Kang Hoon trying to escape 10 years of comedy obscurity... ‘Hot Goodbye’ starts at 1.7%

The youth drama 'Hot Goodbye' starring actor Kang Hoon started with a viewership rating of around 1%.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company, on the 12th, the viewership rating for the first episode of tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Hot Goodbye', which aired the previous day, was 1.7% (nationally).

The first broadcast depicted the obscure life of a comedy trio trying to get on stage.

Kang Tae-gu (played by Kang Hoon), Kim Nam-il (Cho Hyeon-cheol), and Han Jun-seo (Kim Jeong-jin) first meet at a high school broadcasting festival and form the comedy trio Asura, but cannot escape obscurity for 10 years.

Then, the three receive a suggestion from a comedy show producer to create a new corner, and they hold meetings from morning to night at their favorite cafe.

Go Eun-yeong (Lee Dam), a regular cafe employee who was watching them, turned out to be Asura's passionate fan, raising curiosity about what would unfold next.

‘Hot Goodbye’ is based on the Japanese NTV drama ‘The Conte Begins’ (2021).
