It is now an old saying that colorful casting guarantees the topic. Actors who boast hundreds of millions of Ones are suffering from humiliation in succession.
From last year to this year, the Drama system was more intense than ever. When the recession hit the theater with Covid19, the actors started to turn their attention to Drama, and actors such as Hwang Jung-min, Kwon Sang-woo, and Jung Woo-sung, who were easily seen in movies,
The same was true for the fourth quarter of this year. MBC 'Black Sun' of Nam Gung Min, JTBC 'Human Disqualification' of Jeon Do Yeon, JTBC 'Gu Kyung Lee' of Lee Yeong-ae, JTBC 'Resembling You' of Ko Hyun Jung and Shin Hyun Bin, TVN 'Jirisan' of Jun Ji-hyun, SBS 'Now, I'm breaking up' One work started its first broadcast at the same time and played a contest. As the face is gorgeous, these works would have been cast for the broadcaster, but the expectation was missed One way.
First, 'Black Sun' boasts a huge scale from the beginning, as it proves that it invested 15 billion One, but as the second half of the year, the Feeling line and Kahaani collapsed, and 8.8% (Nilson Korea National Furniture Standard) TV viewer ratings. Last time TV viewer ratings were 2.4% and 3.2%.
The situation is even worse for 'Jirisan' and 'Now, I'm breaking up'. Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo, who are receiving the best treatment in the industry, are appearing, but they are not good in terms of TV viewer ratings as well as OTT topicality.
According to the broadcasting industry, the pay for Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo is 200 million One per episode. Nevertheless, 'Jirisan' is ranked 5th overall by TVN 'Essa and Joey' and 'Happyness' based on the ranking of popular TV programs. 'Now, I am breaking up' is MBC 'Red End of Clothes Retail' and KBS2 'Gentleman and Girl' I stay in sixth place. TV viewer ratings are still at 7 to 8 percent, but this is also on the decline. 'Now, I'm breaking up' has already entered the 6% range, and 'Jirisan' is also at stake.
However, the responsibility of the slump in Drama is not only for the actor. Both works are pointed out as the biggest problem. First, 'Jirisan' disappointed viewers with excessive PPL and sloppy CG, and 'Now, I am breaking up' is being ignored by viewers due to the obvious Kahaani. It is now an old saying to have a topic of interest by casting alOne. Now that viewers have become more interested through various platforms, the tricks are no longer working.
