Failing Ja Myung Go may call it quits early
News is starting to leak that SBS’s Ja Myung Go [자명고] is hurrying to wrap up and will very likely end early, falling short of its initial 50-episode plan to sign off at Episode 39. Ouch. I actually feel sorry for the drama production, because it’s like they’ve essentially given up on their grand historical... More »

Kwon Sang-woo would like more viewers, please
And wouldn’t we all? Oh, Kwon Sang-woo. I understand that you’re in something of a career slump after being one of the hottiest hotties of the early 2000s, and yeah, both your best buds Song Seung-heon and So Ji-sub came off pretty strong series in the past two months… but is bargaining for more viewers...

Who’s watching Ja Myung Go?
And I ask that as a real question, not in sarcasm, because it seems the large-scale extravaganza is meeting with all sorts of “disheartening” setbacks and “embarrassments,” as several articles point out. SBS’s current Monday-Tuesday drama Ja Myung Go [자명고] was hyped up as a big action historical series starring Jung Ryeo-won and was expected... More »

Good Job, Queen of Housewives
Eom Ki-joon, Chae Rim of “Good Job, Good Job” There are a couple of new dramas on the block, although I don’t know if either of them will make a splash. Both come from MBC, who’s probably sweating bullets now that East of Eden has left the building, and taken with it its high-profile stars,... More »

Ja Myung Go kicks off with a whimper
So, who caught the premiere of Jung Ryeo-won‘s new grand historical series Ja Myung Go [자명고]? (It has apparently dropped the “Princess” from its title.) …Nobody? Well, you’re not alone — ratings were abysmal (4.1%), considering the months of hype leading up to it. After trying to maneuver its premiere to evade ratings behemoths East... More »

Reruns of Boys Before Flowers beating first-run programming
Boys Before Flowers‘ ratings are high for its new episodes, but even re-broadcasts are holding strong — Sunday reruns recorded an 8.6% for Episode 3 and a whopping 13.4% for Episode 4. Not only is it unusual for a rerun to pull in double-digit numbers, it’s even outperforming Sunday’s new programming, such as MBC’s variety... More »

Flower boy power
Lee Min-ho, Lee Min-ho, Lee Min-ho. Everywhere you look right now, everyone’s talking about Lee Min-ho. And for good reason, since the formerly little-known actor has experienced a meteoric rise in visibility — and popularity — since last week, headlining KBS’s newest smash success, Boys Before Flowers. The newfound attention has turned up pictures that... More »

“Wind” and “Virus” off to a neck-and-neck start
…and we’re off! KBS and MBC both premiered their new dramas today, one a sageuk starring Jumong star Song Il-kook (Kingdom of Wind), and the other a classical-music-based drama featuring White Tower‘s intense Kim Myung-min (Beethoven Virus). Both come highly anticipated, not least because we’ve got two big names going head-to-head. While KBS has had... More »

“Eden,” “Marriage” off to shaky starts
With a special broadcast kicking off the East of Eden extravaganza, eyes have turned to the upcoming Monday-Tuesday ratings rivalry, although Tazza won’t be making its debut until Gourmet ends in a few weeks. Oddly enough, Eden chose to air a one-hour special on Monday, and plans to air both Episodes 1 & 2 on... More »

Monday-Tuesday ratings analysis: One hit, one cult following, one flop
When Night Comes, Strongest Chil Woo This is interesting because I’m actually watching all three Monday-Tuesday dramas right now, and I agree with the general points made, and yet find the outcome curious. Gourmet is the undeniable winner, consistently earning more viewers than When Night Comes and Strongest Chil Woo combined — and based on... More »
