Yayyy, we have new dramas! Also, oh no, how are we going to watch everything? With the addition of these dramas, the Wednesday-Thursday slot is now filled with quite a lot of variety — the fluffy rom-com Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, the slick crime drama Private Lives, and the fantasy drama Tale of the Nine Tailed. And though I enjoyed all three premieres, I think the ratings (low for DDSSLLS and high for Nine Tailed) make sense.
Cable is just on a roll, with Record of Youth nearing double digits. On the other side, the main broadcasters are pretty much struggling. Dramas Zombie Detective and When I Was the Most Beautiful seem to be doing the best they can, but they’re still hovering around 3 percent. Brahms and Alice are some of the highest performing of these shows, around 5 percent and 8 percent respectively. Both will be ending soon, which might bring in more viewers.
