishly even, that tvN webtoon adapted drama Why Secretary Kim has premiered as a hit this week. The drama airing on the cable network premiered with 5.757% ratings in episode one and episode two decreased slightly to 5.403%. It’s actually a feat in this day and age when rom-coms get low ratings and manga/webtoon … Continue reading →

Couple sitting together with cotton candy.

I feel like the production of upcoming tvN Wed-Thurs drama Why Secretary Kim really knows the goldmine it has thanks to the casting. The overflow of cute promos featuring the pretty of female lead Park Min Young and the handsome of male lead Park Seo Joon is quite obvious but I’m not complaining.

Two professionals sitting on a couch.

I probably have my hopes a little too optimistic for upcoming tvN drama Why Secretary Kim, but it’s understandable since the cable network continues to deliver solid dramas while the big three seem incapable of churning out consistent quality in any genre. Why Secretary Kim is adapted from a popular webtoon and the PD of This Life is Our First, … Continue reading →
