Drama viewership ratings for the week of Oct. 31-Nov. 6, 2016
by HeadsNo2
This was a good finale week for Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, since the show was finally able to break that coveted 10% mark for its final episode, finishing out its run at 11.3%. I’m sure those are the numbers the producers had hoped to start with, but, you can’t win ’em all.
Otherwise, The Man Living in Our House and Woman With a Suitcase are neck and neck, with The Man just barely eking out a lead over Suitcase. Over on cable, Rude Miss Young-ae Season 15 replaced Drinking Solo on tvN, and for being such a staple at this point, it’s pulling in fairly decent numbers at around 2.6%.
It was a surprise to see Shopping King Louis pull out ahead over Jealousy Incarnate on Wednesday, but it was unable to maintain that lead on Thursday, though the drop was slight. It’s a tight race between those two for sure—but On the Way to the Airport is still doing very well at nearly 10%.
As for the weekend, The K2 is still winning out in the cable ratings game, though This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair isn’t doing too bad at 2.6%. It’s Entourage I’m surprised at, since I’d expected the hyped show to pull in higher numbers opening week. But then again, it airs at a much later slot than its competitors, so it’s not exactly in the midst of primetime slots. Still, it seems like a fun enough show, so here’s hoping the ratings improve.

Not really. Laurel Tree Tailors, Blow Breeze, Our Gap-soon and This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair ratings were higher on Saturday this week than on Saturday last week.
Regarding K2, there is a reason why Knetz call idol Yoona the Flop Queen. And yes K2 is flopping, given it has virtually the 2nd worst ratings for all tvN dramas in its timeslot in the last year, and its HUGE budget.

I wouldn't say it is flopping, but the ratings have not been going in the right direction. While Yoona's international fans are arguing all over the place that she is the lead, it doesn't help that ratings and positive buzz started to trend downwards, once the Anna story line started to take shape. For many, K2 would have been a better drama if the Anna story was even more of a side plot than it is now.

I think around 4,6% is good, they even aim for 5% and they have broke it as I knew
only Reply Series has the giant rating, drinking solo and entourage is lower as I see and Bring in on ghost, ghostess also around the same rate,
so I don't think they are flopping

Drinking Solo and Bring it on Ghost are Mon-Tue dramas. You can't compare their ratings to a Fri-Sat drama. But, if you really want to compare even if the viewers for weekdays and weekend dramas are different, then it is a flop compared to the Mon-Tue drama Oh Hae Young Again...

@zia
it's new time slot and even cinderella and the 4 knight is a success with around 3%,
if 4,6 is bad then how about entourage and this week affair?
how high is this drama to not be consider flop?
around 10%?? which drama on cable has 10% except reply series?
4,6 for a cable drama is good,
isn't prime time is actually from monday to friday? ofc they gonna be better,
which make friday-sat is weird slot,
it's weekend, better go have fun outside than try have fun of 1-2 hours before finish job task for the next day on mon-fry (that people usually use to watch drama)
I am not even the drama fans but those number is like 12-14 % on public broadcast which means it's doing good ,
deny all you want but the drama is doing okay,

How is this flopping when it is getting around 5% for a cable show? That is when it is even rare to have a cable show get 3%. It is even doing better than Entourage, Drinking Solo, Bring It on Ghost.
k2 is actually one of TVN's successful shows this year.

"The k2 is flopping compare[d] to previous weeks."

This statement is not reflected by the ratings history.
Why?
Your statement makes it seem as if there was some kind of drastic plummet. This is not quite the case.
Nielsen ratings (Nationwide, ROK) have The K2 debuting at 3.2% for Ep. 1 and trending upward within a range of 3.4-4.6% until Ep. 6, where ratings spiked to a 6.6% peak. Ep. 7 saw ratings drop back to 5%, from which point they have subsequently trended down slightly within the 4.5-5.7% range, ending at 4.6% for Ep 14.
The peak in Ep. 6 was somewhat of an outlier in that it was substantially higher than almost all other episodes, including those episodes aired prior to it. So then, let’s exclude it and use it as a divider separating prior episodes and subsequent episodes. Eps. 1-5 ranged from 3.2-4.6%. Eps. 7-14 ranged from 4.5-5.7%. What do you see? The later ratings range is actually more favorable than the former. The ratings dropped from the peak, but they remained above the level experienced before the spike.
You are correct only in the sense that the ratings have trended downward following Ep. 6. But the assertion that the show has somehow "flopped” in recent episodes is not reflected in the ratings, in my assessment.
(Note: If you use Nielsen ratings only for the Seoul National Capital Area the spike is even more of an outlier.)

tvN has different timeslots. K2 is in the Primetime time slot where ratings in the last year have been high. The shows that you have mentioned are not in the primetime time slot. You compare apples with apples, not apples with oranges.
When you have a HUGE budget like K2, you expect very high ratings. tvN dramas in this Primetime time slot in the last year like Signal, got 12.6%, and Reply 1988 got 18.8%. But K2 has virtually the 2nd worst ratings for tvN dramas in this Primetime time slot in the last year. That is why it is flopping, because tvN spent a HUGE budget and the ratings are 2nd worst for all tvN dramas in this timeslot for the last year.
Unfortunately the ratings were climbing steadily and were on track to go above 10%, but they started dropping the episode after kpop Yoona got more screentime.

