The reason why ‘Flower Scholar’s Love Story’ is on the rise in viewership ratings
SBS's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Flower Scholar's Love Story' is a series of tangled events involving Yoon Dan-oh (Shin Ye-eun), the owner of 'Gaekju Summer Palace', and Kang San (Ryeowoon), Kim Si-yeol (Kang Hoon), and Jeong Yu-ha (Jung Geon-ju), whose deceased descendant, Lee Seol-im, is revealed. It gave an extreme sense of immersion while playing. Episodes 14, 15, and 16 have consecutively ranked first in viewership ratings for dramas in their time slot.
'Flower Scholar's Love Story' ranked high in real-time search terms immediately after it was broadcast, and the 'real-time talk' that pours in like a storm every time it is broadcast proves the high interest of viewers. In relation to this, we analyzed three reasons why we can't help but be enthusiastic about 'Flower Scholar's Love Story' until the very end.
■ 1. Ending Restaurant: Tears - twists - shocks - spooky, a complete collection of 'intense endings'!
‘Flower Scholar’s Love Story’ is shaking up the small screens with a powerful ending that sticks in your mind every time. In particular, the 'tearful reunion' ending of Episode 8, which opened the second act in earnest, reveals the fate of the two by revealing that Lee Seol, a descendant of the deceased who escaped from the palace a dozen years ago, was Kang San, and that the young girl who saved Kang San was Yoon Dan Oh. Emphasis, it brought excitement. In addition, in episode 10, it was revealed that the watchman who had been shrouded in mystery was Kim Si-yeol, and Kim Si-yeol caused a reversal by politely saying, “I come to see you, master,” which is 180 degrees different from usual. Also, in episode 12, Kang San found out that Jeong Yu-ha, the head of the Mokinhoe, was a hidden brother who was trying to ascend the throne in his name, and the ending where the two had a shocking face-to-face encounter increased tension. And in the ending of episode 15, Lee Chang (Hyeonwoo), who had been knocked down by an arrow shot by Kang San, suddenly opened his eyes at the end, creating an eerie scene. In addition, this led to Lee Chang's cruel runaway in episode 16, drawing attention.
■ 2. Reversal character: A twist at the beginning and end of the play! Three-dimensional character!
One of the reasons why 'Flower Scholar's Love Story' gains more momentum towards the end is because of the 'three-dimensional characters' that cause various 'reversals'. Yoon Dan-oh, who was very 'fresh and cheeky' in the beginning of the play, gradually grew fond of Kang-san and revealed a delicate side that was riddled with anxiety. He supported Kang-san's cause and showed his true nature as a 'gang inside and out.' Kang San, who showed the essence of a 'cha-dong man' in the beginning of the drama, surprised people by walking straight like a 'real lover' instead of 'tsundere', which is why he confessed that he was Lee Seol, a descendant of a wealthy family. Kim Si-yeol, who appeared in the beginning as 'Chosun's Hanryang', exudes a lonely charm that is frustrated by his lonely fate after it is revealed that he is a watchman. Lastly, Jeong Yoo-ha showed a twist by transforming from a 'sweet guy' who was always kind and gentle to an 'ambitious person' who takes the lead in changing the world.
■ 3. A feast of famous lines: Maximization of firm determination and heartbreaking romance!
'The Love Story of a Flower Scholar' aroused sympathy with a feast of memorable lines. As a 'mystery close romance', the lines that maximize the strong determination and heartbreaking romance conveyed emotion and excitement to the small screen. First, in episode 11, Yoon Dan-oh said to Kang San, “I will be with you. She received great support from viewers by expressing her independent confidence even in the face of love, saying, “I am by your brother’s side.” Then, in episode 12, Kang San informed Yoon Dan-oh of his cause and said, “Do you know what I’m more afraid of than dying? “I’m losing my person again,” he said, his heart pounding. Moreover, in episode 13, Kim Si-yeol said to Yoon Hong-joo (Cho Hye-joo), “I may be a different person, but my heart is sincere without any lies. The earnest confession, “I love you,” expressed the climax of a heartbreaking romance.
The production team said, “We are deeply grateful for the strong interest of viewers who are giving strength to ‘Flower Scholar Lover’ as it nears its end,” and added, “The fierce scene of the true ‘Throne War’ will be broadcast on the 15th and 16th. do. “Please look forward to seeing how ‘Flower Scholar’s Lover’ will end with only two episodes remaining.”
