It’s Pyunsoohwe’s leader, DAE-MOK ( Heo Joon-ho), whose voice explains the process for treating a flower with venom. The opening chryon describes the secret organization called Pyunsoohwe, which pre-existed the Joseon Dynasty and was composed of the architects and engineers of society, who have been wielding power from behind the scenes. Moreover, I cite these numbers out of interest, but don’t really place too much stock on them as signifiers of a drama’s value, since I do hear good things about both rival shows and intend to catch them at some point. For the record, I think subdividing episodes into multiple parts is needlessly complicated and silly. Note that this doesn’t actually change the content we’re getting, or how much of it will air it’s just that now we’ll be getting 40 half-hour “episodes” rather than 20 that are hourlong. KBS continued reporting a single number for Mystery Queen (8.7%), but SBS joined the party by reporting Suspicious Partner as two parts, with Episode 1’s Part 1 netting 6.3% and Part 2 drawing a 6.8%.įor that reason, we’re updating our recap titles to reflect the numbering change. So Ruler took first place with 9.7% ratings for Episode 1’s Part 1, and 11.6% for Part 2. You wouldn’t think it would be such a big deal to interrupt a show halfway through to play a minute or two of commercials, but MBC and SBS actually did the odd thing of making the commercial break particularly conspicuous, and divided their premiere episodes into “Part 1” and “Part 2” and even reported ratings separately for each half. What was unusual about the premieres was that the broadcasters put into motion something they’ve been talking about for a while, which is mid-episode commercial breaks (which cable stations have already been doing for a while). It was Ruler that emerged the winner of the initial ratings clash, bumping Mystery Queen into second, with Suspicious Partner in third. We had dual premieres this Wednesday, with MBC launching its romantic historical melodrama Ruler–Master of the Mask against SBS’s brand-new Suspicious Partner and KBS’s mid-series Mystery Queen. 208 Ruler–Master of the Mask: Episodes 1-2 by javabeans
