I really enjoyed S1 but there was a lot of big flaw in the writing (esp mid-way onward). Hopefully this season becomes more consistent in terms of writing.
There's always 2 sides of a story. There's the Right side. The Wrong side. and What's in the middle. Public sentiment…
Exactly. Like this happens all the time. He was obviously offered the role in early draft and the writer and the director could've made changes to the script itself which didn't suit the actor which is why they didn't sign him in the end. And without a contract, they do not have any obligation toward the actor.
No one is going to watch this garbage after you humiliated Heo Jung Min and just fired him for no reason after…
They didn't even make a comment about his appearance, don't make up stuff. Roles get recasted all the time, it's normal in this industry. It happens in every film industry worldwide. Also until a contract is signed, they have no obligations toward the actor. Midway through the pre-production, they could've made changes to the writing which didn't suit the actor. It's a very common thing.
No it's not, since there is no other show that has those views now. Also 14% is good looking at other shows.
And this is also a melodrama, a genre everyone and their granny likes. To top it off, it's from a very popular series, one of the most successful TV series in SK. IDK what point you're trying to make but it's not landing.

If we're talking about currently airing dramas, you're not correct as well.
The Real Has Come has viewer rating of 18-20% consistently and viewership averages 3.2mil.
Besides that, how good the other shows are doing is not related to how well this show will do because Fri-Sat has no other drama airing in this timeslot to take away its viewership.
Fact is Dr Romantic S3 is not doing THAT well ratings wise. It's not bad, but it's a huge drop from S1 and S2. They expected it to do better and it's not.

The last drama in this timeslot (Taxi Driver S2) literally had peak of 18% by its 14th episode and hit 21% on the finale with viewership reaching 3.4mil by the 14 ep and 4mil by the finale.
It was 14.8 (ep13), 14.9(ep14) only 0.1 increased... But the heading is misleading like it crossed 20 or something
What's even MORE bleak is the viewership didn't actually change. Due to the other shows pulling in less household viewership, the rating for this rose. The total number of household viewers remained the same in Ep 13 and ep 14, both had viewership of 2.8mil.
"Through the roof" is a huge ass exaggeration. 14.8-14.9% is an average rating for a hit franchise like this. The 1st and 2nd season was hitting 20%+ atp. It's plain fact that this season is struggling compared to the prev season.
The show got way more interesting since #that man left and KDJ made his entrance. KDJ is a far more interesting and better written character than Seo Woojin. Seo Woojin feels like a Gary Stu compared to KDJ who has more dimensions to him.
I think this was done on purpose because at the end of the day, this show is about Dr. Cha finding her happiness…
So we agree on that. And you misunderstood me, I'm not a Jeongsok-Roy shipper at all. What bothers me about this whole thing is, they turned Roy's whole personality into "Cha's cheerleader". He had no personality and depth outside of being supportive of Cha. He was a complete caricature. A good writer COULD have written him in a way that makes him a support system for Cha WHILE also giving him an actual personality, which he lacked.
And my biggest gripe of this drama is they underscored the whole premise to redeem Inho, which they did in a horrendously abrupt way. His "redemption" was so badly written, it came out of nowhere and he faced no consequences over his actions. They also sacrificed Cha's own character development to do this because after she found out about his affair, her development went down the drain until the ending.
Kang San is such a darling, it bothers me that he's surrounded by such annoying people. Not a single one of these people deserve having him in their life SMH From his father, daughter, mother in law, brother in law, to his friends like not a single one of these people deserve him.

That's not true though, many great writers can give great depth to their characters even if they were created as a plot device. This writer on the other hand didn't seem to have the ability to do the same so MOST characters on the show was very shallow and hardly had any character development. They were all caricatures of tropes rather than a character with their own story and personality, which is why the drama ended up being this way.