You are probably one of IU or Suzy stans who are constantly pressed IU and Suzys dramas flopped hard this year even with mass media hype, while Yoonas drama is actually a hit for its network.
Btw The K2 goes half an hour earlier than dramas preceding it. There were no dramas in its time slot on tvn before hand .

It didn't flop and even if it did, who are you to say the reason is due to the actress. Many of the scenes involving Yoona had the highest ratings. Check your facts. :roll:

I don't think K2 is flopping due to Yoona - it is a combination of bad writing, a plot that makes no sense, bad guys that are stupid you wonder how they manage to walk, massive fight scenes with no purpose but to have a fight scene, etc. etc.

I fail to see how Yoona is some kind of "flop queen".
You Are My Destiny (her first lead role) garnered extraordinarily high ratings, reaching upwards of 40 percent by the end of its run. Cinderella Man, Love Rain, and The Prime Minister and I all hovered in the 5 to 10 percent range (none broke 10), which is not great, but neither is it abysmal. Her recent Chinese drama God of War Zhao Yun was a spectacular success, breaking viewership records in China and garnering ratings of more than 2 percent, which is considered hugely successful in a country of 1.3 billion. I also disagree that The K2 is flopping, for reasons I've expounded upon in a comment below.
In summary, Yoona's drama performance history does not support the moniker of "flop queen". Yoona has had both hits and misses in her drama endeavors. For some reason, many have the impression that she has performed worse in ratings than the historical record actually shows, as I detailed above.

I'd say Yoona is doing about as well as can be expected, given her limited range. After all, she can only depend so much on her popularity from her other interests, and writing and direction are not always favorable for her.

Hmm No, God of War was not a huge ratings success in China. Why do idol fans, always exaggerate their bias' importance in other countries. The drama was a let down, and was widely criticized for its nonsensical plot and more so the casting of Yoona, whose looks/styling in the drama was highly criticized.
Also, just because someone doesn't like an idol's performance, doesn't make them an hater, or anti, or fan of another artist. It's this kind of cuddling that ensures that idol actors never grow/improve on their craft.
Dramabeans is a drama site, and even though reviews for that drama have been so highly skewed on Viki, by Kpop fans, it still doesn't change the many flaws of that drama/Yoona's acting in that drama and in K2.

What are you talking about , the drama before in same the time slot was The Good Wife that had lower average rating than The K2 and was considered hit.
And i don't know what you have against Yoona but during each episode the peak rating is during her scenes. Her performance is being constantly praised by Knetizen and everybody agree the drama is well produced drama.

Out of the total South Korean population of 50 million, 200 000 is around 0.4%. Even if 200 000 people were originally going to stay home and watch one drama, that's as much affect it would have on the national ratings (assuming the sample is representative of the country). K2 and Laurel Tree Tailors airs at the same time. While K2's ratings dropped 0.8% since last week, LTT increased by 0.4%.
Let's say the argument is more valid for the Seoul ratings since the protests happened in Seoul. However, K2's Seoul rating dropped 0.4% from last week, while LTT increased by 0.5%. So overall, even if the political scandal did affect certain TV ratings, it doesn't look like the case for this time slot, nor a valid reason for the drop in K2's ratings.

Well, LTT is from KBS a free network giant and K2 is from TvN a paid cable channel..
So, how many does pays for a paid cable channel?
Also, for K2's rating it's pretty much decent for a weekend family timeslot. Not fabulous thou.
I guess, Yoona's fans were the only ones faithfully tunes in there... ;p

The comment wasn't at all a comparison of the two dramas but rather a response to the logic of K2's ratings dropping because of the 200 000 people protesting. There was a comment on a Chinese forum also using the protest as a reasoning for the low ratings of Entourage. Haven't checked the timing of the protest vs. the drama airing times, but if it correlates, then the way that this reason can be logically feasible is if the "type" of viewers for these particular dramas are also the "type" of people who go protest.

too bad Louis lost 1st place but it still stays at 10% which at first seemed unreachable even once. That´s the power of fandoms and word-of-mouth (and good writing and amazing role delivery). Honestly, ep 13 lost some steam, I hope ep 14 will bring back that witty humor and energetic dynamics we saw in the beginning. Though I am glad Granny and Louis have gained a family, esp. Granny who began thinking she is bad luck and everyone around her will die. See now, Granny? It´s all right.

