Man To Man Surpasses Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Viewer Ratings for the first episode

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.

Park Bo Young Gets Hurt By Malicious Comments!

During an interview on April 19, Park Bo Young opened up about a relatable concern regarding compliments and criticism.


The actress admitted that she did read malicious comments. “I do get hurt by them, but I learn about things I do that people don’t like to see. I think about whether my voice is too whiny or if any of my actions make them uncomfortable. When they tell me I always look the same when I cry, I think of ways to cry differently,” she revealed.


She then shared about a specific concern. “When people compliment me, I don’t put much meaning into them, but when they say bad things, I take them too seriously. I try to fix this mentality but it’s hard. Personally, I think getting obsessed with yourself is the most dangerous thing. Since I’m a human being, I only want to hear nice things, but I feel like I would just end up believing them and getting obsessed with myself. I don’t want this to happen,” she expressed.


“Whenever people say nice things to me, I think they’re just saying them because I’m standing right in front of them. Even when I read articles that say good things about me, I forget about them right away. When I read about people pointing out my flaws, however, I think about them a lot,” she confessed.

But I am one of many citizens who were in pain after hearing news of the Sewol Ferry.”

I saw a quote online that said, ‘We cannot forget because it has not ended.’ There actually are students that still haven’t been able to go back to their families’ arms. I don’t think we should ever forget about the incident to support those beautiful students that were on Sewol Ferry.”
