Another 1% Rise in Ratings for Forecasting Love and Weather as Episode 4 Gets 7.849% and Twenty Five, Twenty Continues to Inch Up to 8.787%

I personally did an eeny-meeny-miny-mo in deciding which of the two new weekend K-dramas to watch first, I didn’t want to watch both and compare as the two are competing with each other in ratings due to different time slot and also I wanted to just enjoy one drama and soak in the vibe for the time being. I landed on Forecasting Love and Weather in the mental dice roll and remain banking episodes of Twenty Five, Twenty One for when the mood strikes to dive in. That both are delivering solid cable ratings for a romance drama is strong validation not to mention the increasingly good feedback from audiences. Moreso for Forecasting because it started off weaker – people wrote off the OTP casting together and the promos made the drama seem bland and unappealing, so it had a higher bar to climb.

For episode 4 it continued its 1% an episode increase to hit 7.849% which puts it on #9 on the jTBC all time top 10 highest rated episodes per drama. The rating also makes it the highest jTBC rated drama in two years as no drama in 2021 had ratings higher than 6.8%. Over on tvN, Twenty Five, Twenty One is steadier, with a faster push out of the gate with higher ratings and broke 8% in episode 2, an amazing feat, but has since stayed at that range with smaller increases and episode 4 reached 8.787%. It’s also not on tvN top 10 yet since tvN has many more dramas break 8% than over at jTBC. Since I’ve only watched Forecasting, I can validate why the ratings keep going up, it’s such an appealing watch with a smart, capable but also emotionally thoughtful female lead and a confident and giving male lead. The weather stuff is nicely woven into the episode themes and also the technical details are interesting since its the first time being shown in a drama. Overall quite a surprisingly decent drama, me likes!
