Can "10 Million Actors" Hwang Jung-min and Temporary Wan save jtbc from the viewership swamp?
Can tens of millions of actors Huang Zhengmin and Ren Shiquan save the jtbc ratings stuck in the mire?
Jtbc captured both viewership and buzz earlier this year, from "Itaewon Klats", starring Park Seo-joon and Kim Da-mi, to "The Couple's World,"Starring Kim Hee-ae and Park Hae-jun." "The Couple's World" recorded a peak viewership of 28.4%, breaking jtbc's highest viewership ever, and last year's "Sky Castle" and "Snowy Snow crab" gave birth to a series of life stories. However, this momentum was short-lived. Viewership, which has been on the decline since the middle of this year, has recently reached its lowest level.
At the beginning of this year, jtbc captured the ratings and topicality through "Itaewon Class" starring Park Su-joon and Kim Do-mi, and "The World of Couples" starring Kim Ai-joon and Park Hae-joon. "The World of Couples" reached a highest rating of 28.4%, recording the highest ratings of JTBC in history, following last year's "Castle in the Sky" and "Dazzling" to give birth to life works again. But the momentum didn't go very far. Since the middle of this year, the ratings have gradually shown a downward trend, and recently even the lowest value has emerged.
The tree drama "Private Life" and the gold-toned drama "Number of Cases" recently ended with a viewership of 1%. The number of cases did not go out of the 1% throughout the broadcast, and "private life" continued to decline, with 2.5% of the first time with the highest viewership.
Recently, mizuki drama "Private Life" and Jintu drama "Number of Circumstances" ended with a rating of 1%. The ratings of "Number of Circumstances" have not been able to get rid of the ratings of about 1% when it was broadcast, and the ratings of the first episode of "Private Life" were the highest ratings of the show at 2.5%, and have been showing a downward trend since then.
In particular, the currently broadcast hwayol drama "Live On" gained 0.4% in the second episode, humiliating the lowest viewership of any jtbc drama of all time. It is even more regrettable that all three dramas were actors with less starring experience.
In particular, the Tuesday drama "Survival Live" that is now playing has a rating of only 0.4%, which is the shame of the lowest rating in the history of the JTBC TV series. The new TV series starring actors with little experience is even more regrettable from this point of view.
In the second half of the year, actors with guaranteed acting power appeared as jtbc expectations and attracted attention.
In such a situation, the veteran actor with guaranteed acting skills appeared as the main actor in the second half of the jtbc, attracting people's attention.
The new gold-toned drama "Hershey", which airs at 11:00 p.m. on November 11, is a two-sided growth period for "surviving" interns, and a work featuring the life of a paycheck journalist, who has more days to catch a job than Penn University.
The new golden earth drama "Hush", which premiered on December 11, tells the story of the growth of journalists who have more days of holding billiard clubs than they have with pens, and "survival-type" interns who think rice is more powerful than pens. It is a work depicting the life of working-class journalists who support their families.
In particular, "Hershey" is Hwang Jung-min's return to drama for the first time in eight years. Hwang Jeong-min played Han Jun-hyuk, a journalist in his 12th year. He is a person who fits the turning point of a journalist's life in the wake of a decisive event while "fishing for the title" with a passion that has cooled down, and he expects a vivid life period unique to Hwang Jeong-min.
What needs special attention is that "Hush> is Huang Zhengmin's return to TV drama after 8 years, which has attracted a lot of attention. Wong Jun-min plays Han Jun-hyuk, a 12-year-old journalist. The enthusiasm has cooled, relying on the "topic fishing" on the way to eat, with the decisive event as an opportunity, he ushered in a turning point in his life. Huang Zhengmin's unique life acting skills are expected.
Hwang jeong-min has played mostly in movies. The drama is the first since "Just Looking" (2009) and "Korean Peninsula" (2012). He became a 10 million-year-old actor in films such as "International Market" (2014) and "Veteran" (2015), and he emerged as a leading role in "Unjust Trade," "The New World," "Gokseong," and "Just Save From Evil." In addition, Lim Yoon-ah, who caught both acclaim and entertainment in the movie "Exit" (2019), which mobilized 9.4 million people in the audience, is more interested in breathing together.
Huang Zhengmin was mainly active in the film industry during this time. After "That Fool 2009" and "Korean Peninsula 2012", he appeared in a TV series for the first time. He became a 10 million actor with the films "International Market" (2014) and "Old Hand" (2015), and gave birth to his own unique roles in "Improper Trading", "New World", "Crying" and "Save Me from Evil", becoming a high-grossing actor.
"Run-On" airs first at 9:00 p.m. on The 16th. It was the first runner-up in the tree drama, which was brought forward to 9:00 p.m. after the reorganization of jtbc, starring Temporary Wan and Shin Se-kyung.
"Run on" premiered at 9 a.m. on December 16. After the reform of JTBC, Mizuki Drama was broadcast to 9 o'clock in advance, which was the first work after changing the broadcast time, starring Ren Shiquan and Shin Shijing.
He made his debut as a group empire children and began acting in the drama "The Moon With The Sun" (2012). He has since become a 10 million-year-old actor in the film "Defense Attorney" (2013). Through the dramas "Unborn" and "It's Hell of Others," he also made a strong performance.
Ren shi made his debut as the idol group Sons of empire and began acting through the TV series "The Moon Embracing the Sun". Later, he became a million actors through the film "The Defender" (2013). Through the TV series "Unborn" and "Others are Hell", he proved his solid acting skills.
Shin Se-kyung also appeared in the 2004 drama "Land", the movie "The Little Bride", and slowly built up filmography from the age of 15, and since then, he has gained popularity for his dramas "High Kick Through the Roof," "Deep-Rooted Tree," and "Narsha the Six Dragons". In particular, the two of them have attracted attention since before the broadcast, with their visuals and the unusual setting of marathoners and translators, so it is noted that they will be able to rebound on the unfortunate viewership of their predecessors.
Shin Shijing starred in the 2004 TV series "Land" and the movie "My Little Bride", and slowly accumulated a catalog of works from the age of 15, and then gained popularity through the TV series "High Kick Through the Roof", "Tree Roots Deep" and "Six Dragons Flying Sky", and his acting skills were well received. Especially in the tv series before the broadcast of the two good men and women image, marathon runner and translator such a unique setting, attracted people's attention. Whether it can pull back the regrettable ratings is remarkable.
