Will you have a cameo in his drama YY?

I'm always waiting for that 😍

He's coming in Switzerland this week and I won't be able to see his dimples :(

I am so behind in my dramas. The last dramas I watched were A Moment at 18 ep 1 and Rookie ep 1. Too lazy to continue watching, it's like I know I'd enjoy watching them, but it's just too much of an effort. Only the thought of Hyun bin stirs my interest.

For me, A Love to Kill was his best drama. All his other dramas didn't appeal to me.

I was underwhelmed with that at first but watched a couple more eps now. I'm not sure if I want to stick with it. I just don't find it terribly interesting and I'm starting to think I find Rain charmless?

Availability update. GF is also airing on Viki!
I went to Viki to check the "Coming Soon" list to see if MY COUNTRY is there and noticed the availability of GRACEFUL FAMILY. It may have been on the CS list but I don't remember seeing it which gives me hope that JTCB's MY COUNTRY will still be picked up by Viki.

I enjoyed Graceful Family, but I have not seen it anywhere on Dramabeans.

I just realize why the executives in Beom-soo's company want to halt Jin-joo's drama because her story is not common to attract the rating. Sadly, it happens to "Melo Suits Me." :(( This drama is so good because it's authentic and unique. But not everyone likes something like that... :(

Congrats to the cast and crew!
In this time of general low ratings, it's a big achievement!
They also broke few records: best ratings of the year for OCN and it feels right.

Do you think it's possible to have a new instalment in regards its open ending, and OCN has made several other serials into several seasons (God's Quiz, Voice, and Save Me)?

Sorry to break it. They have not filmed more episodes, so sadly it is gonna take long time before seeing any season 2 and a conclusion for Love alarm.... Cast have moved on with Kim So hyun filming for The tale of Nokdu and Song kang in When the devil calls your name. Reason I have not even started to watch Love alarm because of this. Just irritating having to wait a long time for an ending to the story...

Netflix gave the ratings for this show?

They had this same problem in the States/Canada Tv industries and I think it's for the same reason. A show or two gets massive, a new audience is discovered, someone makes heaps of money and then they try to recreate that by pumping out ridiculous volumes of content. Some of it is excellent but a lot of it is generic pulp used to fill time slots.

Then they start to extend shows or cut them. Quality falls. People don't know what they're getting into with a new show. Will it be cut? Will they announce it's seasonal? Will it end badly? How do they choose what to watch when there's a dozen new shows starting? You don't have everyone at, say, your work watching the same show because of the huge variety available and so the sense of community around watching is gone.

And so people delay watching or don't pick up anything new at all, waiting to see how other people feel about it or what ratings it got or what the reviews say. Netflix wading it with its antics isn't helping.

Ratings will continue to fall as long as the industry is pumping out huge volumes of content just for the sake of pumping out content. The fact is, everybody would watch a bad show if it was the only one on and everyone else is watching it. They're not going to watch 10 bad shows and they're certainly not going to sift through the 12 airing to find the two that aren't bad.

Unfortunately, as long as the industry is making money from quantity rather than quality, ratings will continue to fall.

A lot of it has to do with the watching model. The #s we get in this column are just the regular Nielson's for watching live. I don't think they include DVR copies that are watched within the next 24 hours. They definitely don't include online/app views.
