First Look at High School Lee Seon Kyun and Queen Maker Lee Mi Sook in Miss Korea — 7 Comments

  1. Lol MBC generally just needs a miniseries hit – they actually had none other than GFB. It has been undoubtedly the worst network out of the three both in quality and mostly in ratings. MTT seriously sinked in nowhere’s land and I was so shocked because I thought that was a sure success. It had a star studded cast, an acclaimed PD and commendable writer. That was actually one of the most shocking duds of the year for me.

    The SM girls are doing great for themselves though. Go Ara’s 1994 is a huge huge ratings hit and Yoona’s PM&I is quite the talk along with this show. Both these shows are the most awaited ones for the winter season – at least in Korea – from what I see in the buzz.

    This looks good. I may give it a try even if I have a slight allergy towards LYH. LSK looks adorable in a goofy and unrealistic kinda way. Hopefully this will be a good laugh.

  2. Well, MBC does have a hit at the moment. Empress Ki is hovering just below a 20% share, and will no doubt grow in the coming weeks. But otherwise it is true, it’s been a bad year for MBC.

    • MBC has a lot of high rated ‘drama series’ like ISYG, HD, HYI, Scandal. And Empress Ki includes in those because it’s a 50 episode-r. They have no miniseries hit, but have done really well with the longer dramas.

      • Three of the above are weekend series though (not as prestigious as weekday dramas), and they haven’t done that well with weekday series at all – aside from Horse Doctor, nothing broke the 20% mark, though Gu Family Book did well and so is Empress Ki.

      • @Pog- completely agree that they desperately need a hit in the weekday slot. Because other than GFB and now Empress Ki, they don’t even have a drama that generated online buzz. Missing you and HD were awarded last year – so ethnically they are considered 2012 dramas. I was more pointing out that MBC just needs a miniseries to do well.

        I don’t particularly think weekenders are less prestigious though. They are generally high rated and brings in the money in from advertisers. But yea… I think at this point MBC would be happy if any of their miniseries manages to stay in double digits. Wanting 20% is dreaming high lol.
