The film Shins Project revolves around Mr. Shin Jae I ( Han Suk Kyu) - a former leading negotiator who runs a popular fried chicken shop.
Known as a neighborhood hero, Shin, along with Jo Philip (Bae Hyun Sung) - a serious rookie judge and Lee Si On (Lee Re) - a delivery driver, stood up to mediate the conflict and help people overcome difficult situations.
In the first 5 episodes, the film attracted audiences thanks to its attractive plot, fast-paced film, and impressive acting. Thanks to that, the viewership rating of the movie "The Master of reconciliation" grew steadily, reaching the highest level of 8.7% in episode 5.
The film's achievements are more impressive when shown on Monday and Tuesday but the ratings are much higher than films shown at the "golden hour" of the weekend such as "Dream of Memories", "Squat Queen"...
However, in the last 3 episodes, the drama suddenly cooled down, reaching 7.2%-4.5%. In episode 7 alone, the film's rating dropped to 5.5%.
The reason comes from the fact that the showdown on Monday and Tuesday has a new competitor - Jeon Yeo Bin's "The Unknown Girl".
On the other hand, the new mediation cases are somewhat predictable, such as the case of the son of a city Party Committee member bullying Si On, the house deposit dispute involving 2 close friends who used to live in the same orphanage. Or the past case of Mr. Shin's son is similar to the motif of many Korean TV series with the theme of detectives and criminals.
Currently, the film "The Con Man" with 4 episodes will end its broadcast. However, on October 8, the film's producer suddenly announced that episodes 9 and 10 of the film would postpone the broadcast schedule from October 13-14 to October 20-21. According to the crew, this adjustment is aimed at " bringing audiences better broadcast content".
In addition, on October 13, the producer will air a special episode to summarize the main contents from episode 1 to episode 8 to help the audience grasp the plot and enjoy upcoming stories in more detail.
With the new move, the media expects, "The Master of Conciliation" will finish with a double-digit rating (10%). Currently, the film holds the record for being the second and third highest rated TV series of 2025 on tvN, up to now.
