The lineup of "Chimera" is quite strong, in addition to Park Hae-so, there are also So-hyun who returned to the South Korean film and television circle after 6 years, who has starred in "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", "Monsters and the Crimes of Greeney Dewad", and Lee Hee-joon, known as the "god of acting", and Lee Hee-joon, who is known as the "god of acting", but looking at the ratings data, it is surprised to see the first episode of "Chimera" broadcast on the evening of the 30th, with a rating of only 0.943%, which can be said to have suffered a tragic Waterloo.

Observing the audience's evaluation of the first episode of "Chimera", most of them are positive reviews, generally believing that the story is compact, exciting, and quite high, and as for the reasons for the low ratings, many people pointed out that it was caused by the "poor publicity" of the TV station, and South Korean netizens said that they "did not know that there was this TV series at all", "There was no promotion at all", "It was starring Park Hae-so, and the news was too little", "When did OCN start filming again...".
"Chimera" is a production of OCN TV station that has produced "Save Me", "38 Division Mobile Team", "Tunnel", "Martian Life", "Guest" and other thriller suspense dramas, and the production and broadcast of "Chimera" is a new work launched after 5 months after the end of "Black Hole", but unexpectedly wrote an ultra-low rating, which made the outside world feel quite a pity.
