Producer and The Girl Who Sees Smells Leads the Drama Content Power Index for First Half of 2015

• smelly girl has the cutest OTP

• lol.. KSH is easily topping this index as he did last year which was understandable..

  But tbh it just shows how about the dramas have been this year when you see shows like producers dominate without any competition whatsoever.

  Then you have shows like warm and cozy make the list a clearly ratings failure. Pinocchio once again topped by even Smelly girl. that show just didn't do good and barely survived at 10% ratings 1% away from the failure list and it also made the list.. Long gone are the days of Megahit shows..

  • oops about=bad

  • The ranking was for the period between January-June of 2015 so Pinocchio did very well to be in third place when most part of the drama was aired in 2015.

    • It was even lower last year on the list. I think shows like Kill me Heal me and Healer took the thunder from them legitimately. Pinocciho could have used these fans and so did healer and KMHM but they blocked each other out into a stalemate which give birth to different small cult followings

    • @Sunbae how come a drama that stole thunder form pinocchio are lower in ranking than Pinocchio ...

    • @sunbae pinocchio listed as no 5 in overall 2014 cpi index. Including dramas of 1st half and 2nd half of the yr. when it was just around ep 8. The only drama that currently airing at that time. Pinocchio certainly didnt get affected by healer in korea (only delusional healer ifans said like you) but slightly by kill me heal but again the ratings of kill me heal me didnt surpass pinocchio and didnt jump too much even after pinocchio ended. Just like koala said for a drama that ended its run on 15 jan 2015 the power of pinocchio is impressive as this ranking is ranked only by considering the airing episodes starting jan till june

• Is It just me or some of the drama that made the list, make no sense... Ranking gone wrong?

  • Yeah...i wouldn't go by CPI ranking. Some productions just get more buzz because they have more famous stars, but I wouldn't waste 5 more minutes on some of the dramas on the list - Warm and Cozy is my least favorite 2015 drama though I love the cast and have watched all of the hong sisters' dramas, then there's School 2015 which just ended disappointingly with the tougher twin copping out and going to study abroad (wth), and don't get me starte on Hyde, Jekyll, and Me

    • I agree some of the drama on the list that I actually like are Punch, Kill Me Heal me, Girl see smell, angry mom, currently watching mask which is going pretty good...

      Producer fan do not stone me but I did not get the hype of producer, all I saw was a bunch of all star cast which was the high light of the drama and that's about it, maybe just me....

• Pinocchio is a hit rating or no rating.when the show was airing,the leads and the drama itself where 1 on Naver top search engine.last year,it was 1 on CPI ranking when airing.when korean friend to me than Pinocchio was so popular when it was airing,epecially in seoul.Pinocchio was the only drama that aired last year and still managed to make to top 5 this year.

  • Do you know the definitely of hit? non of the dramas on the list was a hit but decent some of them.

    • Definition*

  • Pinochio is not a rating hit no matter how popular it is. in fact no drama in the list is a rating hit

    • Not really. What's With This Family did hit 40%++

  • Last year, You're All Surrounded was the highest rating for SBS drama despite airing during Sewol tragedy.

• Seeing as discussion buzz and the level of activity at the drama's forums are included in determining ranking, I'm not surprised that the list is the way it is. KMHM was the power drama of 2015 but The Girl Who Sees Smells, Producer and Pinocchio did have a more buzzy cast. The fact that the leads of those dramas are gorgeous men and women with ridiculously large fanbases would explain why the dramas ranked so high despite (in my humble opinion) some of them being complete stinkers. I'm really glad that Angry Mom, Healer and KMHM made the list though, proving that quality will out.

  • It was not forum activity cuz if it comes to forum activity and shippers KMHM and healer should have won this poll only based on forum activity and buzz on the cyper world especially Healer non of these in the list comes close to healer when it comes to cyber activity..

    Rating wise I believe they were all bad except Producer and still it was not good either

    • I believe it only counts korean not international fans so healer is unfortunate

• Kill me heal me, Mask and Punch should be higher :/

• Hopefully I'll be seeing My Beautiful Bride in the 2nd half of 2015. I would say it's might be the best drama of this year. Just so EPIC
  And I do agree that Mask being ranked that high is a joke.

• I didn't really find the Girl Who See Smells any good. The coincidences and stupidity of the police were frustrating to watch. At one moment, they couldn't go from point a to b but suddenly when the plot requires, they figured out up to z...

  I'm also surprised that it beat Pinnochio and Kill Me Heal Me.. Oh well..

  • I was shocked by how utterly and totally stupid it was and how many plot points it just forgot about or dropped.

    • Totally agreeing with you guys. Smelly girl was beyond stupid when it came to the polices and their investigation. I was most frustrated and annoyed at the last 6 episodes. The writer should totally try and watch OCN dramas or something ==.

• I find it puzzling that Girl who Sees Smells became such a hot issue, the leads did well at acting but the story was stupider than my mother's golden retriever.

  Pinocchio being this high on the CPI is impressive since it finished in early January. And no drama these days is going to get 20 percent any more unless you air it on a Friday night with no competition from other dramas. But Pinocchio, Punch, Kill Me Heal Me, Heard It Through the Grapevine etc definitely count as hits since they came first in their time slot and sold out advertising. Why else would Ji Sung end up causing lipsticks to sell out?

  • Pinochio should get more high since this count cpi from jan to june which it should accumulate more cpi index since it longer aired but new drama like producer and the girl who sees smile which just finish aired just finish airing already top pinocchio in this cpi index show that pinocchio is not that impressive

    • What are you talkinng about?lmao
      you sound so bitter

    • Ermmm but this cpi index didnt accumulate pinocchio's from ep 1 tho but just THE LAST 5 eps which were airing from early january till 15 january. Please read carefully tht this cpi index is from JAN-JUNE 2015.

• I'm sure Mask's CPI rating would go higher seeing that this ranking was just until June and Mask just got even better got more buzz this month of July.
