Yikes. Pop base should really delete that tweet now. If it wasn’t obvious before now should be clear that Snowdrop isn’t the most watched Korean show right now. But there’s been a lot of misinformation being spread around about Snowdrop “success” by fandoms. It’s weird and netizens are only laughing and making a mockery of blinks with the way they’re handling this drama.

Well i think it was the most viewed for a certain timesolt on the olleh tv app or whatever. I think most people who looked into it knew that the actual ratings would be around half or even less of the realtime. For a jtbc show the 2nd episode ratings are not all that bad. But i don't think the growth is because of good interest either.
That's still pretty good
It is actually a major disappointment.
This is a mega stacked cast with alot of top actors, huge budget, script and director from the mega huge show sky castle so when you look at that its well below expectations and from what I've seen the reason its that high is people wondered if they changed anything and got mad when they didn't then the 0.9 rise is people hearing about the issues and going to check it out. Its why there was a huge jump in the blue house numbers and the big investors started pulling out this morning as more people are discussing it.
By the time skycastle ended it was at 23% and averaged out at 12%. It's first ep was at 1% but the second was on 4% and only went higher, thats what the industry was expecting for SD with all the money, stars and huge promo.
SKY Castle/Episode Ratings - DramaWiki
edit - forgot to add, JTBC also stopped broadcast in Korea from their online platform to boost the TV ratings....
You can't compare first episodes with final episodes.
First episode of twotm had 6 something rating but word of mouth and general hype lead it to be the highest rated drama in korean cable history.
Sky caste started with less that 2% rating and the finale was watched by almost 24%.
Having said that; The world of the married and sky castle are exceptions, not the rule. Snowdrop ratings are fine for cable.

Isn't that what I said though??? Not bad but not amazing. If they wanna reach amazing well, they need to at least peak at 7% in JTBC. If not, its just not bad. And those in the list weren't final episode ratings, those are peak ratings.
And the higher ratings are probably the "Car crash tv" types trying to see what all the issue is about
These are the peaks..
These are the peaks..
Yeap. And if SD doesn't peak more that 7%, still a good ratings, just not amazing.

but isn't it decent for cable though?

It's was #12 on disney + worldwide.

If it was an average cable show with mid range cast, small budget and a newish script writer and director deffo, people would be saying its doing fine and not to be dramatic but think of it as them taking the crew and writers from squid games, paying for hollywood big names and even the small characters are big names, giving them a massive budget, lots of time, big promo budget all to make squid games 2, and it does about as well as 'the resident' or the mummy (the remake one or the last one about the dragon emperor). When companies plan drama's the budget they allot is in relation to the ratings they expect, if they allot funds for a resident and thats what they get they ae happy, if they allot funds for a resident and gget a squid games they are insanely happy, if they give the funds for squid games 2 and got the resident which would make a huge loss and they would be very mad. Especially because they even stopped the broadcast on thier online platform to pump up the ratings, which means the people who wold normally watch this online were forced to turn on the TV so the ratings are even higher than they would have been.
Normally I wouldn't want to judge so quick but its unclear if the third episode will even be released so this may be all we have to go on.
