• “Forecasting Love and Weather” Ratings Dip Amidst Competition With “Twenty Five Twenty One” Become Less Appealing to the Viewers

    Despite having a good start, Park Min Young’s drama has become less appealing to the viewers among hot K-dramas in March.

    After airing the newest episode on the evening of March 12th, “Forecasting Love and Weather”, starring Park Min Young and Song Kang, continued to show poor performance with no new developments and witness a decrease in rating. In particular, its rating dropped to only 6.5% from 7.5% recorded in the 8th episode.

    With its impressive start, “Forecasting Love and Weather” was expected to be the savior of JTBC. However, the drama seems to be losing its heat. There are not many new or unexpected developments in the story and it only centers around the romance of a couple who has been hurt by their past relationships.

    Among all the dramas with interesting content aired this March, “Forecasting Love and Weather” is becoming less appealing to the viewers.

    Meanwhile, tvN’s “Twenty Five Twenty One” has successfully maintained its No. 1 position compared to dramas in the same time slot. 

    The latest episode of the series has achieved an average nationwide rating of 10.6%, taking the number one spot for the series on all channels, even including public ones.

    Twenty Five Twenty One” also continues to hold the top spot during its airtime, with a key demographic of viewers aged 20 to 49, with a national average score of 6.4%. 

    In the latest episode, the misunderstanding between the two female characters was resolved, and Baek Yi Jin also fully realized his special feelings for Hee Doo.

    Another drama, which also airs on Saturday night, – Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) 3 has achieved a record rating of 7.8% for the latest episode, continuing the perfect streak for its 3rd season.

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.
