Kim Hee Sun's ”My House” vs Jisung's ”Connection” - the start of a Fri-Sat TV series battle

*This article contains spoilers and synopsis. The battle for the ratings of the terrestrial Fri-Sat TV series is fierce. Attention is focused on the ratings battle between "My Home" and "Connection."
On the 24th, the first episodes of MBC TV Series "My Home" and SBS TV Series "Connection" were broadcast simultaneously. Both started at 9:50 pm and 10 pm respectively.
With the first week of broadcasting over, the ratings for both TV series are roughly the same. "My Home" recorded 16% and 25.5% for the first episode. "Connection" recorded 15.7% and 26.1% for the first episode.
"My Home" and "My Family" are competing for the top spot (based on Nielsen Korea's paid households). Neither TV series is about light material. First of all, "My Home" is the best family drama in Korea, which is acknowledged by both sides.
When a consulting doctor, Noh Young-won (Kim Hee-sun), finds her career and family threatened by an unknown blackmailer, she joins forces with her mother-in-law (Lee Hye-young), a mystery novel writer, to save her family.
A comic thriller that focuses on the daily life of a family that protects its members. Only episode 2 has been aired so far, but already the death of Noh Young-won's father-in-law Choi Go-myung (Kwon Hea-hyeon), her husband Lee Jae-jin (Kim Nam-hee) and the death of her husband Lee Jae-jin (Kim Nam-hee) have been discussed.
The appearance of Jae Jin's blood-stained co-worker Oh Ji Eun (Shin Soyoul) and the affair of Jae Jin, teased an unconventional plot. Meanwhile, "Connection" is about a man who is forced to become addicted to drugs by someone.
The ace detective of the drug team, Jang Jae Kyung (Jisung), changes friendships and reveals the details of the connections in the addiction tracking suspense drama PENG SOO.
The story of Aekyung's friend's mysterious death and Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin (Jeon Mi Do) inheriting the insurance money has drawn attention.
In the previous competition, the winner of the Friday-Sat TV Series was MBC's "Investigative Team Leader 1958." MBC has previously won "Lovers," "Flowers That Bloom in the Night" and other dramas.
Having shown confidence in such works as "My Home," the group is hoping to continue the momentum of the Fri-Sat TV series with Kim Hee Sun and Lee Hye Young at the forefront.
Meanwhile, SBS's "Resurrection of the Seven" recorded disappointing results, overshadowed by "Investigative Team Leader 1958".
Ng Mi-do's immersive investigative drama "Connection" is set to become the new official winner of the SBS Friday-Saturday genre drama series, following "The Fiery Priest," "Revenge Agent: Model Taxi," and "Detective X of the Chaebol Group."
With the two highly attractive works already teasing a fierce battle, attention is focused on which one will have the chance to win.
