According to Nielsen Korea, the 6th episode of the South Korean drama 'Today's Webtoon' which aired Friday-Saturday and starred Kim Se Jeong and Nam Yoon Su recorded an average rating of 2.8 percent nationwide. According to kbizoom, this rating is the lowest rating for 'Today's Webtoon' in its first six episodes.
In addition, this rating is also recorded as the lowest rating for SBS's Friday-Saturday dramas in the last 3 years. From the start, 'Today's Webtoon' was feared that it would not be successful because Kim Se Jeong was judged to be returning to acting too soon during his role as Shin Hari's character in the hit drama 'Business Proposal,' which also aired on SBS earlier this year 2021.
In addition, although 'Today's Webtoon' is a remake of the popular Japanese drama 'Sleepeeer Hit!,' it seems that this drama is not getting enough support from fans of the original work. 'Today's Webtoon' received poor reviews because the story only focuses on the growth of the main character, On Ma Eum and does not reveal the individuality of the characters around it.
So far, 'Today's Webtoon' can be said to be inferior to dramas with the same airing slot, namely MBC's ' Big Mouth ', starring Lee Jong Suk and Im YoonA. In contrast to 'Today's Webtoon,' according to Nielsen Korea, the 6th episode of the drama 'Big Mouth' achieved an average nationwide rating of 10.8 percent.
This gain shows an increase from the previous episode which achieved a rating of 9.8 percent. 'Big Mouth' itself is a noir genre drama that tells the story of a lawyer named Park Chang Ho who is involved in a case and is accused of being a reliable conman who is nicknamed 'Big Mouse'.
Lee Jong Suk's acting skills depicting Park Chang Ho's complex emotional changes such as confusion, anger, despair, and frustration also received positive reviews. Meanwhile, although the rating of 'Today's Webtoon' is at its lowest point at the moment, the first episode of this drama received a fairly large rating of 4.1 percent. This gain can be a hope for this drama to rise through the remaining 10 episodes.
