K-BBJX aired a second episode back-to-back with it’s first episode và that episode 2 got 9.3% ratings. Long running MBC drama Monster came in with 10% ratings as it winds down its run. Moonlight’s own first episode got 8.3% ratings but this week the drama managed to lớn capitalize on good word of mouth & SBS drama Doctors ending its run last week. I’m enjoying Moonlight và am totally loving Moon Lovers so it’s a win-win for me lớn have two solid sageuks khổng lồ follow.
For those looking for stirring sageuk romance, both Moonlight and Moon Lovers are showcasing exceptional OTP chemistry between the leads right off the bat – Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung are adorable & insanely xinh tươi with the banter, whereas Lee Jun Ki is channeling the best period swooning hero swagger opposite IU’s damsel trying to lớn figure things out.

Moonlight Drawn by Clouds Jumps in Ratings và Takes the Mon-Tues Lead Over Premiering K-Bu Bu Jing Xin — 191 Comments
I am sad because I was expecting more since Moon Lovers:Scarlet Heart is so good. I guess MDBTC got the edge over its one week earlier premiere. But even then, Doctors premiered at 12% & so the figure is pretty much dissapointing. I don’t understand the domestic Korean audience’s preference but I am still hoping that tonite Scarlet will bởi vì a lot better.

Well, judging by the comments most Korean netizens think the acting (other than LJK and KHN) is terrible. I don’t expect it to vị much better.

Moonlight rating goes up because effect of 1N2D. Bogum as guest last week.

MDBC enjoyed the withdrawal effect from Doctors. That same tender fluffy light hearted romance very much unlike Scarlet which is offering intense darker heavy romance & lots và lots of bloodbath. Seeing that massive jump basically give me the impression that Doctors’ viewers just directly tuning in khổng lồ something of similar genre lớn continue feeding their thirst for such genre without even bother to check on Scarlet. We will see how Scarlet fare tonight since some may have checked on episode 2 and then khổng lồ decide on which drama they choose to stay with.

I don’t think her performance on the first episode was helping either!

I’m currently following Moonlight và were really the underdog going in to lớn the Mon-Tues battle. Since both dramas have a solid original novel on its belts, together with seems lượt thích a competent PD for both, hence the prettiness. I think Moonlight have the advantage of having a generally well-liked cast (PBG & to some extent KYJ), seasoned sageuk veterans (KYJ and senior casts), no acting holes và OTP chemistry in terms of visuals và acting, but relatively new & untested leads. While, Scarlet has the pretty và popular boys & girl, well-liked male leads (LJK và KHN), and big-preproduction budget, but relatively new actors in general and/or new lớn sageuk. But IU should lay off the deer in the headlight stare và the young princes should take it down a notch.

Was Moonlight really the underdog, I wonder? Surely the advantages mentioned above for Moonlight re cast, veterans, acting, PD etc. > than Scarlet’s pretty/popular boys và girl, big production budget & newbie actors? I think the Korean audience lượt thích KYJ và PBG a lot, KYJ is lượt thích their favorite daughter who they have watched grow up, and PBG is a very popular actor since Reply và IRY.
I think the biggest advantage for Moonlight is that the Korean audience prefers khổng lồ watch fun & light-hearted stories rather than heavy serious politicking, murder và mayhem. Moonlight is quite similar lớn the very successful SKK Scandal & TMETS in vibe. On the other hand, I’m kinda sad that awesome serious sageuks like 6FD couldn’t get 16% ratings until its 35th episode!

Goal: hold off on watching both Moonlight Drawn by Clouds and Moon Lovers so that I can binge watch them both after they’re over because I’m 99% sure I’ll love them both.
Probably of success: low.

I never expect lượt thích this before, why this always happen lớn my jun ki????? After scholar who walks the night… he never lucky with his female lead, ughh!!!! Jun ki… please work with A danh sách actress, I dont care if she older than you but I want to see you success in rating battel!!!!!!!

I feel you my friend. I feel sad for Jun Ki. I wonder why luck still not with him yet despite him being so diligent và being a spectacular actor?
But don’t blame it on IU. She was amazing so far in the first 2 episodes. My mom initially complaining over her casting but when she watched the episodes last night, her view on her changed totally. When I told her over the lackluster rating, she convinced me that such a great drama will eventually pick up the ratings, so she basically restores my faith here.
The massive jump in MDBC is kind of extreme. Very seldom a show jumps that much in ratings so I am saying that they receive the advantage from premiering one week ahead và Doctors audience pretty much tuning in khổng lồ MDBC to lớn continue the light hearted và warm feeling of the drama. But with Scarlet Heart trending on naver & so are the casts that are IU, Ha Neul và Lee Jun Ki, doesn’t that shows that the drama has intrigued some interest & who knows what could happen tonight, right?
International audience (based on ONE TV Asia fb) are raving over the show. So don’t thảm bại hope yet, W & MDBC also premiering in single digit. I am sure Scarlet has more awesomeness to share.
Hwaiting MLSHR.

Is that phenomenal or what? 7.5% jump? Some dramas can’t even hit this number, let alone an increase of this size. Dots did 7.9% from ep 3 to 4 but Dots had so much more hype, budget và everything so kudos khổng lồ Moonlight for its feat.
I was betting on Scarlet Heart khổng lồ beat Moonlight from word go despite the latter having a head start. First week ratings are based on anticipation of drama and size of fanbase. I never thought the collective fandoms of Scarlet Heart’s cast would be beaten by the number of viewers won over by Moonlight.
A silver lining in the dark cloud is that there is an increase of a good 1.9% for Scarlet’s 2nd episode. If people lượt thích what they see, the drama might just give Moonlight a good fight.

I don’t think Scarlet really has a star-studded cast. Wasn’t the drama being bashed by k & i-netz for its singers/idols/models casting, & the writer doubted for her track record? On the other hand, wasn’t Moonlight’s cast being highly praised for their great acting skills, and how lacking the netz considered Scarlet’s female lead compared khổng lồ Moonlight’s, before they aired?
It’s also kinda interesting that a light và romantic Moonlight followed a low-rated serious drama vs a serious và dramatic Scarlet followed a high-rated light, romantic và heartwarming Doctors.
