"The First Man" has been extended by 20 episodes thanks to its popularity, and it set a new series-high rating of 6%.
According to ratings firm Nielsen Korea on the 28th, episode 93 of the MBC daily drama "The First Man," which aired on the 27th, recorded 6% nationwide households and 5.8% in the Seoul metropolitan area. In this regard, MBC said "the momentary peak rating surged to 6.4%, marking a new series high for "The First Man"."
"The First Man" is a drama that depicts a deadly showdown between a woman who lives another person's life for revenge and a woman who stole another person's life for her own desires. Actress Ham Eunjung, formerly of girl group T-ara, attracted attention as her first role since marrying film director Kim Byung-woo in November last year.
Thanks to this, "The First Man" not only proved its real box-office value by consistently ranking at the top of IPTV VOD charts after broadcast, but also achieved outstanding results on the TV-OTT buzz index, rivaling miniseries. As a result, MBC previously announced a 20-episode extension for "The First Man."
In this context, "The First Man" newly set its own highest rating at 6%. At a time when the broadcasting industry is slumping and serials have been neglected in home theaters, "The First Man" is writing new records, and attention is focused on the outcome. <
