JTBC's New Drama “Man to Man,” which took over the time slot that was previously occupied by super popular “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,” has surpassed its viewer ratings for its first episode.
“Man to Man” aired its first episode April 21 and recorded an average viewer rating of 4.055% nationwide. Previously, “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” recorded an viewer rating of 3.829% for its first episode and, by surpassing this percentage, “Man to Man” has recorded the highest viewer rating for a first drama episode ever for JTBC.
The success of the first episode of “Man to Man” was possible because of actor Park Hae Jin (because his previous drama cheese in the trap was a huge success), who plays the lead role of undercover agent Kim Sul Woo. The refreshingly unique narrative, the compelling characters, and impressive action scenes have drawn viewers into the spy drama that isn’t really a spy drama.
Park Hae Jin recently talked about how his role in “Man to Man” stands out from his other roles and his co-star actor Park Sung Woong joked about having too many lines in “Man to Man.” & “Our drama has sadness, romance, and action. The viewers will be able to watch it comfortably.”
During the drama’s press conference on April 18, Park Sung Woong said, “I play a confident yet prickly character this time. This is my first time playing this kind of role, but I think the character has been created well and the viewers will like it.”
“Man to Man” is about secret agents who protect celebrities, and the hidden men that follow these skilled agents. Park Sung Woong will be playing a tough star named Yeo Woon Kwang.
