Despite the positive change in the ratings of the Pinoy adaptation series, Coco Martin’s FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano still holds its number one spot.
With its earlier timeslot, Descendants of the Sun fans are now hoping for the show’s continuous improvement in the ratings game since it is now placed in the most-watched spot in primetime.
Here are some netizens who gave mixed reactions about Descendants of the Sun‘s new timeslot:
It's our exam week so I think I will not be able to watch DOTS PH for a while. I hope GMA will upload full episodes soon. I'm still giving my support and wishing for the success of DOTS PH with its new timeslot. STAN DOTS PH!

Hindi ko gusto yung new Timeslot.
Look. #DOTSPh can make it but #AnakNiWarayVSAnakNiBiday can't with Make It With You. Makakaya naman sana nila kung plain and fair ang promtions. Hindi yang DOTS lang pinaglalaban ninyo. Maganda din sana yung WarayBiday at Love Of My Life.— KB Amaya – Christiane (@KBChristiane) February 29, 2020
Sana eh maging mas successful Ang DOTS sa bago nitong timeslot #DOTSPHTheKiss@KapusoBrigade@encabattalionkb
