New K-drama My Lovely Boxer still struggling to find its audience in prime KBS2 time slot
The new South Korean drama My Lovely Boxer, Episode 2 aired last night on KBS2 to even lower ratings than its first episode, and seemingly proving the sports-themed drama is still struggling to find an audience.
According to Nielsen Korea, My Lovely Boxer, Episode 2 earned 1.8 percent of the audience nationwide, which is down from the 2.0 percent the drama garnered for its first episode.
A rating for Episode 1 that was already the lowest of any drama in that time slot on KBS2 this year.
And a true shame as, if people bail on this well-done drama after just the first episode, they will miss what already appears to be a drama that will drastically improve with each new episode if Episode 2 is anything to go by.
Of course, the 12-episode drama does still have 10 more episodes to air.
Let’s hope than that enough people give the drama a second chance going forward so that My Lovely Boxer will be able to recover enough in order to dramatically improve its audience share.
