One Word: Disappointing! I expected much more, I mean is it just me or the volume is high and low during the episodes? I loved Jdrama and TWdrama version, but so far Kdrama version is not cutting it, it seems to be missing something, can’t tell what it is. Anyways, maybe I’ll try to see what happens in the next few eps.

Frankly, first you have BYJ, then you have this KHJ who tries to imitate BYJ in every sense…please enough is enough. The younger version is equally Yuck!! Am so happy that the drama flop at the beginning. That will send these two metrosexual men, rethink about their apperance and appeal to fans!! I still believe actor with good acting skills like YJT will stand firm in the industry over time, as compared to these two pretty boys!!

Isn’t the plot about the Gumiho being set free into the human world by accident and really wanting to join the human race as per the old gumiho myth with a modern twist? Well at least MGIAG does not have loopholes like Baker King KTG – the characters actions all make sense and have meaning (as per javabeans commentary on Hong’s sisters great writing)

TakGu’s mom later is very wealthy but i don’t get why it took her SO LONG to find him – she could have just hired some Private Investigator to track him down with the money she has. And also his dad – he saw him at the bakery and the dad saw pics of TakGu as a grown up before that but couldn’t recognise him just because he had flour on his face? Ughhhh – that irritates me like mad – the show somehow mocks us audience – I feel like they are insulting our intelligence as viewers.

I could care less about KJH being the lead. Whoever is writing the script is doing a shit job. That’s my complaint.

Considering that PK is a remake of both a Taiwanese drama and Japanese manga, I would’ve thought the prospects for an international market would be severely limited, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

Here’s another quote from the article:

“For now, the number of visitors to our homepage for Playful Kiss is facing the sharpest growth amidst all our programmes homepages. And in particular, visitors from Japan, China, Malaysia, South America etc takes the steepest rise”.

So even though domestic ratings aren’t very impressive, the sheer number of downloads and website hits show there is a lot of international interest in the drama. Question is though, how will they export this, whether it be broadcast rights or DVD boxsets, when everyone has already downloaded it?
