When the ratings of the drama’Penthouse 2’slowed, an analysis of this appeared.
On the 13th, an online community posted a post of “Penthouse Season 2, where viewers responded badly and the ratings fell. SBS drama’Penthouse 2′, which is showing the most topicality in history, started with 17.9% of the nationwide rating and reached 24.65% in the 6th episode last week. In terms of the metropolitan area, it was 25.15%. Then, the broadcast on the 12th, a week later, showed a 21.5% rating on a national standard.
After showing a steadily rising trend, when the audience rating declined, community users analyzed four reasons. The content became a hot topic online with a lot of sympathy.
The first reason is’the death of good, sinless roles’.
In the drama last week, Bae Rona (played by Kim Hyun-soo) died. Following Min Seol-ah and Shim Su-ryun last season, many viewers showed embarrassment as the innocent Baerona died. Complaints were raised about the situation in which good roles continue to die without progress in the case.
The second reason is’Chun Seo-jin’s character’s fascination.’
In Season 1, her acting role as a mad villain was praised for her acting ability and increased immersion in the drama. However, in season 2, only the scene where Cheon Seo-jin (played by Kim So-yeon) is hot-tempered appears more than three times in one episode, giving them boredom. In Season 2, where the distinction between good and bad characters was clear, the narrative about Cheon Seo-jin became excessive, so the viewers’ opinion is that the attractiveness has declined.
The third reason is’excessive force setting’.
Suddenly, Cheon Seo-jin doesn’t eat SIM cards, but Ha Eun-byul (Choi Ye-bin) injects a drug that deletes memories for a short period of time to avoid the police investigation because he is sick. Regarding this, the viewer pointed out that “however it is a drama that proceeds with’purity allowance’, if the force continues, the viewers will get tired of it.”
The last reason is’It’s lukewarm.’
Viewers say that season 2 has progressed more than the middle and that they are still pledged for revenge. As the revenge characters are moving without progress, the viewer’s point of view is that the reaction to the characters without progress is worse than the villains.
Therefore, it is expected that the key will be how Lee Ji-ah’s role, returning to Na-ae-gyo, will change the flow of the play.
The posting of this content got sympathy from the online community. Users “Give me some cider”, “I don’t understand the words “permissive innocent”, “Is it Kabangkwon?”, “I played it yesterday and did something different”, “Chun Seojin keeps crying and begging as if they are the most pitiful. I got off by boat or after I died.” Back reaction.
On the other hand “I’m having fun. It’s a little less rushing, but it’s a little bit less probable, but I’m looking forward to seeing acting because it looks like it’s going to be fun today”, “I’m looking forward to it because it’s going to be fun anyway. There is also a reaction.
