All but 'City' became JTBC's painful fingers. 'Snow strengthening' is caught up in the controversy of history distribution, 'The One and Only' TV viewer ratings fall to 0%, and JTBC's head hurts.
According to Nielsen Korea, a TV viewer rating research company on the 29th, JTBC's monthly Drama 'The One and Only' (playplayed by Moon Jung-min and director Oh Hyun-jong) recorded 0.6% of TV viewer ratings based on nationwide pay-TV households.
This is 0.7% p lower than the 1.3% recorded by the last broadcast, and it is only half of the 2.4% recorded by the first broadcast. On the other hand, KBS2 'I think about the flower when it is broadcasted on the same day' and SBS 'We are that year' recorded 7.6% and 4.3% respectively, renewing their own top TV viewer ratings.
Especially, 'The One and Only' was a work that collected topics with the appearance of Ahn Eun-jin, 'OK Photon', and 'Red Velvet Joy', who became the mainstream of the 'sweet doctor life' series.
The One and Only is not the only work that is rotting. JTBC's Saturday Drama 'Snowdrop' (played by Yoo Hyun-mi and directed by Cho Hyun-tak, hereinafter 'Snowdrop') has been on the rise since March due to the controversy over history distribution. Unlike the explanation of the production team, "Please judge the broadcast directly," the criticism is more intense after 1-2 times.
The consent of the petition for the suspension of the "Snow Strengthening" broadcast, which started on the 20th, exceeded 350,000 on the day, and the consent of the JTBC petition for the closure exceeded 40,000. An application for a provisional injunction against the screening of "Snow Strengthening" has already been submitted to the court.
In the ongoing controversy, JTBC has made three or five broadcasts for three consecutive days, but the audience's cause has not faded. Rather, TV viewer ratings have proved that they have not regained viewers' trust, dropping to an average of 2.1%, lower than recorded one or two times.
All of JTBC’s Dramas, except “City of the Duke,” are now in a difficult time. In fact, JTBC’s Drama has long been sluggish. There is no work that can be called the representative work after the 'World of Couples' which lasted in May. Hwang Jung-min, Kim Myung-min, Han So-hee, Jeon Do-yeon, Ryu Joon-yeol, Lee Young-ae, Ko Hyun-jung and Shin Hyun-bin were all out.
MBC, which had suffered from sluggishness, succeeded in regaining its vitality with the "red end of the sleeve of the clothes." JTBC is paying attention to how it can solve the slump that lasted more than a year.
