‘Marry Him If You Dare’ Viewers Complain Ratings Down
In KBS 2TV Monday/Tuesday drama "Marry Him If You Dare" is getting complaints from viewers after two episodes.
"Marry Him If You Dare" is a drama featuring Yoon Eun Hye, Lee Dong Gun, Hae Chae Ah and Jung Yong Hwa. It is an innovative time traveling drama that shows a future me that comes to advise me on a way to start a new destiny to show a new "option" and direction. The turning point was that despite hearing the phrases, "No not him" "You can't cross that bridge" and other realistic advice, it was impossible to predict what would happen.
Even during its first episode while receiving good ratings that it was an innovative time travel drama, it received criticism that it was a "scattered plot" and received further criticism on October 15th after the second episode that it was too slow. The fact that a no-license scene took nearly half an hour and the fact that it was so focused on Lee Dong Gun and Yoon Eun Hye were subject to complaints. A portal site community board featured responses such as "I hope the staff can reflect on the viewers feedback" (ID ture8**). "It's sad that this is all you can make with good script and good actors" (ID xota7**) "It's necessary to be more fast in the beginning with the plot with describing the characters to get people's attention but this just isn't it" (meyo75**).
In actually it was only about 40 minutes into the episode when Jung Yong Hwa, Se Ju's role, was featured. Han Chae Ah was only featured in one scene and viewers were annoyed.
Thus, "Marry Him If You Dare" fell to 8.6% after its first rating, 9.7%. "The Mystery Housemaid" airing at the same time had better ratings and ranked first, having a 3% rating differential. MBC "Goddess of Fire" had 9% ratings and took number two. It's suggested that "Marry Him If You Dare" couldn't follow the halo effect of "Good Doctor" the predecessor that had had 20% ratings and now people did not have high expectations.
However, the important point is that "Marry Him If You Dare" is only on the 2nd episode and everything all depends on how the story unfolds from here, as a turnover is possible. One personnel from "Marry Him If You Dare" said that this is the starting points and because the genre itself is very new, it'll take time for the viewers to get used to it. We're filming well and working hard, so please have high expectations."
