The Tyrant's Bending Against the Current, Yoona Breaks the Screen, Setting a Rating Record

The Korean drama industry is witnessing a real "earthquake" with the rise of the Tyrant's Bend . The film not only continuously broke its own rating records but also became a "savior", invigorating tvN .

After the first three episodes debuted with modest ratings of 4.9%, 6.6% and 7.6% respectively, The Tyrant's Bending had a "fast" jump in episode 4. With the climax and especially the unexpected first kiss of the "tyrant" Lee Heon ( Lee Chae Min ), the film pushed the rating "to the top" of double digits, reaching 11.1% - an incredible achievement. The rating chart of this work is not flat like ordinary films, but a straight upward path, proving the undeniable attraction of the content and acting.

The success of The Tyrant's Bending is not only good news for the film crew but also a great victory for tvN. In recent times, although the titles shown in the same time frame of this station have been well received by the audience, there has been no breakthrough in terms of data, usually only maintained at a fairly average level with stable ratings in the range of 5-8%. The arrival of the Tyrant's Bending has shattered this "peace", bringing a new wind of vitality and competition.

Not only leading in terms of the national average viewership, The Tyrant's Bend also proved its "unmatched" position when maintaining the throne in the Top 10 most interested films last week. The attraction of the film comes not only from the content but also from the talented cast itself. According to Good Data Corporation 's statistics, Yoona and Lee Chae Min have occupied the No. 1 and No. 2 positions respectively in the ranking of actors with movies being shown, a clear testament to the influence and love of the audience.

Yoona has proven her versatility in acting when she not only takes on deeply introspective roles, but also shines with her natural and graceful ability to laugh. In The Tyrant's Bend , she has ingeniously transformed, showing an innocent, backward but also extremely cunning Ji Young, creating bad situations to cry and laugh at. Yoona's embarrassed eyes, vivid facial expressions, and funny gestures have become bright spots, making the audience unable to take their eyes off. She succeeded in balancing the drama of the story and the humorous moments, bringing a fresh breeze to the film and making The Bending of the Tyrant not just an ordinary historical work, but also a colorful entertainment "party".

While the Tyrant's Bender is "making a storm", competitors have mixed developments. KBS 2TV's drama Beyond The Bar , although it bounced back with a 9.1% rating in episode 10, still has some weaknesses such as the emotional line that is not supported by the audience and Chae Yeon's acting is considered a minus. Meanwhile, another KBS 2TV work, Twelve , had difficulties from the first episodes. Starting with an impressive rating of 8.1%, but the heavy and difficult content quickly exhausted the film, the rating dropped sharply to 5.9% in episode 2 and 4.2% in episode 3.

In another development, the movie Our Golden Days , a weekend production (different time frame) of KBS 2TV, still maintains a stable "fighting power". With a viewership rate of 15.9% in the latest episode, the series has become the highest-rated work among the programs over the past weekend. Meanwhile, SBS's The Winning Try ended with a rating of 6.4%.

With these remarkable achievements, The Tyrant's Bend is not only a successful film but also a "miracle" for tvN. The combination of an attractive plot, good acting of the main couple and a positive word-of-mouth effect has helped the film become a phenomenon, winning the hearts of the audience. The success of The Tyrant's Bending is also an affirmation of the power of a quality work, which can overcome all barriers and conquer new heights on the small screen.
