Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 365 Finale
The finale is about to be aired!

"True Beauty" has been so popular online that no other TV series aired at the same time has been able to surpass it. Its biggest rival so far is not "The Penthouse", which just aired its finale last month, but TV Chosun's trot program.

It attracted more than half of the audience, with ratings exceeding 30% and even breaking through 40%.

So the ratings are naturally not comparable. The ratings of "True Beauty" have been hovering around 4% since the eighth episode.

To be honest, this is not a very low number and can be classified as a popular drama in the local area.

If we rank all the TV series broadcast on tvN, it can be considered a decent series. Last year, Record of Youth starring Park Bo Gum only had an 8% viewership rating and ranked fifth in tvN's TV series ratings in 2020.

The most popular drama on Taiwan this year was "Mr. Queen", which had a peak viewership rating of 17%, but it received poor reviews and was controversial due to its plot.

All in all, "True Beauty" is doing well. Its ratings have steadily improved during this period of fierce competition. It is still popular in the local market, and its popularity on overseas networks is far ahead.

In the Racoi actor topic popularity ranking for the fourth week of January 2021, Kwon Hyun Hyuk, Kim Ji Soo, and Hwang In Yeop took the second, third, and fifth places respectively. The first place was Shin Hye Sun, who starred in Queen Cheorin.

In the ranking of TV drama popularity, the first place is Penthouse, the second place is Queen Cheorin, and the third place is Goddess Advent.

The ranking of "True Beauty" on these lists is consistent with its popularity and characteristics in South Korea, and it is always number one on the Internet.

If I have to make an analogy, "True Beauty" is equivalent to the super popular idol drama in China, which is also a big hit overseas, but it is not actually seen by the mainstream public. However, it is still very popular and has attracted a large number of young fans.

And now, the series has officially come to an end, and it is time to broadcast the finale.

The finale, the finale.

The last two episodes are full of ups and downs, breakups and reunions, and finally have a perfect ending.

But the audience right now doesn’t know yet and is looking forward to the plot of the last two episodes, waiting to see what will happen.

Needless to say, in China, the number of viewers of the live broadcast of Korean dramas on TV is increasing rapidly, gradually breaking through 500,000, 600,000, and 700,000. As time gets closer, the number of viewers increases faster and faster, and there are more and more comments and barrages.

Before the broadcast, there were already 800,000 people waiting to watch the live broadcast. The highest number of viewers that year was Crash Landing on You, followed by Itaewon Class. With the support of Kwon Hyun Hyuk and China's top Kpop player Kim Ji Soo, it is certain that it will exceed one million.

Some people say they have never heard of it, which means they are not the main audience, so there is nothing to question.

[Damn it, I have to wait and see what the final two episodes will bring. The official match is locked in!!!]

[The official couple must be together, otherwise I will tear the screenwriter apart. ]

[Han Shujun must be with the female lead. Why should the male lead be with the male lead just because he has a bigger star status when the male second lead is so good?! ! !]

[This Godly CP must be locked up for me. If they are not together, I will hate myself so much that I can go through menopause right here.]

The "God CP" naturally refers to Kwon Hyun Hyuk and Kim Ji Soo. Because one of them is a male god and the other is a goddess, they are called the "God CP". The vast majority of drama fans in China generally call them this.

At this point, the most heated discussion about the plot is the quarrel between fans of the two male characters, about whether the female lead should be with the male lead or the second male lead. This is almost a popular part of idol dramas.

The more intense the quarrel, the more heated it becomes. Apart from the fans who are quarreling out of genuine feelings, the officials are naturally just watching for fun.

There’s nothing shameful about stock trading.

So in such a chaotic atmosphere, as the time came to 10:50 in the evening, the last two episodes of "Goddess Comes" officially started broadcasting.

Sit in a row.

The four members of the new girl group Espa, whom Ace admires, sit in a row in the dormitory, waiting to watch the finale of Goddess Advent.

"It's started, it's started."

Ningning watched TV and patted Jin Dongtian beside her.

As a melo drama for little girls, "True Beauty" is very popular. Under the leadership of Liu Zhimin who denied it verbally but behaved very obediently, the four of them were sitting there waiting to see the finale.

God knows what Liu Zhimin felt when she saw the intimate scenes between the two later. Anyway, after watching it, she even firmly stood on the side of the second male lead, hated Quan Xuanhe very much and strongly condemned him.

Why do you think she supports the second male lead?

Those who understand will understand.

But what made Liu Zhimin resentful even more was Quan Xuanhe's indifference to him.

They won their first No. 1 in mid-January and their first Newcomer Award at the Seoul Music Awards at the end of January.

