According to Nielsen Korea, episode 5 of "The officialdom of the bully" recorded a viewership rating of 10.8% - down 0.3% compared to the previous episode. However, this is still a film that achieved good results in the broadcast period.
According to the film, King Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min) has gradually developed feelings for chef Yeon Ji Young (YoonA). After knowing that he had "forced to kiss" Ji Young while drunk, Lee Heon apologized to her, even giving her the right to use the greenhouse to grow precious vegetables and fruits in the palace at will.
At the same time, he also returned to Ji Young the handbag she had been looking for for a long time. This action of Lee Heon made the female lead unable to hide her happiness and hugged him. Because he was so confused, Lee Heon became red and panicked to the point of stumbling. The performances of YoonA and Lee Chae Min in this scene delighted viewers.
In addition, like previous episodes, the film continues to "treat" the audience with delicious, beautiful dishes. Along with that, in the post-king war, the fan clubs gradually revealed their plots and calculations.
Also aired on the evening of September 6, the film "Horses" (also known as: Horses Beet Salty) also recorded a decrease in rating, down to 6.9%. However, the content and acting of the film received positive feedback.
The performance of the female lead Go Hyun Jung (as murderer Jung Yi Shin) made an impression. The way she treats her son Cha Soo Yeol (Jang Dong Yoon), or each time she describes the murderer's actions, makes viewers "goosebumps".
Up to now, the audience cannot help but doubt that the reason Yi Shin met his son again after 23 years was to help him investigate the case or for a private purpose that he was trying to hide.
Similarly, the film "Dream of a Lawyer" also recorded a decrease in viewership in the evening episode of September 6. The film reached 7.5%, down 1.6% compared to episode 10. The film will air its final episode tonight (September 7).
"The Twelve Children of the Guard" by Ma Dong Seok is a rare film to increase ratings, however, the 3.4% that the film achieved was not high, far from the 8.1% that the film recorded in the first episode.
Meanwhile, Park Min Young's "Fraud Queen" was expected but only recorded a rating of 1.1% for the opening episode. Playing the fraudulent Saint Yoon Yi Rang, Park Min Young tries to show off the skills of a person with an IQ of 165 and foreign thinking.
However, compared to Song Ji Hyo's cameo (guest) performance, Park Min Young's acting was a bit regrettable because it was awkward and acted out as an exaggeration. However, some viewers believe that these moments are suitable for the character's alone personality and do not affect the film.
