According to Nielsen Korea, episode 2 of the new fantasy romance drama " Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" saw ratings increase, reaching 6.6%, 1.7% higher than the opening episode.
The story is about Yeon Ji Young (YoonA) - an award-winning French chef who has traveled back in time to 500 years. Here, she meets the tycoon king Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min), who is known as the worst tycoon - and also a phlegm.
In the first 2 episodes, the film focuses on introducing characters and settings. The plot of the film is humorous, with exaggerated scenes, but not too uncomfortable for viewers. YoonA's role is considered suitable for her acting ability, while her co-star Lee Chae Min, although suitable for ancient costumes, still has some rough roles, and her eyes do not show the psychological depth of the character.
With a positive start, "The Government of the Brutes" is expected to help tvN revive the number of viewers after a long "bad" period. However, to be able to retain the audience, the film needs to have many new details, because the film genre has not been familiar with the "Korean film industry" for many years, so if the content is easy to predict, the work can easily be ignored.
Meanwhile, the new super action film "Twelve" by Ma Dong Seok and Park Hyung Sik had an impressive start - the rating reached 8.1% in episode 1, but decreased to 5.9% for episode 2.
As the film progresses, the past of tiger Tae San (Ma Dong Seok) and the gods is gradually revealed. However, the film has many characters, bringing a multi-dimensional perspective, but because of that, some places make viewers' emotions lose their flow.
The villainous characters of Ogui (Park Hyung Sik) and Sa Min (Kim Chan Hyung) have not yet fully developed their strength. Some viewers commented that they are still not used to Park Hyung Sik's first stunt double.
Also on the evening of August 24, episode 6 of "The Golden Time" aired with a rating of 15.6% - the highest since its broadcast, while "The Lawyer's Dream" also achieved a new record with a rating of 8.7%.
