Reporters Taeyoo and TenAsia will properly cover every aspect of the drama based on what they heard and saw on site. We will be the eyes and ears of the readers in the era of flood of dramas pouring from numerous channels.
MBC's Fri-Sat drama will take a break for a month after the end of 'Chosun Lawyer'. This is the first time in two years since the establishment. In a situation where SBS and JTBC are pouring in dramas with a rating of over 10%, they seem to have taken a breather for a while as they were unable to overcome the sluggish performance by not exceeding the 5% level. However, MBC's situation is literally in the middle of the day. A month later, the competitor, 'Numbers: Watchers of the Building Forest', also organized by MBC, has many strong enemies that are difficult to deal with.
Currently, the reality of the MBC drama department is miserable. The only drama that is being aired is the daily drama 'Heavenly Destiny'. This is because for the first time since the establishment in August 2021, the Friday-Saturday drama has a hiatus. The Wed-Thu drama, which was revived after a year last year, also ended with one episode of 'One Dang Baek Butler' and again became unreported news.

The follow-up to 'Chosun Attorney' is 'Numbers' and has confirmed its first broadcast on June 23rd. This is the same as 'Ghost' following 'Master Kim 3'. In the end, it is like running away from the formidable competitor 'Kim Sabu 3'. During this period, MBC organized entertainment reruns, etc. Considering that they did not organize a 4-episode drama like 'Please send me a fan letter' like before, it seems to be a calculation to reduce expenses as much as possible.

On the 24th, a day after the first broadcast of 'Numbers', TV Chosun's 'Missy Durian' will take off the veil. 'Missis Durian', a new work by writer Lim Seong-han of 'The Last Godmother', tells the bizarre and beautiful story of two unknown women who appeared at the moment of a lunar eclipse and the Dan family. Above all, in the teaser video released earlier, scenes and lines that seemed to imply love between father and mother were shocking. Since Im Seong-han, a writer who has presented unimaginable developments and lines several times, the public's reaction to 'Assi Durian' is also hot.

tvN presents 'Take Care of This Student' starring Shin Hye-sun and Ahn Bo-hyun. It is based on a webtoon of the same name that has accumulated about 700 million views, and the fantasy setting of a woman living the 19th episode of life is the attractive point.

It is also the comeback work of Choi Jin-hyeok, who spent a period of self-reflection. Choi Jin-hyuk caused controversy when he was caught by the police while having a drink at an illegal entertainment bar during the fourth stage of social distancing to prevent the spread of Corona 19. Choi Jin-hyeok, who stopped broadcasting after that, returned to 'My Little Old Boy' after a year or so, and resumed his acting activities with 'Numbers' after 3 years.
MBC is in a dilemma with nowhere to run. Will 'Numbers' be a sacrificial work for anticipated works in the second half of the year, such as 'Lovers', 'The Tale of a Contract Marriage of Mr. There is not much time left for the summer gold-sat play.
