Dog Knows Everything Maintains Lead in Ratings Race

It appears that KBS 2TV’s new adventure in canine communication, “Dog Knows Everything,” is trotting along with a relatively steady audience—at least for now! On October 2, the highly-anticipated sitcom (and I mean, what sitcom isn’t?) experienced a slight dip in its viewing figures as it rolled into its third episode. According to Nielsen Korea—who, let's be honest, probably have a mysterious side gig as fortune-tellers—“Dog Knows Everything” garnered a modest 3.5 percent nationwide rating for the evening. That’s a step down from the 4.1 percent it boasted in its second episode, making it the kind of decline that every show secretly fears like a cat fears a bath.

Now, one might wonder what makes this show so special! “Dog Knows Everything” is a delightful concoction of crime-solving shenanigans and heartwarming moments, starring the charming veteran actor Lee Soon Jae—who, just to clarify, plays himself and not an alien sent to solve mysteries disguised as a dog (that could be the sequel!). When the winds of scandal blow, Lee flees to the picturesque Geoje Island, seeking refuge or perhaps just trying to figure out how to avoid the paparazzi. But character development occurs in the least expected places, and he soon encounters Sophie, a former police dog with a knack for barking up the right trees.

Here’s the kicker: our dear protagonist discovers he can understand Sophie’s barks as if they were poetic musings from a wise old sage! Suddenly, they embark on a whimsical journey to unravel peculiar incidents on the island. You have to admit, it’s a twist that not even the most seasoned screenwriters could resist. Who wouldn’t want a talking dog as a sidekick? In this world, where everyone is always asking what your dog might be thinking, it seems we finally have an answer: “Let’s solve some mysteries!”

So, if your evenings could use a dash of humor and a sprinkle of canine wisdom, don't miss the opportunity to check out the first three episodes of “Dog Knows Everything.” Just prepare yourself for those moments when you might need to silence your inner critic and embrace the ludicrous beauty of dogs and their strange friendship with humans. Seriously, who doesn’t love a little comic relief sprinkled with profound revelations about life? Enjoy the show with subtitles on Viki and brace yourself for the barking brilliance!
