| Scenes from ‘The youngest son of a conglomerate’. JTBC capture. |
JTBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Maknae Son of Chaebol House’, which is drawing attention with actors Lee Sung-min and Song Joong-ki, is accelerating 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-terrestrial paid households). It is the highest viewership rating of its own.
On the previous day’s broadcast, Jin Yang-cheol (Lee Seong-min), chairman of the Sunyang Group, passed away, predicting another wave. In the will, which Jin Yang-cheol revised at the last minute, the legacy of his grandson Jin Do-jun (Song Joong-ki), whom he had internally appointed 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, the son of his half-brother, as a thorn in her eye, tried to draw a picture of the succession of the Sunyang Group she wanted with a 17% stake in borrowed names. However, she is caught by Jin Do-jun, who knows that Pil-ok Lee tried to kill Jin Yang-cheol by faking a car accident.
On the other hand, on this day’s episode, Jin Do-joon successfully led the marketing of Sunyang Motor’s new car, Apollo, using the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup ‘Four Finals Myth’, adding interest to the World Cup season.
This drama is regarding a team leader-level employee, Yoon Hyun-woo, who died following being abandoned while managing the owner risk of a conglomerate head family, reincarnated as Jin Do-joon, the youngest member of a conglomerate family, and living ‘the second episode of his life’, and is updating its own highest ratings every week. The story of Jin Do-joon, who succeeds in investing by taking advantage of major domestic and foreign events and accidents from the late 1980s, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) foreign exchange crisis, dot-com bubble, the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States, and the 2002 World Cup, gives viewers vicarious satisfaction. gives the pleasure of Song Joong-ki, who plays the role of Jin Do-joon, is leading the popularity of the play by showing multi-layered acting to meet the expectations of the fandom.
Here, the mainstream evaluation is that Lee Seong-min, who played the role of Jin Yang-cheol, the chairman of the Sunyang Group, stood out. Lee Sung-min radiated charisma as the group leader at the beginning of the drama, and in the second half, he portrayed the symptoms of a tumor in his head with excellent acting skills. In delirium, not being able to recognize people around you, crouching on the floor in fear, shouting in an elevator with a confident expression, urinating without knowing it, sitting in a wheelchair without energy, and drooling with an unfocused expression. It is like real life.”
