The JTBC weekend drama "Doctor Slump," starring Park Hyung-sik and Park Shin-hye, stumbled over the Lunar New Year holiday. While it achieved a peak rating of 6.7%, it suffered setbacks. Can it recover its viewer ratings?
"Dr. Slump" started off well, inheriting the momentum from the successful "Welcome to Samdal-ri" which ended with a peak rating of 12.4%. Its first episode recorded a rating of 4.1%, followed by 5.1% (2nd episode), 5.1% (3rd episode), and 6.7% (4th episode). However, the ratings for the 5th and 6th episodes aired during the Lunar New Year holiday took a nosedive. The 5th episode on February 10th garnered a rating of 3.7%, showing a significant drop. The following day's episode saw a slight increase of 0.2% compared to the previous day.
Competing against "Doctor Slump" are MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Knight Flower", SBS's Friday-Saturday dramas "Flex X Cop", and tvN's "Captivating The King". During the Lunar New Year period, "Flex X Cop" opted for cancellation. "Knight Flower" aired as usual, while "Captivating The King" aired for four consecutive episodes. As a result, its ratings increased.
"Knight Flower" recorded a rating of 11% on February 9th but experienced a slight decrease compared to the previous week. The February 10th episode achieved a competitive rating of 12.9%. "Captivating The King" made a bold move by airing consecutively from Friday to Sunday, totaling four episodes during the holiday. Its ratings were 4.2% on February 9th, slightly down from the previous week. However, it increased to 4.7% on the 10th, 6.4% on the 11th, and 6.7%, setting a new peak rating.
The only drama to experience a decrease in ratings was "Doctor Slump." Due to the nature of the Lunar New Year holiday, television viewership tends to be dominated by parents or older adults, making viewer attrition inevitable. Additionally, the consecutive airing of "Captivating The King" disrupted the flow of both "Knight Flower" and "Doctor Slump".
With 16 episodes in total, "Doctor Slump" has yet to reach its turning point. It is gaining attention through online communities and word-of-mouth. If it continues to provide entertainment value, its viewership is likely to recover. Now that the holiday is over, the focus is on whether "Doctor Slump" can regain its audience.
-Since the OTT service is doing well, do we really need to focus on ratings? Look at Netflix, this drama is always in the top ranks there~
-But these days, dramas in general seem really boring, and as for variety shows... there's nothing much to say.
-But seriously, the story just lacks excitement.
-Park Shin-hye plays the role of a high school student turned doctor; she gives off such a similar vibe to her past dramas that I don't have any expectations and don't watch.
-It's slow-paced, so it can be a bit boring at times, but it's not unwatchable.
-It was so entertaining that I binge-watched episodes 1 to 6 on Netflix. Their chemistry is great.
-Wow, am I the only one finding it entertaining these days?
-The story is predictable and slow-paced, so I'm not really looking forward to the next episode... I'm also not sure about their chemistry.
-I find it fun, so I'm really just waiting for this...
-It's fun, it's the only drama I watch these days...
-The first two episodes were a bit exciting with some tension, but after that, it just feels like they keep eating, playing, drinking, and going to karaoke, so it wasn't great.
-It's entertaining, but it's not super exciting... Maybe everyone will just watch it when they have time? But still, I didn't expect the viewership to drop this much.
-I don't find it that entertaining eitherㅠㅠ I wait for the live broadcast but end up switching to OTT while watching. It seems like opinions are quite divided...
-I don't watch it and I'm not particularly curious about this combination...
-The dialogue is too cheesy...
Since there are no designated areas, people are gathering towards the singer's seats.
Many singers are also worried, and some even expressed their concerns directly on stage. Yoon Do-hyun seemed quite angry while speaking...

-What were they thinking not dividing the sections?
-Not dividing the standing section is a big mistake. It's frustrating how even though they keep telling people to move back, some fans aren't moving.
-The organizers are idiots...
-It's such a mess, even the singers seem really worried.
-They should have divided the sections. This is the first time I've seen something like this.
-The singers sitting there look so concerned. It's scaryㅠ Everyone, please watch the concert safely...ㅠㅠ
-Have they forgotten about the Itaewon tragedy..?
-Who came up with this layout? It's like a madman's idea.
-There are even over 1,000 people in Section A... It's surprising that there haven't been any accidents.
-Even if they divided the sections, people would still cluster together. Who's the lunatic who didn't divide the sections despite it being all standing?
-It's too dangerous, ㅜㅜ
-Who's the genius who divided the sections like that? If you divide it like that, it's a disaster waiting to happen...
-They should have divided the sections; if they just leave the standing area wide open like that, it's predictable that people will cluster together.

