Will 'When the Stars Gossip' Recover From Its Shocking 2% Ratings? 500-Billion KRW Drama Struggles to Gain Viewership
When the Stars Gossip is facing a tough battle as its ratings continue to decline, leaving many to wonder if it can recover.
Despite its massive 500 billion KRW budget and a year-long production process, the drama’s viewership has been steadily dropping since its premiere.
The first two episodes of the show had relatively modest ratings, with 3.3% for episode one and 3.9% for episode two.
However, the third episode, which aired on January 11th, saw a sharp drop to just 2.2%, according to Nielsen Korea.
At this rate, the drama is on the verge of falling below 1% in viewership, which would be a serious blow for the production.
The drama’s star-studded cast, featuring Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, hasn’t been enough to stop the slide in ratings.
As the show tries to maintain its momentum, the question remains: Can When the Stars Gossip bounce back, or will its viewership continue to sink?
With such a big budget and high expectations, viewers are still holding out hope for a recovery, but the drama’s future is uncertain unless ratings start climbing.
