For this week’s first of two Drama Prime Time Reports, we get to look at six new fall dramas, four of them reaching ratings of 17.0% and beyond, and a very stable “Kaseifu no Mita“.
On Monday, Fuji TV aired the first episode of their new Monday drama, “Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu“, starring Karina, Yoshitaka Yuriko, and Oshima Yuko. Many people were looking forward to this drama, while Fuji TV was hoping to finally air a more successful drama in their ‘Getsu 9′ (Monday 9pm) time slot again. It looks like the cast and the premise was at least interesting enough to attract a lot of viewers for the first episode, as “Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu” achieved an average rating of exactly 17.0%. That’s the most successful first episode since “Tsuki no Koibito” in the summer season of 2010.
However, recent examples have shown that the ratings for the second episode, now that people know the look and are more familiar with the atmosphere of the drama, will be much more crucial. Will the ratings take a nose dive this season as well?
