SEOUL, May 11 (Yonhap) --The criminal investigation drama "Bad Prosecutor," which featured cool action moves ended with a view rate of 6%. 

According to Nielsen Korea, on Friday, the last episode of KBS 2TV's "Bad Prosecutor," which aired on November 10 at 9:50 p.m., recorded a view rate of 6.3%.
 
In the final episode, prosecutor Jin-jung (played by Do Kyung-soo) takes Seo Hyun-kyu (Kim Chang-wan), who held power and shook the political and business circles, to the court and sentences him to death.
 
Jin-jung, who finally returned to Division Three of Detective, was sent back to the civil service office, but he gets a request to investigate some cases that are difficult to deal with for his own reasons.
 
In a sea of courtroom dramas, "Bad Prosecutor" tried to stand out by making the prosecutor the main character, who runs around using various expedients and tricks to punish the evil.
 
Jin-jung shows action scenes, bringing around his wooden sword, faking reports that there is a bomb installed in a flight to stop the flight, and trespassing different places without a search warrant in order to hide evidence.
 
There were opinions saying that the development of the story was too stereotypical and some scenes were absurd, but there were also opinions saying that it was relieving to see how the rebellious prosecutor broke the corruption of the power holders.

Most of all, the acting of Do Kyoung-soo, who came back after his discharge from the military, was on point. He played the role of a prosecutor with a cheesy image and led the center of the play by performing cool action scenes and emotional acting. Kim Chang-wan, who appeared as a creepy villain with two faces, also added to the sharp tension.
 
Meanwhile, the view rate of the final episode of tvN's drama "Love in Contract," which aired at 10:30 p.m. on the same day, was 3.1%.
 
Choi Sang-eun (Park Min-young), who has been taking customers who want to get a fake marriage, gets married with Jung Ji-ho (Ko Kyung-pyo), who was one of her clients, at the end of the final episode.
 
Kang Hae-jin (Kim Jae-young), who went straight to his first love Choi Sang-eun, eventually returned to the entertainment industry and continued what he wanted to do, whereas Choi Sang-eun's best friend and homosexual Woo Kwang-nam (Kang Hyung-seok) decided to reconcile with his family and work towards his dream of becoming a singer in Korea.
 
"Love in Contract" is a romantic comedy that gained attention with the new concept of marriage under contract.Park Min-young played Choi Sang-eun, who is cheerful on the outside but was hurt before, while Ko Kyung-pyo and Kim Jae-young also expressed their roles in an attractive way.

 

However, the view rate dropped to 2% from 4% as Park Min-young's dating scandal was reported.
