'Moon in the Day' Kicks Off With Good Ratings
The week is again packed with a variety of dramas, featuring some of our favorite stars!
On November 1, ENA channel's "Moon in the Day" officially graced the screen and recorded a promising rating of 1.6 percent, which immediately emerged as a strong rival to MBC's "A Good Day to Be a Dog, starring Cha Eun Woo.
However, some viewers were disappointed as it fell to 1.7 during the recent episode.
MBC's Plan To Release One Episode of 'A Good Day to Be a Dog' Per Week Failed?
As cited by a media outlet, "A Good Day to Be a Dog" is MBC's first challenge with a Wednesday drama. However, as the series continues to air, it is considered a failed attempt due to the broadcasting plan of releasing online one episode a week.
To recall, episode 1 garnered 2.2 percent but fell short and continued to record below 2 percent ratings from episodes 2 to 4.
As a given example by the source, tvN's "Hospital Playlist" also released one episode per week, but it succeeded in achieving high viewerships and became trending on social media platforms.
Cha Eun Woo & Kim Young Dae's K-Dramas Receive Anticipation
Comparing the two ongoing dramas, a source pointed out that some viewers blame Cha Eun Woo's acting for the declining ratings of his new drama.
This is not the first time that people brought up this topic. K-netizens even had heated discussions about it before. The idol-actor also caused controversies over his acting skills in his previous dramas, such as "True Beauty," "My ID is Gangnam Beauty," and "Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung."
However, he received praise for his improved acting in the action-horror drama "Island," where he showed his remarkable action stunts.
On the other hand, Kim Young Dae's "Moon in the Day" captured the audience as it is "more interesting than expected."
The pilot episode released and already tells an exciting narrative of the unfortunate relationship of Do Ha and Han Ri Ta after the Daegaya war and their first reunion as top star Han Joon Oh and firefighter Kang Young Hwa.
As it kicked off with a good record, which is similar to the previous drama "The Kidnapping Day," "Moon in the Day" is expected to deliver better results in the upcoming weeks.
MBC's "A Good Day to Be a Dog" and "Moon in the Day" are facing off in a rating competition, and attention is focused on which drama will continue to have good performance until the end.
