Formerly recognized as the “Queen of Mala-flavored Dramas” for her contributions to the popular “Penthouse” series, screenwriter Kim Soon-ok has recently faced a decline in viewership with her latest offerings.
The conceptual shift in “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection” from the previous collaborative works of Kim Soon-ok and PD Joo Dong-min was meant to captivate audiences anew, this time with PD Oh Joon-hyuk at the helm. Unfortunately, the series has not lived up to heightened anticipations.

Despite novel initiatives, the sequel has unfortunately seen an even further drop in ratings compared to its predecessor, “The Escape of the Seven”.
At the media briefing, PD Oh Joon-hyuk expressed his intention to craft a drama that would resonate more easily with audiences, keeping in mind the feedback received for the first season. Regardless of the stellar cast which includes Hwang Jung-eum, Lee Joon, and Yoon Jong-hoon, the show has had difficulty in grabbing significant attention.
This installment, unlike its predecessor’s more intricate and controversial narratives, aimed at addressing social issues and reaching resolutions, yet has not succeeded in fully engaging viewers.

Analytical opinions within the television industry vary; they range from attributing the poor reception to the cessation of the Kim Soon-ok and PD Joo Dong-min partnership to suggesting that audiences may be exhausted by overly dramatized narratives.
Responses from the online community include a variety of comments such as, “Hwang Jung-eum left after episode 8, and now I’m even less interested“, “I don’t understand what the story is about“, “When will it end? I want to watch the next drama quickly“, and “It seems like the ratings won’t even match the ‘Queen of Tears’ special broadcast“…
