'Fight My Way' Doubles Its Ratings In Less Than A Month, Will Park Seo Joon, Kim Ji Woon Keep Their Promise To Get Married?
"Fight My Way" is continuing to climb up the ratings chart and is growing to be a television phenomenon in its own right, doubling its numbers from its initial broadcast. This reminded viewers of a promise that lead star Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won made at a press conference that they will get married for real if they reach a certain ratings target.
According to a report by Soompi, the latest AC Nielsen survey for "Fight My Way" received an impressive jump to 11 percent. This is a major boost from the show's modest 5 percent ratings in its first episode.
It has been reported that "Fight My Way" is gaining more momentum with the audience in the previous weeks as more viewers are drawn into the charm of Go Dong Man and Choi Ae Ra, childhood friends who have become permanent fixtures in each other's lives through its highs and lows. Fans of the show grow more fascinated with how the characters' friendship will blossom into a romance especially since recent episodes gradually show them realizing a shift in their feelings for each other.
Critics have credited the show's success to the characters who are relatable to real people. Go Dong Man and Choi Ae Ra's reflect the struggles and failures of regular people from the working class dealing with actual problems in a lighthearted way. "The stories of the main characters who are fighting their way against reality are relatable to the viewers, who were previously stricken with emptiness after watching romantic comedy dramas with second generation chaebols as main characters," one reviewer said.
Meanwhile, with "Fight My Way" already in its hallway mark, fans are wondering if it can achieve the 30 percent ratings that Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won have promised as a condition for them to get married in real life, All Kpop reported. While 30 percent has not been achieved by any drama in history, viewers just might just join forces to push the drama to a record breaking rating just to see its stars fulfill their promise.
