Spring Night, which became the first batter to change the organization, showed a sluggish early appearance, creating anxiety. However, Han Ji-min, Jung Hae-in's melodrama, which added a realistic development to the breathing of the melodrama, led the rise.
In the MBC drama Spring Night, which ended on the 11th, Yoo Ji-Ho (Jeong Hae-in) and Lee Jung-in (Han Ji-min) promised to marry in the face of the interference around them and made a fruitful love. It was a tight happy ending that even got the permission of the opposing parents.
Spring Night was the first broadcast since MBC attempted to organize a drama at 9 pm on weekdays. Ahn Pan-seok PD, Jung Hae-in and Han Ji-min were expected to meet, but it was unclear how viewers would accept the changed time zone.
The start was unsettling: the first episode received a below-expected report card with a 3.8% audience rating, and even the fifth episode, it had a 4 percent audience rating. There was a negative reaction that the attempt to change the organization failed.
However, Ahn Pan-seok PD's detailed performance and Han Ji-min, Jung Hae-in's stable performance, completed the melodramatic sensibility, causing word-of-mouth, leading to a rebound in ratings. In the last episode, it recorded 9.5%, more than twice as high as the first time, and it achieved results.
Spring Night, which has achieved such a solid completion, drew the evaluation that content was the key factor, not time, in the drama's box office.
The advantage of Spring Night is that development is not an obvious melodrama that can be guessed. Spring Night, which tells the story of Lee Jung-in, who even thought about getting married to Kwon Ki-seok (Kim Jun-han), falling in love with his unmarried wife Yoo Ji-Ho, seemed like a romance that simply depicted a triangle relationship at first. There was also a reaction that Lee Jung-in's behavior, which lost his mind to Yoo Ji-Ho while he had a boyfriend, did not understand.
However, Ahn PD delicately captured the subtle emotional changes of the characters and increased their persuasiveness. In particular, the reality-reflective scenes, such as Kwon Ki-seok's betrayal of Lee Jung-in and his obsession with the world, have raised the reality, and the process of Lee Jung-in's change of mind has naturally convinced him.
The parents watching Lee Jung-in and Yoo Ji-Ho were also realistic. Rather than wanting the true happiness of their children, they showed their snobbishness to fill their greed with marriage, angering viewers, and making them immerse themselves in realistic reactions that are likely to be around, not just evil to deepen conflicts.
Han Ji-min, who played the process of winning love over difficulties, and Jeong Hae-in's chemistry were also the reasons for the favorable reception, but Ahn PD's delicate performance, which gave a sense of reality to the world surrounding them, contributed to improving perfection.
With the performance of Spring Night, the 9 o'clock formation started steadily. It is noteworthy whether the follow-up work that took over this trend will increase the effect of new attempts. The sequel to Spring Night is Na Hae-ryung, a new employee. This is the story of the first problematic first lady () Na Hae-ryung of Joseon and the anti-war Prince Irim of Motae Solo, and Shin Se Kyung and Cha Eun Woo came out as the main characters.
