Thanks all, nice to see some insights into how we watch and enjoy our dramas. I think I can come away from this with a better understanding of why the domestic ratings mean something to some. Not going to lie, it still means little to me but at least we aren't fighting over the ratings.

Thank you yes, I think because I watch dramas by streaming the complete series after broadcast I don't get the excitement or pride, so it was hard to understand. Whilst I may like certain actors or find them attractive - I'm not a big follower of Social Media etc. so they aren't as immediate for me. Also I'm old so a lot of people I think of as stars are old or dead now, it's harder to get as involved over people who could be your sons or daughters.
Who cares what the ratings are, anyone that does could you explain why you care?Purely for my curiosity.
Cool, thanks for the reply. I get the good for actors bit also it helps the producers and writers. It also, for Kdramas that are shot on the go, can drive some strange plot changes to improve ratings and get dramas cut short or over extended with filler episodes.
I was more meaning for us drama fans. There are some great shows out there that are sleeper hits, becoming classics on streaming sites after the fact. There are also plenty of shows rated quite low either here or domestic ratings that I thoroughly enjoy. As well as a number of shows with great ratings I find tedious.
Which takes me back to my question as a drama fan on MDL why are you interested in domestic viewing figures? Is it just a 'see everyone enjoys it like I do' validation sort of thing?

I may go back to it but the I don't care about them was strong, That Fool on the other hand for all the FLs wooden…
Can't say I got any laughs out of the 4 episodes I watched I mostly found it excruciating, any time either of them got vaguely likeable they would do something to remove my sympathy - I'll try it again in a few months maybe.