Withdraw!!!! Withdraw!!!!! Please!!!!!!
-I feel sorry for other members.
-Don't jump to conclusions too quickly... until forensic analysis and voice analysis come out.
-The pitch is different. I think it's likely synthesized, someone could be intentionally scheming to provoke the fans.
-It seems like we should analyze the voice.
-I can hear some sound, but regardless, it wasn't the fans. I don't know who said it.
-Since their agency is good at voice analysis, they should do it.
-Oh, I don't really know; we might need to analyze the voice to find out...?
-Screaming "withdraw" seems strange... Fans wouldn't say that ㅠㅠ!
-This might be a misunderstanding too.
-It sounds like staff voices ㅠㅠ
-Send it to the research institute that Kim Ji-woong commissioned ㅠㅠ
-The comments are hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-We need to see the results of the voice pitch analysis.
-Seems like this clip was manipulated~
-We need voice analysis to confirm if it's what the fans were saying. Besides, it might not be from their fans, right?
-They should release the full videoㅜ How do we know if it's edited?
-Tell them to release the CCTV footage
I'm not kidding, my facial features look exactly like the person in the photo below, but my skin tone is different on the left, so I just feel like an ordinary poop emoji. When I was born, I wasn't like this, is there really no way to fix this... It's really stressful.

As "Squid Game" has gained tremendous popularity and worldwide fame, it was already speculated that the leading actors' fees would increase. In particular, since Lee Jung-jae is an indispensable key actor for "Squid Game" Season 2, whatever fee he demands must be justified. If Lee Jung-jae indeed receives over 1 billion won per episode, it would be the highest guarantee fee ever paid in South Korea.
This is seen as a tribute to Lee Jung-jae, who contributed significantly to the success of "Squid Game." According to an official from a broadcasting content production company, "Considering the financial strength of Netflix, which produced 'Squid Game,' Lee Jung-jae's appearance fee could exceed 1 billion won per episode. Given the global interest in 'Squid Game' and the perspective of 'this person deserves recognition,' it could be rationalized."
Paying 1 billion won per episode with domestic capital alone would be challenging. The official added, "If Lee Jung-jae is cast in a different project other than 'Squid Game' and sold overseas, it may not generate as much revenue as 'Squid Game.' For a six-part series, it would be 6 billion won. Casting him for 10 billion won per episode amid uncertainty about generating that level of profit poses a risk burden."
"Squid Game 2" reportedly includes incentives for the success of the first season, offered by the headquarters.
-I understand even if he asks for more.
-It's understandable to receive that much for "Squid Game." It's still less compared to Hollywood actors.
-"Squid Game" is Netflix's all-time No.1... Considering the profits, that amount might be considered low. It's from the U.S. headquarters anyway.
-It's understandable if "Squid Game" actors receive even more. Now it's global Hollywood-level productions, not just Korean dramas. It shouldn't be compared to other local dramas.
-It's "Squid Game," after all.
-If he wasn't from South Korea, 1 billion won wouldn't mean anything... He would probably even receive double. He only received that much because he's a Korean actor.
-Considering how much money "Squid Game" made, it's understandable.
-It's "Squid Game," then what can you say? It's worth it.
-There are actors in Korea who receive 500 million, so 1 billion for "Squid Game" is actually considered cheap.
-"Squid Game" earned in the tens of billions...
-They should pay him more for this. How much did "Squid Game" make?
-Lee Jung-jae deserves it.
-"Squid Game" is an exception.
On the evening of the 17th, MBC's variety show "Point of Omniscient Interference" aired its 286th episode, featuring Block B's Zico and Brian of "Fly to the Sky".
During the episode, Zico, the founder of the "Dance Challenge," revealed that he is receiving a lot of resentment. Since the "Dance Challenge," which started from Zico's "Any Song Challenge," has become an essential activity for promoting idol songs, idols are now obligated to film challenge videos in the waiting room during their breaks.
Zico expressed, "Even all singers must know each other's choreography," and apologized for this aspect, saying, "I would like to take this opportunity to apologize."
-I'm tired of the challenges now, even though they were good...
-Zico, please make not doing the challenge a trend.
-I'm really tired of it now...
-Please make a trend of clapping while sitting on the couch and listening to your own songs instead of dancing challenges.
-It's not that I don't like the challenge itself, but I don't like them choosing choreography specifically for the challenge... Rather than modifying existing choreography easily for the challenge, I dislike them blatantly selecting choreography specifically for the challenge...
-It's not Zico's fault... it's the companies forcing forced challenge marketing that's the problemㅠㅠ Honestly, even viewers are tired of it now.
-It's not Zico's fault; it just accidentally became popular.
-The songs are getting repetitive.
-It doesn't seem necessary to apologize for something that Zico didn't force, wasn't it just because "Any Song Challenge" became popular that everyone else started making challenges? It doesn't seem like anyone's fault. Maybe everyone should just gradually stop when the challenge's popularity cools down like this.
-Let's just stop now.
-Rather than saying it became a trend because of Zico, it was already a global trend, and Zico was just the first to step in, being mistaken as the creator.
-Isn't it inevitable since TikTok is the trend?
