Kim Dong-wook, it was a double congratulation… 'Uh Mag' and 'Beneficial Scam' occupy the throne of Monday-Tuesday dramas
Actor Kim Dong-wook's passionate acting worked. Both 'Beneficial Fraud' and 'How I Ran into You' starring Kim Dong-wook, which are broadcast on the same day of the week, took first place in the same time slot and took the throne of the Monday-Tuesday drama.

Kim Dong-wook is the male lead in tvN's 'Beneficial Fraud' and KBS2's 'How I Ran into You' (hereinafter referred to as 'Uh Mag'). 'Euro fraud' airs at 8:50 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 'You, by chance' airs at 9:45 p.m. This means that the time overlaps by about 15 minutes. On the same day of the week, at the same time slot, the same actor took on the lead role.

The reason why Kim Dong-wook appeared overlapping was because the delayed formation of 'Uh Mag' was delayed. Originally, 'Uh Mag' was scheduled to be aired as a Wednesday-Thursday drama in January this year. However, while announcing that KBS would suspend the Wednesday-Thursday drama for the time being, it was announced that 'Uh Mag' was organized as a Monday-Tuesday drama. Eventually, 'Uh Mag' came out in May.

The 'Beneficial Fraud' side first confirmed the first broadcast on May 29th. At the time, KBS was pointed out as a problem with the organization of 'Uh Mag'. It was actor Kim Dong-wook who was in trouble. This is because if the main character of one drama appears overlapping in another drama, it can interfere with viewers' immersion.

Kim Dong-wook overcame the gaze of concern. 'Beneficial Fraud' and 'Uh Mag' each ranked first in viewership ratings in their time zone. The 4th episode of 'Beneficial Fraud', which aired on the 6th, broke its own record with an average of 5.1% for households in the metropolitan area, and recorded a maximum of 6.1%. The national household standard is also an average of 4.3% and a maximum of 5.1%.

The momentum of 'Uh Mag' is also not easy. The 12th viewership rating recorded 4.6% nationwide based on households, firmly maintaining the No. 1 spot in the same time slot.

Kim Dong-wook showed completely different characters in the two works. In 'Beneficial Fraud', she played the role of Han Moo-yeong, a lawyer who is overly sympathetic to and immersed in the feelings of others. It delicately portrays the client's work as if it were his own. Also, the chemistry with Chun Woo-hee, who is breathing together, adds to the fun of watching. The relationship between Lee Roum (Cheon Woo-hee), a genius swindler with opposite tendencies, was expressed in detail.

On the other hand, in 'Uh Mag', he played Yoon Hae-joon, who has a cool yet straightforward personality. Haejun Yoon travels back in time to 1987 to find the culprit who killed him. In the process, he naturally harmonized with the residents of Ujeong-ri and digested it with Kim Dong-wook's unique smirk and natural virtuous acting. The romance with actor Jin Ki-joo also thrilled viewers. In particular, in the last 12 episodes, Kim Dong-wook and Jin Ki-joo confirmed each other's feelings and carefully hugged each other.

It is also called the confrontation between Kim Dong-wook and Kim Dong-wook. Regarding the overlapping appearance controversy, he said, “Both works are attractive. Kim Dong-wook's wish came true. His charm, which will be shown in 'Uh Mag', which is about to end, and 'Beneficial Fraud', which is on the rise, still have a long way to go.
