The OCN drama’Amazing Rumors’ flew again. The 12th broadcast broadcast on the 10th exceeded 10% (based on Nielsen Korea), and broke the record for OCN dramas. Netflix also retakes the top 10 content in Korea today and is running the highest stock price in the Internet video service (OTT) channel.

‘Gyeongso’ from data, the decisive herbal medicine

The 12 marvelous rumors broadcast on the 10th recorded 10.58% of the nationwide audience rating (based on Nielsen Korea), setting the highest audience rating since the founding of OCN. In particular, it can be seen as an unusual record considering that none of the OCN dramas exceeded the audience rating of 10%.

The trend of viewership by episode is also on a steady rise. At the time when the narratives of the major characters in the 1st to 4th episodes were fully unfolded, the audience rating increased by more than 1% each time, and although it was stagnant in the 5th episode, it rebounded from the 6th episode, the highest viewership rating of the previous’Voice 2 (7.1%)’ It broke the record.

In episode 6, which recorded the highest viewership rating, the counters’ family revealed their identity in front of’No Chang-gyu (played by Jun Jin-oh Jeon)’ who stabbed’Gamo-tak (played by Jun-sang Yoo)’. After’Rumor (played by Cho Byeong-gyu)’ learned the shocking truth about the death of his parents, the scene where he looked at the scene of the accident 7 years ago with the help of’Do Hana (played by Kim Se-jeong)’ became another turning point, the driving force behind the high ratings It is an analysis that played a role.

In the 8th episode, which exceeded 9% of the viewership rating, the scene of killing the evil spirit attached to Dohana’s uncle’Song Man-ho (played by Kim Gwang-sik)’ and the activity of Counters approaching the identity of’Reservoir’ continued. In particular, in the last scene, rumors appear to have amplified expectations by depicting a figure suggesting an unavoidable confrontation with Ji Cheong-sin.

Since then, the crisis situation that blocked Counters, including rumors, and the counterattack of the demons unfolded one after another, but in terms of viewership, they repeatedly fluctuated. A big episode was in progress due to the flow of the play, but the audience rating of the 11th episode showed a stagnation at 8%. However, in the next episode 12, a reversal took place.

In Episode 12, Counters’ remarkable counterattack began. The contents of Counters, who reached a turning point in the wake of a series of incidents, unfolded revenge against a huge evil entity. In particular, in the 13th preview, it was revealed that rumors and Jicheongsin face another face, raising expectations.

The phenomenal rumor has also newly established the value of the content that Netflix serves. It proved that there are many viewers who want to watch the nth and many viewers after the broadcast by pushing out the Netflix original series’Sweet Home’, which has recently received word of mouth.

A leap that is not over yet

The marvelous rumor deals with the story of unsung heroes who can punish a demon in exchange for giving a person in a state of’coma’ (unconsciousness) to live the present life.

On the surface, it is’a story of heroes who run a noodle shop and hide their identity and fight against evil spirits’, but the story behind it is that it deals with the life and death of humans. The harsh option of fighting evil spirits for the continuation of life is the management method of the underworld to destroy the evil spirits. It can be seen as a cruel act of smacking in the way of’no touching and blowing nose’ rather than the superficial value to prevent peace and unfortunate sacrifices in the human world.

The rumor that appeared in this situation is a kind of’rule breaker’. Everyone accepts the counter as a condition of prolonging their lives, but the only rumor is that the contract is alive.

There is a reward for healing a sore leg, but it is obvious that the reward is small compared to other counters out of the coma. It also shows the selfishness of attempting to deprive the counter when his existence is threatened after placing an additional condition to allow him to meet his parents. Chu Mae-ok, Gamo-Tak, and Dohana, who had been advocating for rumors, were simply weak humans in front of the under-rides of high positions. This is because the law of the underworld is an important factor that determines life and death for those who have their lives secured.

Nevertheless, rumors endure adversity. Even considering that it is a dramatic device for the protagonist to awaken, rumors do not show any limits unlike other characters. As Gamotak’s screaming, “Why put the main striker on the bench and put everyone in danger,” the rumors will take a step further. The underworld’s law, which warned not to engage in human affairs, is also expected to take another leap as counters and rumors collide head-on with’the desire of a human being more cruel than a demon’. This is why we look forward to the high-altitude march of marvelous rumors. Considering the setting that the potential of rumors is infinite, we can expect a special story of drama content that is different from the original webtoon.
