‘Red Balloon’ closed for Lunar New Year holiday

TV CHOSUN's weekend mini-series 'Red Balloon', which reached its halfway mark, decided to take a break to improve the quality of the second half.

'Red Balloon' is a work that tells the thrilling and thrilling story of the relative deprivation we all suffer from, the thirst of desire that hurts our stomachs, and our struggle to soothe that thirst.

The 10th episode of 'Red Balloon', which aired on the 15th, soared to a national viewership rating of 7.7% and a peak per minute rating of 8.5% based on Nielsen Korea, once again recording its highest viewership rating.

In relation to this, 'Red Balloon', which has reached the halfway point of 20 episodes and is about to enter the second half, has decided to take a break to further improve the drama's completeness. As a result, episodes 11 and 12, which were scheduled to be broadcast on the 21st and 22nd, will be broadcast at 9:10 pm on the 28th and 29th after a week-long break.

'Red Balloon' is receiving positive reviews as the essence of 'Moon Young-nam's family drama' with a realistic story that reflects realistic material. Here are psychological descriptions of the 'relative deprivation' that we all feel but cannot express on the outside, fundamental questions about human nature, and the joys and sorrows of life portrayed by family members and couples of various ages and generations. By forming a consensus, we are increasing immersion.

In the last 10th episode, Jo Eun-kang (played by Seo Ji-hye) revealed her hidden desire for a higher dimension (played by Lee Sang-woo) and gave a shocking ending in which she ultimately crossed the line. Jo Eun-kang revealed his cold anger when he found out the true intentions of Han Bada (played by Hong Soo-hyun), who took advantage of his poor situation for money. In the end, Jo Eung-kang came up with a meticulous plan to provide an excuse for Hanbada and Go-cha-won to misunderstanding and conflict with each other, and by spending a hot night with Go-cha-won who was shaken by him, he foreshadowed the uncontrollable catastrophe that would unfold in the future.

The production team said, “‘Red Balloon’ has reached the halfway point starting from episode 10,” and added, “We took a week of rest before the turbulent second half of the story begins to complete ‘Red Balloon’ more tightly and chewily. “I will come back,” he said.
