They're making history for JTBC, I love it

I love that it was this show that made it ???

Yayyyy to Strong Woman Do Bong Soon!! I am love love loving it! The chemistry between PBY and PHS is electric.. I am able to overlook the jarred editing, tiresome ahjumma meetings, Taek guys' gross humour and the not-so-blending sub-plots for these two. I am loving Bong Soon's brother too. He's quite a good actor.

I overlooked mom's behaviour and ignored it as fun because moms like that are very common in India. There are worst cases in real. That was till ep 6. When Bong Soon cried her heart out to her mother I really started hating the mother.(PBY really emoted well)!The way Ahn Min Hyuk and Bong Soon's father connected affected me deeply. The scene wasn't lengthy but it said volumes about dad's deep love and care for Bong Soon and MinHyuk's baby but sincere steps in the same path. When he said that he too cares for her, I melted.. and dad's subsequent reactions double melted me. The training scenes and PHS's subtle expressions of care, amazement and adoration for my puppy girl are beyond words. I can watch 20 more episodes of PBY and PHS bickering, loving, hating each other.

When I started reading What we are watching I was quite tensed about about how our dramabeans overlords are gonna evaluate the show. But I was glad to know that they unanimously expressed their love for the show. And today I got up with the news that it broke records in viewership ratings.( not that I am too much into ratings. But more ratings, more love for our beloved actors). Sorry for the long rant! I was trying to keep the joy of finding a new crack in. But I am unable to control it!

Rise, Do Bong-soon, rise!!
I'm happy for my new crack show and happy pill.

I hope jTBC and OCN won't follow this step - in order to maintain the popularity and high rating produce low quality drama. I still have hope for TvN and jTBC to continue producing good drama -jTBC has Man To Man, Age of Youth season 2, TvN still has many drama like Chicago, Circle etc. Having high rating is great but to consistently producing good quality drama is important too, and that's what make cable and public stations different. Strangely, being a cable girl last year, I found this year, I am drawn more to public stations drama. Still early to conclude anyway but this is based on my current situation. TWY is good but maybe the earlier episodes failed to attract viewers. It is not kind of drama that can be a hit, but I expected it can be at least around 2%.

This is not a strange phenomenon and is very common in kdrama land. Look at MDBC for example. People tune in after after they hear positive feedbacks from the show

People hear a show is great, they may catch up with online viewing too. So it creates new audience.

I remember when True Blood was in its first season and blowing people away. Commenters on a forum I read were saying "I signed up for HBO, I have to watch this show right away!" and the ratings went up every single week.

No guarantee, what if they switch to the next show, still 2 more weeks to know.

That weekend MBC drama is also included, which its reached 13% above

I've seen dbs get called overrated and overhyped,
again it just popular
I don't see people graded their writing and editing of the idea as masterpiece or the best thing ever,

it gives enjoyment when the comedy can be taken as face value while defending weak people against the strong,
many comedy as I see also parody of another popular things is south korea so you may lost in translation,

I think it deserves the rating, it's 9%, haven't even reach goblin wise to be this giant popular things,
why become so negative for achievement?
if people like it because of the pairing, then let it be,
it's a cute pairing played by cute actors, you don't think the crew and the actors need a payoff for trying this kinds of drama?
drama when woman is the powerful one, literally?
if you don't like it, then it's okay,
but to call it overrated and overhype when people around the globe are properly aware of the flaw and didn't call it 10/10 or "a drama for certain mood" is a false observation

I get evyone hav diff opinions n its ok to state them. At the same time it feels salty. N like u all have a purpose on raining on people's parade. You cant expect to write comments like that n expect people wouldnt reply n rebutt yours..

You don't get nor understand because it is simply not your taste. (people have varying preferences & it is perfectly normal). It just happen that it suits some people's humor and it did appealed to them which makes the show deserving of its 9% ratings at least for those who enjoy it.

The words overrated & overhyped are overly used to describe this show's success. No one praises it for being a masterpiece some even admits its flaws but still enjoys it nonetheless so it crosses out my definition of overrated.
& with regards to the other, I don't understand how come it is overhyped?

Exactly i feel u. Theres less warmth n honey going around these days. Theres more lemons as you put it...and comments that are salty. I dont comment as much as i did befor too. Does t feel too good when people are out with a vendetta to rain on other people's parade

Nah DB is always been a place full of critism. IMO around 2008-2011 there is alot of review full of salty comment and even make fun of a bad show. DB is now is getting softer if I must say!

no. 3 is the answer of SWDBS. People who keep talking sh*t about DBS just bcuz DBS isnt their cup of tea are super childish. You cant judge a preference. when the majority of Koreans watched DBS, who are you to judge or to teach them what kind of drama suit them???

KDRAMAS ARE MADE BY KOREANS FOR KOREANS. if some get distributed to other countries, it's just bcuz other countries like the story. THE STORY THAT MADE BY KOREANS FOR KOREANS. even a adaptation drama needs to be adapted into one culture.

no.3 explained everything. very good explanation and totally agree.

sorry i meant, 1-4 explained everything ^^