And Quan Xuanhe actually turned a blind eye to it!

How can this be true? You didn't react at all at such an important moment in my life, not even a phone call or a message.

It really makes me feel cold in the uterus.

When Liu Zhimin thought of this, he couldn't help but puff up his face, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and turned into a pig-snake.

She couldn't take the initiative anymore, as it would make her worthless, so she had to restrain herself and see when Quan Xuanhe would remember her.

There were men pursuing her one after another, so why did she choose to hang herself on a tree?

Sometimes Liu Zhimin herself wondered about this question, and of course she realized it.

It's over if you don't realize it, right?

From 2019 to now, she has been involved with Quan Xuanhe for more than two years. I never thought that she would really be pabo.

There are so many men in the world, there must be one better than you.

During the time when she was ignored by Quan Xuanhe, Liu Zhimin often comforted herself with this kind of Ah Q spirit.

As the commercial ended, the screen went black and tvN's prelude sounded, followed by the opening of the fifteenth episode.

The last part of the fourteenth episode tells the story of the protagonist's father falling ill and going abroad. Many viewers therefore began to speculate on the development of the subsequent plot.

But no one expected that even in the penultimate episode, the screenwriter would still be cruel and deliver a knife. Just a few minutes after the fifteenth episode, a suffocating breakup plot appeared.

As the BGM and the emotions of the plot progressed, the audience was simply blown away by this part of the plot.

The screen is full of question marks.

But when a close-up shot of Kwon Hyun-hyuk with tears in his eyes suddenly appeared on the screen, all the audience who saw this shot fell silent.

The legendary Archaeopteryx.

Admittedly, the plot is very suffocating, and one cannot help but curse the screenwriter, but when looking at Quan Xuanhe's eyes full of complex emotions and thousands of sorrows on the camera, the words that make people complain are stuck in their mouths, and the emotions of heartache and tangledness arise.

If it weren’t for Kwon Hyun Hyuk crying so contagiously, this plot would have been hard to convince me, although it did leave me speechless.

【Baby, don’t cry, I love you (crying)】

【Why do we have to break up? I am speechless. 】

I really sympathized with him. I wanted to complain, but after seeing him cry so beautifully and miserably, I was speechless.

[This face deserves my tears, this feeling of brokenness is incredible.]

Kwon Hyun Hyuk's eyes, which have been quite bright since his debut, and his excellent acting skills made up for the shortcomings of the plot. As for Kim Ji Soo, her crying was genuine, without any acting, just pure emotion.

In this plot, the man and woman were separated from each other, but the scene where they cried and broke up on the phone was a wake-up call to the Shenshen CP, which directly silenced a considerable number of viewers and then madly criticized the screenwriter.

Liu Zhimin was also speechless when he saw this.

Although she froze for a moment when she saw Quan Xuanhe crying, she then inexplicably felt excited and uncontrollable excitement.

Liu Zhimin bit her lip, licked it, and then swallowed. She secretly made a note to find this clip on Netflix and watch it over and over again to savor it.

The crying scenes I watched before were not good enough, but watching them again after a long time gave me a completely new feeling.

As Liu Zhimin thought about it, he actually let out a strange gurgling laugh, as if he was thinking of a dark girl with a strange fetish, and her G-spot was poked.

After hearing the strange noise, Jin Dongtian turned his head and saw Liu Zhimin's strange reaction. There seemed to be a strange light in his eyes, which was weird.

"Ah!..." She sighed helplessly, glanced at her with disgust, then turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

What kind of messed up things are going on in this weird mind?

It's so unusual.

After the crying scene, Kwon Hyun Hyuk basically had no role in the fifteenth episode and only reappeared at the end.

The 15th episode of "True Beauty" had a nationwide viewership rating of 5.579% and a Seoul viewership rating of 6.371%, breaking its own record for the highest viewership rating, with the highest real-time viewership rating reaching 9.234.

After the fifteenth episode was aired, the audience feedback was overwhelming.
Does anyone else think NH people enjoy watching the male and female protagonists share sweet moments? Apparently, they love melodramatic triangles the most.

[The ending will be sad and the ratings will go up a bit, but it's too melodramatic. I feel like after watching one episode of Penthouse, the second male lead is Zhencha's endless wish rolls [sad][sad][sad]]

[Episode 15 has been buried in my heart [bye][bye]]

[I'm so pissed. The male lead only appears for a few fucking minutes! How could the male lead be so miserable and be written like this?]

What's there to be angry about? It was originally a manga plot. They deleted dozens of chapters about Lin Long and Jing Jing being together, only to delete a sentence and then move on two years later. Han Shujun was already humble enough.

