SBS's new variety show "Biseojin" showcased the power of the pairing of Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu.
The Friday SBS variety show "My manager who is too prickly for me - Biseojin" (hereafter "Biseojin"), which premiered on the 3rd, ranked first in its time slot overall with a household rating of 5.4%, a peak of 6.7%, and a 2049 target rating of 1.5% (Seoul metropolitan area), signaling a smooth start.
In addition, from the first broadcast it ranked No. 2 overall and No. 1 in the variety category on Netflix's "Today's Korea TOP series," proving explosive online popularity. The realistic, up-close caregiving by managers in their 50s and the everyday-life chemistry of Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu are receiving warm responses from viewers.
Meanwhile, on the Friday, 10th broadcast of SBS's "Biseojin," actor Uhm Ji-won will appear as the second "My star." Uhm Ji-won captivated living rooms this year with the popular dramas "When Life Gives You Tangerines" and "For Eagle Brothers," and she is expected to show special chemistry with "Biseojin" through her distinctive charisma and wit.
The connection between Uhm Ji-won and Kim Kwang-kyu is particularly noteworthy. The two worked together in the 2003 film "Doggy" and the 2019 drama "Spring Is Coming, I Guess," raising expectations for this meeting.
In the previously released preview video, Uhm Ji-won is seen sternly scolding the managers in their 50s, saying, "Oppa should come out first and move the car!" and "You're the manager—how can you ask me!" Viewers reacted explosively, saying, "Finally someone who will handle things like catching a rat," and "The more they boss them around, the funnier it will be."
In this episode, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu provide close care for Uhm Ji-won, who served as the presenter of the 30th Busan International Film Festival's "BIFF Mecenat Award." In particular, the tailored caregiving continued, with Lee Seo-jin personally escorting Uhm Ji-won the moment she stepped onto the red carpet. The full story of what efforts Biseojin made for My star Uhm Ji-won will be revealed through the broadcast.
Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu's close caregiving trip will air on Friday the 10th at 11:10 p.m. on SBS's "Biseojin."
