KBS Weekend Drama Shocks With Low Ratings In The 1% Range Despite Star-Studded Cast
The KBS weekend drama “Last Summer” ratings have become a topic of discussion among netizens.
The drama, which premiered on November 1, started off with a modest 2.7% in average viewership ratings according to Nielsen Korea. Many fans had hoped the series would pick up and manage to see a ratings boost for each passing episode, but that has not happened yet.
Last week’s 9th episode recorded the drama’s lowest rating to date with 1.5% in average nationwide ratings according to Nielsen Korea. The 10th episode’s rating saw a slight rise in ratings to 1.7%. The dwindling ratings have shocked many fans of the series and the actors involved.
The series is led by Lee Jae Wook, who takes on a dual role, Choi Sung Eun, and Kim Gun Woo. Despite having some of the hottest current big names in the industry, the series struggled with attracting viewers.
But why has “Last Summer” been struggling with its ratings?
Some viewers have talked about the plot of the drama as the reason. Others believe its the competition from the other broadcasting channels weekend shows including SBS’s “Taxi Driver 3.”
Why do you think “Last Summer” has been struggling with its ratings? Are you currently watching the series?
