SBS drama Yongpal exceeded 20% in ratings.

SBS drama Yongpal has a massive breakthrough of hitting the 20% viewers ratings for the recent 2 episodes broadcasted on Weds-Thurs. The drama continued to be steady in its ratings sitting comfortably on the throne with Scholar Who Walks The Night at 7% and Assembly at 5.7%. 

In the recent episode 5-6 of Yongpal, it shows that Kim Tae Hyun (played by Joo Won) is finally getting the gist of what's happening in the real chaebol world of Hanshin Group with its people all gathering like hyenas towards the heiress Han Yeo Jin (played by Kim Tae Hee).
Yeo Jin who has been medically induced in coma for 3 years wakes up thanks to her new doctor Tae Hyun who attended to her. She strikes a deal with him that if she gives him the money for his sister's transplant treatment fee, he will need to wake her up and get her out from the so-called 'prison hospital'. 


It is one exciting battle whereby Yeo Jin suffered after shocks and pretended to be asleep to watch out for her enemies at the hospital especially the mentally unstable Nurse Hwang hired by her evil brother  Han Do Jun (played by Jo Hyun Jae). Meanwhile her sister in law Chae Young (played by Chae Jung Ahn) is forming an alliance with some directors to get hold of Yeo Jin in order to restraint Do Jun from getting Hanshin Group. All about greed...sighs...

Yeo Jin struggles to free herself from this mental prison and gets Tae Hyun to her side. The 12th floor for VIP and VVIP customers in the hospital proves the state of art medical system.

Doctors and nurses treat their patients as important customers than sick people. Yeo Jin faces the major crisis when Nurse Hwang sees that she can move and talk to anyone especially to Tae Hyun. Do Jun gets agitated and orders people to kill his sister off! Taking extreme major risk, Yeo Jin is putting her life to the line with Tae Hyun promising to protect and not to let her die. What lies for the next episode is going to be another exciting scene to viewers as to how Tae Hyun will save Yeo Jin and get her back to her original state. 

Yongpal is a story about a brilliant surgeon/doctor who does house calls to gangsters and weird people out there in order to earn money to save his sick sister. 
Viewers are intrigued seeing the chaebol heiress as a 'sleeping beauty' in the drama. Yongpal is definitely been recorded as the highest ratings for mini-series in 2015.

I think Joo Won has done a fabulous job in this series despite a few episodes. His expressions and character is something I look forward to. As for Kim Tae Hee, she hasn't done much as yet apart from sleeping and waking up on the bed. We will have to wait and see the following episodes... Also something to look forward is the newbie model/actress Cynthia played by Stephanie Lee is an eye candy. She is seen helping out Tae Hyun and assisting Yeo Jin to escape.
