'Mirae's Choice" Drops in Ratings vs. New Plot
"Mirae's Choice" started to really bring on waves in the latter part of its plot.
As if recognizing the low ratings until now, the 13th episode of KBS 2TV "Mirae's Choice" (script Hong Jin Ah, director Kwon Kae Hong) broadcast on November 25th started to suddenly advance its plot.
In the beginning, the rom com with Yoon Eun Hye who had returned to the TV screen in 5 years as well as Lee Dong Gun, a popular idol Jung Yong Ha as protagonists with the fresh topic of time travel started to raise expectations. However, for reasons, the ratings dropped by day.
Maybe this is so but on the 13th episode broadcast on November 25th, the plot started to speed up. The episode started with Park Se Ju (played by Jung Yong Ha) who was promoted to the director of YBS. Until now, Park Se Ju had worked as a contract VJ but now, he found his real place. Moreover, Na Mirae (played by Yoon Eun Hye) learns that the reason big Mirae (played by Choi Myung Gil) comes is to stop the death of Kim Shin (played by Lee Dong Gun). IN addition, Na Mirae realizes there is no big scar on the ankle of Big Mirae and this foreshadowed another twist.
Especially as Na Mirae and Kim Shin go out to film a haunted house, she learns that Big Mirae doesn't have a huge scar on her ankle, and it shows that the future that the future that Big Mirae knows may change. In the beginning of the episodes of "Mirae's Choice", she just appeared out of nowhere and confused viewers by saying, "I'm your future." And with three episodes left, on the 13th episode, it was revealed that she had come to prevent the death of anchorman Kim Shin whom she loved and taken a time machine.
The waves that came from the plot were plenty to grab the attention of the viewers' ears and eyes. Despite it all, "Mirae's Choice" broadcast on November 25th had its lowest ratings at 4.5% and was last in place. This wasn't even half of the ratings of its first episode 9.7% and it wasn't able to grab the hearts of the viewers.
"Mirae's Choice" is a 16-episode drama and only has three episodes left. It's at the point of running ot the end but has another twist as it adds interest to the plot. In addition, the four people Kim Shin, Na Mirae, Park Se Ju, and Suh Yoo Kyung (played by Han Chae Ah)'s destinies are tangled up in one another and they can't find a solution point. Like this, there are so many problems to resolve in "Mirae's Choice". There are a lot of interesting parts of the plots to see as to whether Kim Shin and Na Mirae, and Park Se Ju and Suh Yoo Kyung will marry like the past or whether the ending will be a happy ending of love and not a sad one of "death."
The opportunity is still there. The drama has run for a while to show what the tragedy was and why Mirae came from the future. And slowly, the mysteries are being unrevealed. With the last episode to be aired on Tuesday, December 3rd, it'll be interesting to see whether "Mirae's Choice" will be able to fly with strength and go above and beyond.
