Double Standards.
A drama gets ratings higher than 15%. People call it a hit, and praise the leads.
A Kimura Takuya drama has an average rating of around 16-18%. People call it a disappointment.
...Really?
Crazy!
I know that KimuTaku is famous for pulling in HUGE ratings (30%) for his past dramas, but at this time and age, it's IMPOSSIBLE to reach 30%. If you were to ask me why, I can't say I know the reason. Perhaps technology is a contributing factor. Maybe people prefer doing so and so with their gadgets as opposed to watching dramas. I don't know, really.
Truth be told, ratings higher than 20% are starting to seem impossible too. At this time and age, ratings close to 20% are considered huge but people ALWAYS forget that when it comes to Kimura Takuya.
DOUBLE STANDARDS.
Compare TV ratings to album/CD sales if you must. They work the same way.
Times change, simply put.
My God I've turned into suge a huge KimuTaku fangirl in the span of a few short weeks. Nonetheless I always used to feel this way about ratings ever since I got into dramas since 2007 so here I am, finally blogging about it!
