Is Kim Soo Hyun’s comeback drama, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, finally gaining momentum? It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, which had remained at a standstill in viewership after its first episode, saw a slight rise in the 5th and 6th episodes, raising expectations for the romance between Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji. Despite the somewhat disappointing viewership, the popularity of the drama is at the peak every day. Especially this week, the unrealistic wasp waist of Seo Ye Ji attracted great attention. Let’s check out which programs have made headlines over the past week.
The Dramas on the 1st week of July 2020
It’s Okay to Not Be Okay successfully maintains the No.1 spot in the drama category for three consecutive weeks, but there were arguments for and against the “sexual harassment” scene among netizens. Once Again remained in second place for five weeks in a row while the narration of the main couple’s romance unfolded in earnest as Lee Sang Yeob showed his regret toward Lee Min Jung. My Unfamiliar Family, which draws attention with its shocking ending in every episode, came in fourth. Oh My Baby and Kkondae Intern ended in fifth and sixth place, respectively, while KBS2’s new drama Into the Ring started off solid, ranking 7th.