Granny love how lively her big mansion has become rather than previously she alone there with no loved ones with her.....there is some brief mention on that grandma thought that she is a "fierce tiger" who will cause the death of her loved ones, as her husband, her son and DIL died unexpectedly so she sent her preciouuuussss Louis to the faraway France even though she always miss him so much....I bet maybe Director Baek bribed some 'famous' fortuneteller to feed her with the fake info that she is a "fierce tiger" thus she cannot be with her loved ones or else her loved ones will die because of her, so that she can send Louis away and Director Baek can take control of the GoldLine since grandma is also old already and cannot keep working and tire herself there.....just my hunch....

Wed-Thu is the real battleground. Whereas Mon-Tue is for winners takes it all.
Cable tv fight zone is Fri-Sat and both JYBC and TVN are doing good there(Irrespective of time slot)
This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair - JTBC. Though latest episode kind of disappointed me a bit. I think people won't complain much about On the Way to the Airport affair but here it just takes another turn.
Mon-Tue is now fight between 'Man Living' with a 'Suitcase.' no more 20% ratings for these 2 shows.
Entourage - is like 1st movie of the hero. Blown up in a little breeze.

The more than double rise of SKL's ratings compared to premiere's dismal numbers is quite the rare sight. Usually if the first 2 episodes fail to make an impression with audiences, it's a very big hurdle to overcome. I would not have anticipated it, but I am happy SIG finally has a well-received show rating-wise on the big 3. It was about time. IRY should've had the same luck.
On the other hand, Entourage, ouch. Even Cinderella in the same timeslot pulled bigger numbers. I'm sure the political situation over there doesn't help, but it's still surprising to see a 1.2.

I actually happy to see rating for all drama, not any single drama doing successfully alone and one not leaving another one too far.
But let's wait and see for Jeon Ji Hyun's new drama later. It is quite fortunate for OTTA and SKL because both are about to end as well, so they can at least feel relieved. I hope the replacement drama won't suffer so much. I'm not saying Legend of the Blue Sea will be the winner since the drama is not start yet but the percentage to win is high there.

Yeah, I was kinda relieved to see OTTWTA and SKL ending their episode before LOBS start. Even though it haven't started but with LMH and JJH in it, the anticipate surely big. I really like OTTWTA, it's the only drama I anxiously wait for next episode this year so I want it to end with a satisfying rating. For me, Wed-Thurs dramas this time are better than previous and better than the other time slot. I don't watch any drama from Mon, now dropping K2. Don't want to blame the cast though but the plot contributes much to the flopping. It's getting bored...bored...and yawn.

I'm guessing the MLSHR's finale is the reason of the ratings drop. I'm hoping that this week, it will rise up again. The male lead is getting praises after his web drama Go Ho's Starry Night. Also, there are a lot of positive feedback from the Korean netizens about the show since it is light and easy to watch plus the mysteries are interesting.

I'm not surprised by SKL's ratings. Last week's episode was a killer cliffhanger, so I'm glad the Korean audience was as excited to tune in for the result as we were!! So happy for SIG!! Here's hoping the final episodes continue to do well.

Upcoming dramas: Being replaced by
Moon lovers : Romantic Doctor Kim
Shopping king Loiue: Weightlifing fairy Kim bok ju
Jealousy Incarnate: Legend of the blue sea.
ugh none of these excite me :(
I love Seo hyun jin but medical drama.
Like the concept of Kim bok ju but idk
Legend of the blue sea looks interesting but can't forget Lee min ho from Heirs :(

I wonder why all of her dramas become such huge hits in Korea
K-drama foreign fans seem to be not so fond of her works though. This is one of the reasons why I often come to Dramabeans just to check if other watchers appreciate the hype or rest confused

Yeah LMH from Heirs is pretty hard to forget. That drama continues to haunt me; every time I begin to look forward to a show, the ghost of Heirs begins to whisper in my ear. "Remember me? Remember how pretty I looked, and how excited you were to see LMH after City Hunter? Remember how I crushed your hopes and dreams?" And then Love is the Moment starts playing and I just begin to cry, because that is the only appropriate response to that song.
Heirs was pretty traumatic.

Sometimes a drama have too much promotion before airing might flop during airing cos audience's expectation tend to be even higher.....btw, I don't think Signal have any promotional going on (??) but it was really awesome from the beginning to the very end (it kept us at the edge of our seats nearly every epi).....so at the end of the day, it boils to how the plot, scenes, OSTs and the acting wise of the drama etc is.....promotional stuff might not mean anything much except to gain attention for audience to know about this show and tune in to watch it.....but if it can't appeal to audience within like 5 episodes then it's almost gone case (unless you watch it just because of your bias acting in it)....

