| Scenes from ‘The Youngest Son of a Chaebol’. Capture JTBC. |
JTBC Friday-Saturday drama “Maknae Son of Chaebol House”, which is attracting attention with actors Lee Sung-min and Song Joong-ki, is speeding up the ratings.
According to Nielsen Korea on the 18th, the ratings for the 13th episode of “The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate” which aired at 10:30 pm the previous day was 22.5% (non-Earth paid households). It’s the highest viewership rating on its own.
In the previous day’s broadcast, Jin Yang-cheol (Lee Seong-min), chairman of Sunyang Group, passed away, predicting another wave. In the will that Jin Yang-cheol revised at the last minute, the inheritance of Jin Do-jun (Song Joong-ki), the nephew he named as heir, was written as 0 won, which shocked me.
Jin Yang-cheol’s wife, Lee Pil-ok (Kim Hyeon), who regarded Jin Do-joon, her half-brother’s son, as a thorn in her eye, tried to draw a succession picture of the Sunyang Group that she wanted with a 17% stake in borrowed names. However, he was caught by Jin Do-jun, who knew that Pil-ok Lee had tried to kill Yang-cheol Jin by faking a car accident.
On the other hand, in this day’s episode, Jin Do-joon successfully led the marketing of Sunyang Motor’s new car, Apollo, using the “Myth of the Final Four” of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, adding interest in the World Cup season.
This drama is about a foreman-level employee, Yoon Hyun-woo, who died after being abandoned while managing the risk of a parent family owner of a conglomerate, reincarnated as Jin Do-joon, the youngest member of a conglomerate family, and living ‘ the second episode of his life ‘, and updates their highest ratings every week. The story of Jin Do-joon, who manages to invest by taking advantage of major domestic and foreign events and incidents of the late 1980s, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) foreign exchange crisis, the dot-com bubble, the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States and the 2002 World Cup gives viewers a vicarious satisfaction. Song Joong-ki who plays the role of Jin Do-joon is driving the show’s popularity by showcasing multi-layered acting to meet the expectations of the fandom.
Here, the main evaluation is that Lee Seong-min, who played the role of Jin Yang-cheol, the chairman of Sunyang Group, stood out. Lee Sung-min radiated charisma as the leader of the group in the beginning of the drama and digested the symptoms of a head tumor with excellent acting skills in the second half. In delirium, being unable to recognize people around you, squatting on the floor in fear, yelling in an elevator with a confident expression, urinating unknowingly, sitting in a wheelchair with no energy, and drooling with an expression blurry. real life.”
