Starting from episode 11, the ratings of "Secret Garden" are as hot as it is in the media and the Internet, rising sharply! When it was played by episode 14, the ratings exceeded 5o%, reaching 5o.3%, leaving all the TV series broadcast at the same time far behind, becoming a unique TV series at the end of 2o1o year, and successfully fulfilling the media's prediction at the beginning of the broadcast, becoming Lee Junyi's third TV series with a rating of more than 5o%.
No one expected that the viewership rate of "Secret Garden" only took three episodes to go from 4o% to 5o%. It can only be said that "Secret Garden" has become a phenomenon now, showing the power of national TV series. I still remember that the "Witch's Condition" was widely discussed in the society because it involved the taboo topic of teacher-student love. So why is this time?
Someone has summarized several reasons, one is the strength of the cast; the second is that Kim Eun-sook's script breaks various past conventions; the third is that the actors' choice is correct, which coincides with the characters in the play, and the lines are full of witty remarks; the most important thing is that the fourth is because love is an indispensable part of everyone's life. In the play, you can always find the shadows of your own experience. Even Kim Soo-won and Jirolin, every warm little detail can become the sweetest memory in the couple's heart.
Of course, some people also said that the reason is actually one: Lee Junyi has a strong appeal. This is obviously a blind trust in Lee Junyi's effect, and there is also a joking element.
But no matter what the reason is, "Secret Garden" has succeeded and achieved incredible success. As a TV series work that has been produced by Lee Junyi after two years, countless people have amazed. At the same time, someone has questioned before that Lee Junyi's exhibition in the United States is smooth and it is really unwise to suddenly run back to South Korea to shoot a TV series, but now, all of these doubts are obediently shutting their mouths.
Just like Lee Junyi taking on the filming of "Hangover", "Five Hundred Days with Shamo", and "Single Man", Lee Junyi always does his own way when choosing works, but no matter how many doubts there are, Lee Junyi always speaks the truth, slapped the face on these questioning faces and told them: I, Lee Junyi, don't need you to point fingers to plan my future for me!
After the fourteenth episode successfully entered the national TV series, the pace of "Secret Garden" has not stopped. When it was seventeenth episode, it created a new history and became the first peak TV series with a rating of over 60% in the past fifteen years.
At the beginning of episode 17, everyone thought that Kim Eun-sook had gone back to the old routine. Korean dramas include Sanbao, Car Accident, Cancer and Stepmother. This time, "Secret Garden" also staged a bloody plot. While filming a car accident stunt, Girolin was interrupted by a vehicle from outside and caused a real car accident. She didn't wake up and became a vegetable.
All the audience couldn't help but start cursing, saying that the scene was blocked when shooting car accident stunts, where did foreign vehicles come from? This is purely a plot written for the plot! But no matter how scolded, no one was willing to turn the table. Girolin was lying on the bed and became a vegetable. What would Kim Youzhi do? Everyone remembers that Kim Youzhi told his mother that when I was going to die for this woman, it would be too late to wake me up again. So, can Kim Youzhi still calm down and rationally at this time? What would he choose to do, and what would his witch mother do? Obviously, the blood is bloody, but the plot does reach a **, which makes people unable to stop.
Facts have proved that the reason why Kim Eun-sook is known as the five major Korean screenwriters is that she does have the ability to turn decay into magic. She has shown it once in "on.air", and this time she has reached the peak in "Secret Garden". Kim Eun-sook used all the vulgar plots in Korean dramas, such as the mother of the male and female protagonists who came out to destroy, such as the class differences between the male and female protagonists, and car accidents, and the amnesia that is so vulgar that it cannot be more vulgar. But, Kim Eun-sook can examine it from another perspective, and even make jokes, which makes you not only not disgusted, but also feel quite fresh when you see it. The smile on the corner of your mouth can't help but pull it open. The vulgar jokes are expelled from the weirdness, which is really admirable!
Seeing Jirolin who became a vegetative person and fell into a coma, Kim Soo-won made his own choice. As long as it gets wet in the rain, the souls of the two of them will be exchanged. Kim Soo-won chose to exchange his life for his lover Jirolin's life. He wanted to hold Jirolin and break into the rain. In this way, Jirolin's soul can enter Kim Soo-won's body and live forever.
Because of love, Jin Chi became mature. He said goodbye to everyone, sent flowers to his mother, and attached an introductory confession; gave gifts to his brother, and expressed his deep gratitude for the past few years; wrote a long letter to Jirolin and made his final advice.
He succeeded, successfully made his mother happy, successfully moved Oscar, successfully rescued Girolin, and successfully moved all the audience.