I'm sure that Moonlovers finale ratings are in part because of how aggravating it was! I'm sure people who tuned in at first hoping for some form of closure, couldn't look away at the end, trying to make sense of it all.
Frankly, it was a train wreck. Never has the flipping tables meme been more appropriate!!
But no matter how much I hated the show and wanted to pull my hair out for watching till the end, I am glad that DB was there to console me in the morning and to let me know through every outraged recap and comment that I'm not alone in my drama induced trauma.

What a mess of a show Moon Lovers was. The show averaged a paltry 7.5%. That's 2% lower than Uncontrollably Fond's. And I know it is popular internationally but it didn't even drew half the craze DOTS got and won't even break 3B views anytime in Youku like UF, even with a larger cast.
I know SBS partially got their money back through licensing fees but the local revenue from ads are big too. Even their OSTs didn't sell much as expected. I wonder if they've broken even at this point. Even DOTS, with a lesser budget, stratospheric ratings and gazillion PPLs didn't easily get their money back.

MWIHAATW's ratings went up! I think, we will be seeing such trend due to JTBC's sudden rating increase. JTBC might even increase their drama production if this continues! I also think thay the drama deserves it! The drama has a right balance of comedy and drama. I hope, it's Friday already. :D

TVN's rating must be affected right now, as they don't air a news program. JTBC had used this opportunity for their drama because MWIHAATW’s pre programming is a news program.

What a thorough disappointment K2 turned out to be! I gave it up even though I love Ji Chang Wook, hopefully his next project will be better.
I really like Woman with a Suitcase, the cast is great to watch.
Lee Min Ho is such an uneven performer I don't hold out much hope for Legend of the Blue Sea.

Entourage pilot episode was hella boring. Not a typical Korean drama.
The Man living in Our house is going great. Hope the ratings hit 10% mark soon.
Moon lovers, a show which started with everything grand, ended with emptiness and disappointments. I knew people would tune in the finale episode, because they really wanted to see something worth at the end after a train-wreck episodes, just a teeny bit of glimpse of something beautiful. I am so happy the show ended.

I'm glad that Moon Lovers finally made it over the threshold during the finale, but man, I don't really know how many viewers were satisfied with that ending...
I wanna start watching Entourage just to see if it's a worthwhile show to watch, but the site I was trying to watch on pauses every other second. I'll have to try again later.

The jump seems to be from viewers being curious how a modern woman's journey through Goryeo will end but based on the comments all they saw was shameless PPL. Seriously, the top comments are mostly laughing at that rose serum. Haha!
Suitcase's airing was also delayed for half an hour because of baseball.

Am I the only one still watching The K2 and don't find it boring at all? Kinda sad ratings are dropping, JCW and Song Yoona are doing such an amazing job, and Im yoona's acting is such a pleasant surprise. Plot has a few holes sure but overall I'm enjoying the show.
Glad JI is leading wed-thu shows again, sorry SKL I love you but Jealousy Incarnate is back to where it belongs <3 <3 , and as much as I adore Louis, I kinda miss cool, badass SIG.

I agree! I'm really enjoying this drama right now. That being said, I can see why it's not creating as much buzz as some of the other dramas. It's not flashy, big budget or controversial, nor overly feel good. It's a mixed bag and that's why I like it but I am sad that there isn't much discussion for it, even when there are reveals.

Glad that SKL is doing well still, SIG is seriously so damn charming. Which btw, PSA: SIG was on Mari and Me/I, this adorable variety show about pet-sitting which is now SUBBED. And he sang in Ep 4, which melted my heart and reminded how bloody good he is as a singer... and now I wish he was in some kind of Dream High-esque drama where he can sing his heart out, because I feel like he's totally out-done himself as an actor that people forget his roots as a singer even though he's mentioned how much he loves singing. Also, I can't believe how down to earth he is, gawd.

I actually want SIG to do a musical. It's something that would show off both his singing and acting abilities. But unfortunately with all his dramas and variety gigs (not to mention the dreaded but impending military service *shivers*) I doubt I'll see him in musical anytime soon. Also not sure how well that even pays.

I want to point out that even in the US, traditional overnight ratings are not the be all and end all. DVR views and online views within a couple days of an episode's airing are all combined now.
These are only the traditional raw numbers.
Consider this. Phone polls in the US only go to land lines. That limits the number of houses called and skews the numbers extremely toward older people, who still have them. Phone polls are now inherently flawed.
Traditional ratings are the same thing. Sure, some shows will still blow up these numbers, but those shows will be even more shocking when you view the online/DVR numbers too.
