Honey Lee, ‘Miko True’ He is the first person to win an acting award..’Chestnut Flower’ Meaning of exceeding 10% [Oh!Shen Letter]

[OSEN=Reporter Jang Woo-young] ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’ surpassed double-digit viewership ratings after only three episodes. This is a faster record than ‘Lovers’ and ‘The Fierce Woman Park’s Contract Marriage’, proving that Honey Lee’s comic action drama has worked again following ‘The Passionate Priest’ and ‘Wonder Woman’. With this momentum, attention is being paid to whether Lee Ha-nui will become the first Miss Korea actress to win the acting grand prize.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company, on the 20th, the 3rd episode of MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’ (written by Lee Sam, Myeong-in Lee, directed by Tae-yu Jang, Jeong-in Choi, and Chang-woo Lee), which aired on the 19th, recorded a nationwide viewer rating of 10.8%.

This is a record that ranks first not only among Friday-Saturday dramas but also among all programs on all domestic TV channels that aired that day. This is a 2.6% point increase from the 8.2% recorded in episode 3, which aired on the 13th. In addition, the scene where Cho Yeo-hwa (Lee Honey) and Park Soo-ho (Lee Jong-won) save an old man from a collapsing wall recorded the highest viewership rating of 12.3%, and in particular, it recorded 3% in the 2049 viewership rating, which is a key indicator for advertisers and a key indicator of channel competitiveness. did.

Above all, it is encouraging that the viewership ratings are rising faster than the previous works ‘Lovers’ and ‘Yeolnyeo Park’s Contract Marriage’. ‘Lovers’, starring Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin, started with a viewer rating of 5.4% and exceeded 10.6% after 7 episodes, with the highest rating being 12.9%. Lee Se-young and Bae In-hyuk’s passionate performance of ‘Veign Woman Park’s Contract Marriage’ had a higher first broadcast viewership rating (5.6%) than ‘Lovers’, but ended up failing to reach double digits and ended with the highest rating of 9.6%.

‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’ is heating up the living room by depicting the spectacular double life of Jo Yeo-hwa (Lee Honey), who is a widow during the day and does righteous work while wearing a mask at night. As a married widow, in a society that forces voluntary obedience and sacrifice, Jo Yeo-hwa, who wants to live only as ‘me’ and with a burning sense of justice, wears a mask at night and does righteous deeds, drawing a consensus with home viewers by portraying an independent female image. is forming.

In particular, as the saying goes, ‘Lee Honey did it,’ what stands out is that she acts like a fish in water through comical action dramas. Lee Ha-nui has previously demonstrated action, comedy, and acting skills in ‘The Fierce Priest’ and ‘Wonder Woman.’ It is evaluated that Lee Ha-nui’s potential, which is ‘unbeaten at the box office’, has been showing off from the beginning of ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’ and is strongly attracting viewers.

With Lee Ha-nui’s great performance, attention is being paid to whether the former Miss Korea Jin will become the first actress to win the acting grand prize. You might think she’s excited because there are still about 10 months left until the awards ceremony, but her steep rise in viewership ratings and rave reviews for her acting are enough to raise her expectations.

It is not that a former Miss Korea actress has never won the grand prize at an acting award. Go Hyun-jung, Miss Korea in 19898, won the MBC and SBS acting awards for ‘Queen Seondeok’ in 2009 and ‘Daemul’ in 2010, respectively. Kim Nam-joo, who was Miss Korea in 1992 from Gyeonggi Province, also won the MBC and KBS acting awards for ‘Queen of Housewives’ in 2010 and ‘You Who Rolled in on the Vine’ in 2012, and Lee Bo-young, who was Miss Korea in Daejeon and Chungnam in 2000, also won in 2013. Won the Best Acting Award at SBS for ‘I Hear Your Voice’. However, since they were not from Miss Korea, the position of the winner of the acting grand prize from the real Miss Korea was vacant.

Actors who have previously been Miss Korea include Kim Seong-ryeong (1988), Oh Hyun-kyung (1989), Kim Sa-rang (2000), and Lee Ha-nui (2006). Among them, no actor has yet received the grand prize, and Lee Ha-nui is considered the closest. And Lee Ha-nui is approaching the powerful title of ‘the first grand prize winner from Miss Korea’ by capturing both her viewer ratings and acting skills with ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’.

MBC’s ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’, in which Lee Ha-nui is active, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM. /elnino8919@osen.co.kr