Kim Soo-won's unpretentious manor was already covered with snow. Jin Youchi, wearing a pink cardigan, sat on the white sand in the lobby of his home, holding a fountain pen and writing word by word.
"I will first declare that you are the only alienated neighbor who received the first letter written by Kim Soo-won, the last letter from the social guidance. So, you can be proud of it. This afternoon, the wind is very strong, I hope that when you see this letter, it is also an afternoon when branches sway in the wind. So, I hope you can see these scenery I have seen; you stand by the window I have stood; you lie down on the bed I have lying; you read the books I have read... If we can use this method, if so, we will be together. Just like other ordinary lovers, as happy as other ordinary lovers..."
Lee Jun-yi's slightly awkward Korean writing was written in front of the camera word by word. At this time, he was either Lee Jun-yi, but Kim Soo-won, the Kim Soo-won who loved Jirolin with his life. The tears couldn't stop, and they slid down one by one between the slender eyelashes. He wanted to cry loudly, but before the letter was finished, he could only pursed his lips and prevented himself from crying. Tears dripped onto the letter paper, and a beautiful black and white flower appeared. After crying, even breathing became difficult. Tears filled his face. Even if they were embarrassed, they made people feel distressed and painful.
When Lee Junyi's moving voice sang "That man" and sounded softly in his ears, only Kim Soo-won's cry echoed in the TV series. At this time, all the audience sitting in front of the TV were crying loudly. Although his whole heart was tugged, he couldn't help biting his lips, not letting his crying sounds overflow, fearing that a little bit of the sound would become the culprit that destroyed this touching scene.
After that, Kim Youzhi ran to the hospital and carried out Gerolin who was still in a coma. The car was parked on the side of the road, and the dark clouds pressed the village. Kim Soo-won gave his final instructions to Gerolin who was snuggling on his shoulders: "Don't fall in love with any guy, you only think about me for the rest of your life, and live alone. Don't be too close to Choi Woo-young, you are close relatives. In my life, this will be the most selfish choice, but this is the choice of the social guidance layer, so please respect me. Gerolin, who has always been very handsome, must be handsome in the future." Even if it is confessed, he still has Kim Soo-won's unique domineering and stubbornness. Kim Soo-won printed the last kiss on his beloved forehead, "I will very much, miss you...I love you, I say I love you."
Then, he drove the car to the distance. At the end of the road, there was a haze, lightning and thunder. Everyone knew that the rain was coming, and Kim Soo-won used his life to exchange for the continuation of Jirolin's soul.
Episode 17 "Secret Garden" ended, but for the audience in front of the TV, it was not over. Everyone was crying loudly. So what if it was cliché, so what if it was just love, it could touch people's hearts. Not to mention the discussions in the news media on the Internet, workplace life, dining and gathering places, and "Secret Garden" have almost become a topic of discussion. Just a number of ratings is enough to prove the popularity of the show.
62%, this is another TV series in South Korea that has achieved such results in the past fifteen years. Even in the era when there were fewer early TV series and it was easy to create good ratings, this result was definitely the leader. The ratings of this episode can occupy one of the top ten in the historical rankings of Korean dramas, which is really amazing.
No one would have thought that a romantic TV series would create such amazing results, even if it was explained by the "Li Junyi effect". The reason why "Secret Garden" is so popular is due to the overall quality of the script and the cooperation of the entire crew, but all the media can only sigh that Li Junyi is indeed unmatched.
At the same time, Lee Junyi's efforts to put into Kim Soo-won's body are the effects, especially the scene of crying while writing a letter at the end. Some staff members revealed that Lee Junyi cried until she finally lost her strength during the filming and could not stop. It can be seen that she worked hard and devoted in filming this scene. There is no doubt that Lee Junyi's acting skills have been recognized by everyone, and his tears are enough to make countless audiences cry in their eyes. This is the power of acting.
The content of the 18 episodes on the second day, the ratings reached a new high, with a score of 65%, which made the media exclaim that "Secret Garden" would hit the terrible record of 70%?
Kim Soo-won's life exchange for another life successfully touched God. He and Jirolin both returned to their bodies, and neither of them was fine. However, Kim Soo-won lost his memory and had a vulgar memory. He returned to his 21-year-old. And Kim Soo-won, who was 21 years old, had taste and slutty bags, decent and turtle hair, wisdom and poisonous tongue. This contradictory charm stirred up the biggest spark and successfully inspired all the audience.
With a 65% viewership rate, now when the "Secret Garden" is broadcast, it is indeed crowded and spectacular.
