One of the things that has recently shocked everyone involved in the TV series is the ratings showdown of the "Day 9" drama. The premiere of "Metropolitan Police Department Biology Department" (Fuji TV) reached 8.9%, which closely followed the 9.8% rating of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" (TBS TV). In the "Day 9" slot, Fuji TV often failed miserably to TBS TV, and why is the ratings of this premiere so close.
Fuji TV's Sunday 9:00 p.m. series (hereinafter referred to as Fuji Day 9) has been in a bitter battle since April last year, losing five consecutive consecutive losses in the ratings showdown with TBS TV's Sunday Theater, and the difference of three times the ratings difference is a matter of course.
The Sunday Theater has a history of more than 60 years, and in recent years, it has released popular tv dramas such as "Naoki Hanzawa", "The Emperor's Cook", "Shimomachi Rocket", and "99.9 Criminal Lawyer", and is Japan's premier private TV drama series. In the industry, there are often comments such as "sure enough" and "that can't be won".
In May this year, some sports news reported that "Fuji Day 9 is sure to usher in the end", if this is the case, then "Fuji Day 9's final work "Metropolitan Police Department of Biology" can be shamed" has become the focus of future attention.
What kind of spark will be sparked between Fuji Day 9, which has no chance of winning, and the TBS Sunday Theater at the top of the King's Landing private TV series.
The success of High Handguard sparked a healing craze
The premiere rating of "Metropolitan Police Department Biology Department" was 8.9%, completely surpassing the previous works, "Our House" 4.8%, "Hope ~ New Recruits with Zero Expectations~", "Career ~ Unconventional Police Commissioner~" 7.9%, "Big Poor" 7.7%, "Miss Sakurako Buried Corpse" 6.9%.
The main reason for this is that this game is a healing drama with a complete focus on animals. Moreover, the cute Hashimoto Kana and Watanabe Takuro in the play cooperate again and again to solve the incident one by one, and both children and adults can enjoy it, so this time it is really a film and television work with a wide audience.
This is reminiscent of the 2011 TV series "The Rules of the Tall Golmer". Many people should remember that the Fuji Day 9 TV series also aired between October 2010 and March 2013. But at that time, he and TBS lost 1-9 in the ratings showdown at the Sunday Theater. During this time, what makes the duel fall into a parity is the three dramas of "The Rules of the High Golm", "The Day Known as the Morning Sea", and "Beautiful Rain", all of which are dramas with healing colors.
The only thing that can compete with the Sunday Theater of the King of Private TV Dramas is the healing TV series that can bring warmth to the audience. Dancing in cartoon character costumes at the end of the film, this design gives people a lively and intimate feeling, and the cast and crew can finally feel the successful experience of the past after watching the results of this time.
A Sunday theater that is troubled by an unspeakable Korean drama remake
On the other hand, the summer Japanese drama selected by the King's Sunday Theater is a remake of a Korean-style love story. The works that have always been popular are either plays about "stories of hot-blooded boys" or plays about "stories between men and women and between mother and child who stir love and hate".
Originally, the love story was aimed at a fixed range of audiences, not to mention that the drama "Sorry, I Love You" contains life and death, underworld, shooting, orphanage, heart disease, brain damage, life soon to die and other content, this kind of Korean drama atmosphere of non-daily settings can be seen everywhere. This style makes people who like it and those who don't like it clearly divided into two teams, especially the male audience who has been supporting the Sunday theater in the past, this time saying that it is very difficult, "This time it is better to watch "Metropolitan Police Department biology department", similar remarks gradually spread.
Interestingly, the two characters in Metropolitan Police Biology Yuzo Sudo (Watanabe Takuro) and Okazaki Ryo (Nagase Tomoya Nagase) in "Sorry, I Love You" both experienced a head shot. Although the protagonist has the same setting, the former is light and funny, and the latter is serious and tense, presenting two completely opposite pictures, which is also a symbol of the atmosphere of the respective themes of the work.
Fuji Day 9, which used to be a reunion theme, was once good at it
Finally, Fuji Day's 9 programs from October 1979 to March 1990 were "Kao Celebrity Theater", and "Kao Family Sp" was broadcast from April 1990 to September 1996. Both are similar to "The Wanderings of the Naked General", not just a TV series, but a weekly update with performances such as Japanese cross-talk manga or rakugo, and the theme of "works containing warm laughter and family reunion atmosphere" is consistent.
Later, Fuji Day 9 played "Discover! There are big dictionaries, mentore g, エチカの鏡 and other programs that later became serials, and later shows such as "あすなろラボ", "Full Force Classroom", "wonderful life", "オモモクリ", "Sunday familia" and other programs, and then returned to the series we see now, Fuji Day 9 has experienced this series of changes in history. The only shows we've seen since Kao Celebrity Theater that focus on laughter are "Inspector Of Charge.", "Inspector Of Charge.", "Inspector of Kao Celebrity Theater.""
After the fall, no matter what kind of show is broadcast, it may be accompanied by "Down with the Sunday Theater!" The belief returns to the original point that originally brought the audience "a family reunion laughs", in this sense, should we also pay more attention to the laughter brought about by the healing of the "Metropolitan Police Department of Biology".
