“Love Scout,” the new SBS romance drama starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is quickly becoming a fan favorite. The drama has seen impressive success, with viewership ratings reaching double digits after just three episodes. The fourth episode achieved an average nationwide rating of 11.3 percent, setting a new high for the show. “Love Scout” also topped the TV drama popularity chart in the third week of January, according to FUNdex. Furthermore, Lee Jun Hyuk and Han Ji Min ranked first and second in the most talked-about actors category. Here are three reasons for the drama’s popularity:
The Chemistry Between Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk
The on-screen connection between Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk is a major draw for viewers. Their chemistry was evident from the first episode, even when their characters were at odds. As their characters, Kang Ji Yun (played by Han Ji Min) and Yu Eun Ho (played by Lee Jun Hyuk), begin working together, their relationship becomes even more exciting. The drama features moments that heighten the romantic tension, such as when Eun Ho carefully touches Ji Yun’s hand while applying a bandage or gently adjusts her collar. The ending of episode four left viewers wondering if a kiss would happen between them. This cliffhanger has created excitement for the next episode.
Visually Appealing Scenes
The drama’s beautiful filming locations enhance the romantic story. A scene from episode three shows Eun Ho driving around the neighborhood while Ji Yun sleeps in the car. The night view of Seoul, combined with pop music, creates a memorable moment.
A Look into the World of Headhunting
“Love Scout” offers a look into the world of headhunting, balancing work and romance. The partnership between Ji Yun, a successful CEO, and Eun Ho, her capable secretary, adds depth to the storyline. The tension between Ji Yun and her rival Hye Jin (Park Bo Kyung), the CEO of Career Way, adds another layer of drama. Five years prior, Ji Yun and Hye Jin were mentor and mentee, but after the death of their former CEO, they became competitors. Hye Jin tries to sabotage Ji Yun, who remains committed to her principles. The drama has received praise for its romance and workplace elements.
The next episode of “Love Scout” airs on January 17 at 10 p.m. KST.
