tvN's 'Jung Nyeoni' ended on a high note, setting its highest viewership rating. The show aired its 12th episode on the 17th. According to Nielsen Korea, the final episode recorded a national average rating of 15.5%.

It concluded with its highest ratings. It premiered with 4.8% on the 12th of last month and reached double-digit ratings in just four episodes, maintaining the title of number one in its time slot.

Despite challenging conditions, the show portrayed a sincere passion for Korean national opera. The Maeran National Opera Company staged its final performance amidst extreme financial difficulties, attempting 'Twin Tower Saga.'

After auditions, the role of the protagonist Asadal went to Jung Nyeoni (played by Kim Tae-ri), presenting a contrasting male role different from Ok-gyeong (played by Jung Eun-chae). She shone brightly on stage.

Youngseo (played by Shin Ye-eun) accepted the results, passionately portraying the role of stone mason Dalbi, who admires yet envies Asadal. She burned with intense passion for this performance.

'Jung Nyeoni' was a highly anticipated work. Kim Tae-ri, along with Shin Ye-eun, Ra Mi-ran, Jung Eun-chae, Kim Yoon-hye, and Moon So-ri, practiced, and practiced again for the play-within-a-play.

It offered a world of wonder in the living room. It did not consume female national opera as just a scene in the drama, dedicating 15 to 30 minutes of the 60-minute runtime to performances.

However, some criticized the disappearance of the character Buyong-ie and the regression of thematic elements. There were also opinions that the show failed to focus on Jung Nyeoni's growth story.

Meanwhile, the follow-up to 'Jung Nyeoni' is 'Love on a Log Bridge,' premiering on the 23rd.
