Nice to Not Meet You is #1 most-watched drama on Monday
While the ongoing tvN drama Nice to Not Meet You, Episode 9 did not manage to reach the all-time high ratings it received for its first episode back on November 3rd, it did earn a nice boost in its audience share on Monday night.
According to data via Nielsen Korea, Nice to Not Meet You, Episode 9 garnered 4.67 percent of the nationwide audience share versus the 4.09 percent it earned for Episode 8.
The Lee Jung Jae and Im Ji Yeon-led drama also grabbed 4.46 percent of the viewership in Seoul versus the 4.08 percent Nice to Not Meet You garnered for its last episode.
Both of those ratings also meant the Korean drama was the #1 most-watched drama on Monday.
Yes, the tvN series still has a ways to go before it gets back to the 5.45 percent/5.19 percent it earned for Episode 1, but it is at least heading in the right direction. Yay!
Nice to Not Meet You, Episode 11 being delayed?
Meanwhile, there are news reports in South Korea that, after Episode 10 of Nice to Not Meet You airs tonight, Episode 11 of the romantic comedy drama will be postponed for a week while filming is completed.
According to one news report from Herald Pop,
tvN’s Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Nice to Not Meet You’ will take a week off after the 10th episode airs on the 2nd (Tuesday) to ensure the completion of the work.
On the 8th (Monday) and 9th (Tuesday), ‘tvN X TVING Short Drama Curation’ will be broadcast, with the 11th episode of ‘Nice to Not Meet You’ being broadcast on the 15th (Monday) at 8.50 pm.
Nothing has been confirmed by the K-drama’s production team, but we’ll keep you posted on that as more information is released.
If true, however, it sounds to me like the production team is not satisfied with the events of the last few episodes, or possibly the ending (?), so some re-filming of scenes is now ongoing.
While potentially improving the drama, which is struggling in ratings both in Korea and in the west, a delay may also damage Nice to Not Meet You‘s ratings for future episodes, as postponements often tend to mean a percentage of viewers drift off to something else never to return.
Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen, eh?
