The child actors have finished their run on MBC's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Horse Doctor' on October 9th. The adult actors will make their first appearance on the 15th.
'Horse Doctor' aired its first episode on October 1st. In order to fully tell the story about the switched destinies of the main characters, Kwang Hyun (played by Jo Seung Woo) and Young Dal (played by Lee Yo Won), child actors played the child counterparts of the main characters.
Although the current trend is that the child actors are a big draw in the ratings at the beginning, but the child actors for 'Horse Doctor' used new faces. Unfortunately, their unstable acting failed to capture the attention of viewers.
Although Lee Byung Hoon PD is usually a guaranteed ratings hit, the drama has disappointed as it dropped to 6% in the ratings on October 8th.
Fortunately, the ratings rose to two digits on the 9th and it looks like there will be an easy transition from child to adult actors.
In this episode, adoptive father Baek Seok Gu (played by Park Hyuk Kwon) loses Kwang Hyun, who gets sold as a slave. As he suddenly became a slave, it looks to be that he will have a tumultuous life. Also, starting in the 5th episode, Jo Seung Woo, Lee Yo Won, and Kim Sang Woo will make their first appearance. Viewers are highly anticipating their performances.
There is a lot of spotlight on Jo Seung Woo, especially, because this is his first drama after fourteen years of acting. People are curious to see how he will act in a drama. Will the adult actors be able to create an uprising among the Monday-Tuesday dramas and break the reign of KBS's 'Ooh La La Couple'?
