Thank you for the update

I think Poseidon's drama ratings can increase if they manage to keep that fast storyline moving. Athena was horrible in that the story made no sense but the action was great.

For now I'm still going to watch it because of Choi Siwon.
But I agree, the soundtrack MUST go.

Yes, the soundtrack is quite awful. Please, someone fix that. But I figure if I made it through Alllmooooost paaaaraaaadiiiiiiise I can make it through this. Heh. I'm determined to like this drama, but I'm really hoping things improve over the next couple of episodes and it finally hits its stride.

Spy Myung-wol's premiere had higher rating though, it was above 9% I think.

Hope Poseidon rating will improve.

the soundtrack did bother me at the beginning ..especially the upbeat song at the beginning..I think Poseidon was one that I did not know what to expect but kind of also expected a certain kind of drama from it..so when the expectations was different, I have to adjust. LOL

I have sort of got used to the drama's soundtrack by the 2nd episode. wonder how that happens. perhaps the folks at the music score department saw the feedback from netizens and quickly adjusted/toned down the music. Guess that is one point for live shoots???

I am especially hooked to that song that goes "baby, cause you know that nobody take you down..." cheesy but it fit some of the funny beats when Sun Woo and Si young's character bicker. As long as they don't overdo the music, i think it is fine....:)

I am continuing to watch Poseidon for Siyoung/Siwon. I love these two and i wish they will have more scenes of them both...

i think ep 2 for poseidon was a definite improvement over ep 1 - some of the really obviously...weird looking cg evened out, and the OST bothered me less...not sure if it was bc i had already begun to tune it out or they had toned it down...

but the plot is definitely zipping along =D

As a newly minted WBDS fan, I have to say, the ost for poseidon really kills, especially since I just finished watching Tamra where the soundtrack was really great (it may be just Im Joo Hwan's smiles...but I swear the music was good!)

I too survived Almost Paradise but that had LMH on screen and sadly, Choi Si Won doesn't quite compensate for the charisma of LMH despite his awesome abs.

I THINK ITS BECAUSE EVERYBODY JUST READS DRAMAS NOW

Thanks for the update.
WBDS will continue to ace out the competition - the plot ramps up every week with major developments - and the bromance is as hot and sweet as ever (boys hugged it out yesterday. Well, it started off with one trying to kill the other, but whatever..)

I've yet to watch ep 2 of Siwon and the Rest of Them, but do hope the music editor has put away the soju and sobered up. It 's too disconcerting to be watching karate kicks, action scenes, etc., while K-Pop is auto-tuning in the background. My ears hear the music, my brain is picturing unison dancing by pretty boys in crazy outfits. I can't multi-task, Poseidon. Don't make me.

wow sbs's rocking it these days... mbc and kbs should kick it up a knotch.

Unfortunately ep 2 proved that this drama isn't for me. But I do believe it will get better. I'm sure I'll stop back in about halfway to see what's going on.
Glad to hear that others are enjoying it though ;)

this is off topic and maybe this has been mentioned in previous Poseidon posts but has anyone noticed the extra hand that's on Lee Sung Jae's shoulder? they really need to photoshop better.

Ah.....WBDS...love, frastrated, love again, what the heck?..love again....I might as well draw a sword and duel with the writer...eight eps more I will see it thru!

I am surprised at your lack of mention of The Princess' Man - its ratings have equalled - and sometimes surpassed - Baek Dong Soo. In fact last week it ranked 1st nationally. I would have thought it was a serious contender! The storyline is good - although the description of a Romeo & Juliet type story certainly made it unappealing to me at first. However, it has surprised me by portraying the female lead as quietly strong, adventurous and defiant...fighting in her own way her power hungry father. I have also found the lead, Park Shi Hoo interesting (and appealing) as he plays a serious character consumed with hate and revenge through betrayal by the leaders he had faith in and by friendship. It is fairly fast paced and the story has, so far, romped along. I just hope it doesn't suffer the fate of other dramas that lose their steam just past the half way mark ... and spiral downwards ...much like 'Lie to Me' that limped to the end - oh so sadly!

Thanks for the update ... sad to see that Poseidon sort of fizzled in its opening ... I was so looking forward to it.

Well duh! If the english subs had came out, the drama would of be getting more ratings than that!

Can't wait for eng subs! :)

How lame do they think the viewers are ...even for the non-Korean audiences who love Kdrama. It sound like a great (or can be )drama/stories/plots and just because you have an older veteran actors and add 2 good looking idols - the female lead is the girl nobody like in " Boys Before Flowers" , and you think you have a hit ...come on its time to bring in the big gun . We're going to need something BIG to replace " Myung Wol Spy" and " Scent of a woman" - but then i don't know those two can be replace . I am still a fan of Kdrama .

I hope it gets better -.- I feel sorry for the cast but not for the producer, he should be replaced!

you know what?
I believe that every hestorical drama gets high ratings i dunno really whats the secret behinde that !!
but really check it out and you'll be shocked XD ;p

I was feeling under the weather today... and then I pop in here and see the WDBS JCW screensaver in the post. I'm better now. Thank you. Thank you SOOOO much!! WDBS Fighting!!! :-)

I may marathon this once the subs come out, but totally agree with the other commenters that WTF was the Music Editor smoking?!? It must have been really good for the tunes to be all over the board like that. Anyway, time will tell if this one will ever see double-digit ratings down the line...

I'm from the Philippines, KBS2 is airing Eps 17 and 18 of Myung Wol the Spy tonight and tomorrow. Honestly, it's the best Korean drama ever to come out in 2011, very different from the usual dramas, totally entertaining. I hope there will more like Myung Wol the Spy, will Poseidon be it?

Heh Poseidon is way way better. It is very interesting. A lot of good drama there are not much appreciated by the Netizens, but most appreciated outside SK. I dont understand why people are not satisfied or contented. When the drama is too slow, people complain, when it's fast, still have complains... :(

Poseidon's thrilling episode after the other, keeps me wanting to watch what's gonna happen next. You'll get hooked with at 1st episode. Si Won and Si Young look good as a couple.

And to compare, Siwon is not afraid to make faces (funny, angry, nervous, gasping for air, to name a few) unlike other good-looking actors. Want me name one? Oh, I can name two LOL.

LMH (sorry for his fans) but its true. He keeps his face "CUTE" even after running or been punched. That's why I dont find him good in acting. And so is KHJ (again, sorry for his fans). These two are just good-looking actors, popular because of their good-looks, but acting? SOSO

do you know who's singing this songs OST.. the lyric "baby, cause you know that nobody take you down…" ? been searching whole day for this song.. please does anyone know who is the singer and the song tittle?

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME POSEIDON'S ENDING THEME SONG? :) I just can't get it off my head. XD

Anyways, Poseidon probably didn't rate that much because the pilot episode was not impressive enough (well, for me, at least). But I kept watching the series and it was really worth it. :) I don't know why, but in my country, a lot of people seem to like Poseidon just like I do. X) (Well, most of them are ELFs and Siwonest, but biasness aside, we all agree the drama is really good.)

I'm SOOOOOOOO freaking out because of the ending song ;-;
