Ahjumemshie Lee Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 In Korea, advertisers are still looking to the ratings. Their local industry is getting big support from these shows in terms of marketing local products. Imagine a 5.1% nationwide TV rating equals 1.1 million viewers when Law School premiered in April. As an international fan, I do also look up to these numbers in choosing what drama/s I need to include in my list. There’s a lot of expansion projects going on in reaching the global audience. Check the latest from Tuesday’s drama sched.

miss_vicky Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Honestly for me, personally, i do not look at the ratings. I've watched series that had high ratings and were all over different platforms that i couldn't miss it. Checked them out and were not to my liking. Then again, i may just be picky and like certain styles and type. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Kang Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Admit it or not, ratings do really have a big impact to the whole team and to the production as well. This does not only apply to dramas but to variety shows as well. Ratings reflect whether viewers liked it or not. Some dramas and shows were cut short because of very low ratings and some are also extended because of high ratings. Personally, I do sometimes check the ratings to gauge the situation and see how well it was received in SK since we can't do anything. We might like what we are watching but koreans might not like it so it is helpful to see the ratings from time to time to gauge for possibilities of extension or cancellation. Usually, ratings also has an effect on the year-end awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amirr Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yeah, I still do. With various content circulating in multiple streaming platforms, I really want to save time from trying each of them. So, most of the time, I rely on reviews and synopses online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jttyrel Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's all about the premise for me. Rating can be misleading... there are some highly rated dramas that I've dropped, and some lowkey dramas I love. Though... if I see a lot of people having gripes about it I'll steer clear.

joelthompsons Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 While ratings may not be the only factor to consider when choosing which dramas to watch, it is true that they are still an important metric in the Korean entertainment industry. Ratings can indicate the popularity and success of a drama, and can influence decisions on renewals or extensions, casting choices, and future productions. Additionally, high ratings can attract more advertising revenue and sponsorships, which can contribute to the financial success of a drama. As an international fan, it's understandable to consider ratings as a factor in choosing what dramas to watch, as it can give some indication of the overall popularity and reception of a drama in its home country. However, it's important to also consider personal preferences and tastes, as well as reviews and recommendations from other viewers, when making your own list of dramas to watch.
