Despite stagnant ratings, the popularity for Start-Up is still hot. Not only did the drama rank at No. 1 on the popularity chart for three weeks in Korea, but it also is gaining sensational popularity abroad via Netflix. Attention is focusing on whether Start-Up, which has only 4 episodes left till the end, will be able to make up for the lack in the plot that has been pointed out as disappointments and come to a successful conclusion. Let’s check out which programs have made headlines over the past week.
The Dramas on 3rd Week of November 2020
Although the popularity for Start-Up has decreased from the previous week, it still managed to land at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks. However, many still complained about the writer’s ability as the highly improbable story continued, and more agreed that the drama is not making good use out of attractive characters. The Penthouse: War in Life canceled one episode but still rose one notch up to No. 2, while Tale of the Nine-Tailed, which aired special episodes, ranked at No. 3. JTBC’s new drama Live On debuted at No. 5. Attention was drawn to the fact that rookie actors like Hwang Minhyun and Choi Byung Chan starred in the drama, and many left cheering comments.
