I heard that This drama will be on Viki, and i have Viki Subs. However I'm not familiar how soon will it be on viki after it airs in SK TVN. Anybody have experience on how soon Drama will be available on viki after it airs in SK?
There is nothing wrong with criticizing a Drama. Even dramas that are considered masterpieces have their own critics.…
Almost didn't want to comment anything. I am someone who enjoys the show but also recognize it's flaw, not particularly Die hards fans of either Main Leads. More like A hwannie :). but for all i know is that as of Now Wavve has reached 15 millions subs. Not 100% sure if it's accurate, but according to this article, which is recent (April 14th) Wavve has 14 million subs.
Again, don't shoot me. Just want to bring up some facts. I do join the discussion forum to help get more insight on the drama, so in our forum, we always get report from Naver ranking, which usually in the top 5, but lately they have been dominating #1 and #2 in Naver and the last couple of Good data reports, The King has been #1 search and the last Good Data report their Points have been really high at 30.57.
Naver ranking always change, but usually during the weekend it's airing, they top the chart and then maybe go down slightly and back up again when it airs. We also get to see SK viewer comments on naver (Thank you for the translator) and mostly are pretty good, especially after episode 8
And lastly, the OST always topping Melon and Genie Charts (both are the big SK music chart)
We also have someone who lives in SK who clarified that, while the controversies regarding the drama are true, and the TV ratings are less than desired, but the show isn't flop in SK, in fact it's quite popular. Maybe not the levels of other drama, but certainly not a flop. Wavve are streaming site partially own by SBS, and it has all the currently airing drama from all 3 Public Channel (SBS, KBS/2, and MBC), According to our SK friends, people who paid subscription to Wavve prefer watching it there because they paid for it. and yes it airs at the same time as it airs on SBS live Tv. So, technically those PPL is still shown to Local viewers via Wavve, they still get the Local market.
With this tho, looking at all the Public Channel Ratings at the moment, they are not doing good. None of the currently airing Dramas on Public channels even hit double digits, only "Once again" from KBS i believe that hit double digits. and some of the recent hits, especially since Wavve acquired more subscriber, has been from Cable channel, because other than netlfix, they have to tune in to the channel. The recent Hit JTBC show, doesn't even air on netflix, maybe now is? i don't know, but that drama can only be watch through the Cable Channel. So, i don't know if Wavve has something to do with the Public channels ratings these days.
I know we have mainly hear the bad through the International news about the drama, and not trying to deny those news, but also there are other info from South korea that got left out. And this particular writer tends to stir controversy her last two Dramas (goblin and MR. Sunshine) were also had a lot of controversies.
Not trying to Argue, take this info however you want. There are high rated Dramas i don't enjoy and there are low rated dramas i enjoy and do not enjoy. Different strokes for different folks right? *Peace
