After suffering through widespread acting criticism of its leading man, Jung Yunho and dismal single digit ratings, MBC's Heading to the Ground finally headed out of our tv screens on the 4th in dismal fashion.According to TNS Media Korea on the 5th, the finale episode rating was only 4.3% while the average rating for the whole series was 5.2%. The drama had ended much earlier with 16 episodes instead of the scheduled 20 after MBC decided that enough was enough, especially with the poor ratings. Competing dramas like KBS2TV's IRIS and SBS's You're Beautiful continue to do well respectively with ratings of 30.7% and 9.8% respectively.
There was great anticipation for Heading to the Ground at the beginning as it was the leader of TVXQ, Yunho's acting debut and he was partnered with co-stars like Go Ara, Lee Yoon Ji, Lee Sang Yoon, etc. In addition, the drama was about soccer which was one of Korea's favourite sports after baseball.
