Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Yeom Hye Ran, and more starrer highly awaited variety show My Name is Gabriel hasn't been able to garner a steady viewership regardless of its star cast. Compared to the side-by-side premiered Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Go Min Si, and more starrer Jinny's Kitchen 2, which has been reigning the viewership ratings, My Name is Gabriel seems to have lost the viewership battle.

Park Bo Gum and Ji Chang Wook’s My Name is Gabriel fails against Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik’s Jinny's Kitchen 2 in the viewership race

My Name is Gabriel starring Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Yeom Hye Ran, Park Myung Soo, Dex and more premiered on June 21, 2024. Being one of the most anticipated variety shows of the year with a star-studded cast and a unique concept it was expected to do great vis-a-vis viewership ratings. 


However, My Name is Gabriel has not been able to garner a steady viewership and has been struggling to triumph over Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik’s Jinny’s Kitchen 2. Many experts according to The Korea Herald have noted that the failure of My Name is Gabriel is because it has not been able to use PD Kim Tae Ho nicely.

Meanwhile, My Name is Gabriel stars top actors like Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Yeom Hye Ran, Dex, comedian Park Myung Soo, and more and yet it has lagged behind. Additionally, producer Kim Tae Ho is known for his hit variety shows like Infinite Challenge due to which My Name is Gabriel's low viewership comes as a surprise.
