I don't think you need to compare it to the other ratings of others drama... it's a great start that's all.
lol what? The Korean media is flooded with this info right now. I’m just sharing it for informational purposes, how you take it isn’t my problem. If you don't like it just scroll past or complain to the journalists.
The first episode of Perfect Crown recorded a nationwide household rating of 7.8%
This is 3.4 percentage points higher than the 4.4% first-episode rating of its predecessor, In Your Radiant Season. Comparatively, the drama before In Your Radiant Season, The Judge Returns, achieved a peak rating of 13.6% but only had a 4.3% rating for its premiere, proving the high anticipation for Perfect Crown.
Lee Jun Ho confirmed his and Ju Ji Hoon’s appearance in a recent interview.
Lee Jun Ho also talked about his upcoming project, Viking. "I had been offered the role before, but the timing didn’t align. When I saw the script this time, I felt the weight of the story, dealing with power struggles within a chaebol family. I thought I could show something interesting with this story," he explained.
He discussed his character, saying, "I play someone in charge of managing the company’s risks. There are some ambiguous aspects to the role, so I think I can portray different sides of the character. This role is quite different from my previous ones in Typhoon Company and Cashier, so personally, I was drawn to it. It’s a chaebol character, but different from the one in King The Land. This one feels more laid-back, but I’m still figuring out the specifics of the character."
He will be working alongside Jo Ji Hoon in Viking and mentioned, "We don’t have a close relationship yet, but we met briefly after a movie screening. I’m really looking forward to working with him, as I expect a lot from his acting. I’m curious to see the kind of energy we’ll exchange on set."
The character in Viking, Han Ji Yeol, needs to have a certain strength. He may not look like a typical chaebol, but he needs to feel solid, so I’m working on that, I need to lose weight and slim down a bit.