There are many different opinions and discussions, and everyone says all kinds of things, but no one is satisfied with the plot. However, the topic of discussion about the plot has reached a new level.

Amidst increasingly heated discussions, the sixteenth episode, the finale, was aired.

At the end of the series, the subsequent plot is about Quan Xuanhe chasing his wife to the crematorium, as well as a series of intimate scenes between the two.

It includes the kiss of love that sealed their reunion, their sex scene, and the final kiss in the bookstore, which harkens back to the first episode.

Bed scene!

It is already a major attraction, not to mention the first sex scene between Kim Ji-soo and Kwon Hyun-hyuk. Although the scale is not large, it is contributed to the drama "Goddess Descends".

God knows how many boys and girls screamed and cried when this scene was broadcast.

The man is shouting at you to let go of Jisoo, his eyes kept darting towards Kim Jisoo, as if he wanted to replace him.

The woman was screaming with excitement, her eyes shining, and her mouth involuntarily grinning into a silly smile.

Since episode 16 when Kwon Hyun Hyuk pursued Kim Ji Soo to get back together, there has been a series of sweet scenes.

This plot makes the audience very satisfied. No matter what, most of the audience hopes that the hero and heroine will end up together. This is what everyone wants.

After seeing Park Chae-young's guest appearance, he understood what she meant and smiled.

Recently, the news about Rose's solo has been quite popular. As Blackpink's first solo after reaching the top, it has a lot of special meaning and attracted a lot of attention.

I didn't expect to see her appear in the camera at this time. It was really a pleasant surprise.

The plot has finally come to an end, and the final curtain has fallen at this moment. The last picture of the series is Kwon Hyun Hyuk and Kim Ji Soo cuddling each other.

This also represents a happy ending.

During the peak period of domestic Korean TV, the number of viewers exceeded one million, making it the Korean drama with the highest number of live broadcast viewers in the past two years.

The feedback on the finale was overwhelming, and it even appeared on several trending searches on Weibo in China.

#GoddessAdventureEnding
#Goddess descends clinical drama
#Kwon Hyun Hyuk crying scene

#Kim Ji-soo
"Goddess's Arrival" has been on the hot searches in China frequently. In its original trajectory, it has put a lot of effort into marketing in China, and every time it was broadcast, it would appear on several hot searches. Now with the efforts of YG, it is even more overwhelming.

tvN's instantaneous viewership rating peaked at over 6.849, with the final rating for the sixteenth episode set at .

New high!

This is already a solid result, and the last few episodes have been on a upward trend.

The average viewership rating for the entire sixteen episodes was 5.027, and the original series' viewership rating was 3.7, which was more than one point higher than the original series, a very good result.

However, it pales in comparison to the response overseas.

The number of page views on Douyin's topic exceeded 25 billion, becoming the highest for a Korean drama in history.

The number of views of domestic Douyin topics has exceeded 10 billion.

The finale of "True Beauty" was released on Netflix immediately after the finale of TVN was broadcast. That was in the early morning. Apart from the fans who stayed up late to watch the broadcast, most people waited until the next day to watch it.

Under these circumstances, a new record of goddess advent was created.

The cumulative number of viewers has exceeded 50 million, and it is not impossible to break the record of House of Cards Season 4 with the bonus period after the finale.

If this comes true, it will successfully top Netflix's cumulative ranking of non-English dramas and set a record!
Not to mention the weekly playback charts, "True Beauty" has been firmly in first place and has never come down from the top, with millions of views every week.

The meaning contained in this is very profound, and it is not just about the drama "True Beauty" itself.

First, how much did it cost to produce "True Beauty"?

The pay for this film may not even be as high as the production cost of an episode of a current big-budget American TV series.

In recent years, the cost of American TV series has continued to rise. For example, the cost of each episode of series such as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is close to 10 million US dollars, or even more.

How much did "True Beauty" cost? It didn't even cost half of the 10 million US dollars. The production cost of each episode was only a few hundred thousand US dollars at most.

It is a complete way to make a big profit with a small investment, create a new capital myth, and make huge profits.

It made Netflix lucrative, made the industry jealous, and made Korean dramas even more popular among OTT platforms such as Netflix and Disney+.

It even accelerated the impact on the development strategies of major OTT platforms.

To a certain extent, the goddess's arrival has accelerated overseas capital's investment in Korean Wave, and it is simply a perfect example of Korean Wave's foreign investment!
In one word, cool.

It was so cool, and Quan Xuanhe was even happier.

The taste of success has never been so intoxicating.
