It has been revealed that the "complete playback rate" of the TV drama series "The Kidnapping Day" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays at 9pm), starring actor Saito Takumi, which was surveyed from missed broadcasts, was the highest among all dramas on all networks this season.
The "Complete Playback Rate" is a number that indicates the percentage of viewers who watched to the end without dropping out. It indicates the viewer's "level of engagement" which cannot be measured by the number of plays alone. The complete playback rate for this series recorded a high average of 78.2% for all episodes (calculated by TVer DATAMARKETING, measurement period: July 1st to August 25th).
According to TV Asahi, the number of views for catch-up streaming of episodes 2 to 6 recovered in a V-shape and continued to rise for four consecutive weeks, creating a rare phenomenon for a TV drama series.
The original work is a 2023 Korean drama of the same name. It is a mystery story about Shinjo Masamune (played by Saito), who becomes a kidnapper to pay for his daughter's heart surgery, and Nanase Rin (played by Yuno Nagao), a genius girl with amnesia whose parents were murdered, as they evade the pursuit of mysterious men and get closer to the truth behind the murder. The final episode (episode 9) will be broadcast on September 2nd.
