SEOUL, Feb. 7 (Yonhap) - "Our Blooming Youth," which introduced a fresh setting of "The Crown Prince Caught in Curses," has started at around 4% of viewing rate.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company on Tuesday, first episode of tvN's drama "Our Blooming Youth," which aired at 8:50 p.m. the previous day, had a rating of 4.2%.
"Our Blooming Youth" focused on drawing background narratives of the two main characters in the first episode.
The setting itself, in which the cursed prince sees the prophecy of the future like a hallucination, is interesting.
Crown Prince Lee Hwan (Park Hyungsik), who is rumored to be unable to use his right arm due to a ghost's curse, is confused by the red curse phrase that looks like a hallucination in front of him without notice, and struggles to calm the rumor and keep his position.
Min Jae-yi (Jeon Sonee), who was introduced as a genius girl who is talented in reasoning mysterious events, did not show any significant charm in the first episode.
Some say that the actor's acting skills were disappointing, although she was pointed out as the culprit of the murder of a family member overnight and ran away in a hurry.
Some say that she lacked acting skills to watch her family, who was dying of blood vomiting, in her arms helplessly, and to digest the deep emotional acting that she had to run away to live without being able to hold a funeral.
From the beginning, "Our Blooming Youth" has chosen to build up narratives rather than showing a powerful shot that would catch viewers' attention.
The chemistry of Min Jae-yi and Lee Hwan, who dress up as a man and protect the crown prince, and the fun of the mystery drama that the two will make by solving the case together are the points to watch for the success or failure of the work.
