It's not near to hit, but it's not bad. This is cable channel and the airing time is also quite late than the others.

With a cast like that, I'm not surprised. It's the most aesthetically pleasing cinematography in a drama, but that itself can't cover its faults. It's a first for me being disappointed in drama, with a favourite writer and director. However I'm holding on because of Im Joo Hwan's character backstory, which is more exciting than whether Ha Baek finds them stones :S

I don't know there's something about the drama, that makes we feel so disengaged as a viewer. I've never read the Manwha, but it seemed so interesting when dramabeans first mentioned it. Aside from that I'm thoroughly enjoying "Reunited Worlds", and might pick up FOS since everyone is praising it :)

I'll never forgive this show for making me dislike NJH. I have pretty much found him adorable in all the shows before but BOTWG made me think that he is a terrible, terrible actor with a blindingly beautiful face.

Am not happy with how BOTWG is doing/dunno where the story is going ... and .... moral of the story .... "what is pretty on the outside, need not have really pretty/good content inside"!

tvn is cable tv so those kinda ratings are pretty normal and good actually

honestly, I'm surprise it was that high tbh. It is beautiful drama but the plot tho... The only saving grace of this drama is Huye/Im Joo Hwan. unfortunately this drama highlight what NJH cant do as an actor.

It's actually doing quite well for M/T tvn, better than anything recently. And tvn isn't what it used to be ratings wise anyway.

Because it is not good,sorry.

When I was watching Forest of Secrets ep 15, I was literally breathless because I had been unconsciously holding my breath.

I kept thinking:
"This is how you do tension!" "This is how you suck in the audience without manipulation!" "This acting is daebak!" "This is how you direct" "This is how you do dramas!!!!!!"

We are now spoiled...maybe too spoiled to enjoy anything less.

I just don't know how I'll be able to watch any crime-thrillers without ever comparing it to the masterpiece that is Forest of Secrets.

I should've gotten tired by singing its praise, but it is worth saying every time. This show is AMAZING

Forest of Secrets.. you an amazing thing. *sobs*

Really, I'm not ready to let you go yet *cries a river*

This drama should at least win at Baeksang as the Best Drama and Best Screenplay. I know it will be hard to get Daesang since this is not a hit and in the recent years, Daesang has been given to the highest rated drama. But just like Signal and Dear My Friends which both won the same categories, I am wishing this drama to get the same recognition too.

Even the supporting characters are well developed (Eun-soo, Proc. Yoon, Lee Chung-jae, Seo Dong-jae, Yeon-ja, Proc. Kang) and well acted. I'll cry after FoS ends. Thank you for spoiling us. We are now spoiled bastard who will only complain and complain watching other dramas.

I also gave Criminal Minds a go and was underwhelmed by most everything. Same old, same old. The one thing that I would say I loved was Lee Jun-ki's broken expression. Shades of MLSHR.

i was so excited about CM and LJK .... and here we are, yet another LJK show where i'm left complaining about direction and editing ... complete deja vu ...

I agree that FIS is really excellent, but to have fare comparison I was not so in love in the first two episodes... So in a fair comparison if I compare the show first two episodes together, CM is not terribly worst than FOS. In addition they have different genre, FOS is more about law/politic/corruption while CM is mainly about homicide criminals with different story every week. As much as I like FOS I think the way people are comparing both show is not fair at all...

Now let's make a prayer circle and start praying to dramagods for a season 2!

Forest of Secrets - AMAZING

I love forest of secrets ... and I think CM is good too ...

I'm quietly rooting for School 2017 too. Please, please, please rise to 5%.

Woman of Dignity : Ladies and makjang power !

I really want to get behind School 2017 because it's my first school k-drama and I find Kim Jung-hyun both compelling and sexy. However, I find myself having the most difficulty to watch and keep up with this show. It's probably a combination of a lot of different factors like I really dislike the female lead and most of the other female students, the schools tactics, and the pacing. I'm hanging in there though, barely.

Oh yay! Following from our discussion on the episode 2 recap of 'Falsify', I'm glad to see it doing well with the domestic audience.

Must watch Forest of Secrets. The reviews are spectacular.

i know right, this year seems to be a good year for MBC

That you have to!!!!

exactly, the acting is stellar!! the story is really spinning now, also...

Most of the noise on the internet are not from the people who actually watch their shows on tv.

Honestly, all the bad reviews about Man Who Lives To Die were about inappropriate portrayal of Muslims, I read good half of reviews and I still have zero idea about the quality of this show (for other than those 5 minutes which offended nearly everyone).

I only watched the first 4 eps and decided it wasn't for me but maybe people like that kind of silly comedy. I found I didn't like any of the characters (basically everyone was a jerk or way over the top or pathetic) so I didn't continue with it, which is a pity because I do actually like the cast and wanted to watch them. Maybe next time.

They always post the Sunday ratings on Monday, you can check their older Drama Viewership Ratings, they always update it.
