After some of our shows wrapped up, the weekly schedule really thinned out. Perhaps it’s feeling empty because music drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol was supposed to premiere a while back (and had to be pushed due to COVID-19 precautions). Instead, we got romance drama Record of Youth first. And the drama is already performing incredibly well, garnering close to 7 percent. The power of the underdog story? Or the power of the two leads Park Bo-gum and Park So-dam?
Most shows have fallen into their own niches, Do You Like Brahms and When I Was the Most Beautiful staying around 5 percent and 4 percent respectively. I did notice, however, that time-travel drama Alice went down a bit, from 8.7 and 10.6 percent last week to 8.1 and 9.9 percent this week. Then, there was Forest of Secrets, still bringing in high numbers. The drama initially premiered to 7 percent, went down and cruised around 6 percent, and now it’s climbing right back up.
