Because it was juvenile justice cancelled?
We could argue the case that it was incredibly surprising that juvenile justice It has been canceled. After looking at the weekly data on the chart below, the series did not perform badly, but it did not perform exceptionally well either. In total, the series had 134.56 million hours watched while in the top 10 for seven weeks.
| week period | Hours seen (M) | Range | Week in the Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 20, 2022 to February 27, 2022 | 17,410,000 | 3 | one |
| February 27, 2022 to March 6, 2022 | 45,930,000 (+164%) | one | 2 |
| March 6, 2022 to March 13, 2022 | 25,940,000 (-44%) | one | 3 |
| March 13, 2022 to March 20, 2022 | 17,220,000 (-34%) | 4 | 4 |
| March 20, 2022 to March 27, 2022 | 12,510,000 (-27%) | 6 | 5 |
| March 27, 2022 to April 3, 2022 | 9,340,000 (-25%) | 8 | 6 |
| April 3, 2022 to April 10, 2022 | 6,210,000 (-34%) | 10 | 7 |
The second season saw an exceptional increase in watch hours, an astonishing 164%, however, in the weeks that followed, the number of watch hours dropped significantly. Overall, for a k-drama series, it did enough where we could have seen a revamp; however, if Netflix chooses to invest in more exciting k-dramas elsewhere, we can understand the reason for the cancellation.
