Poster Battle of Descendants of the Sun and Please Come Back Ahjusshi
The K-media is starting to write articles about the head-to-head competition next week of two high profile K-dramas. Descendants of the Sun and Please Come Back Ahjusshi would be fodder for competition simply by airing on the same Wed-Thurs time slot around the same time, the fact that it premieres on the same day rather than one or two weeks apart makes the anticipation higher to see a convincing winner right out of the gate. No one knows which drama is better qualitatively, or for that matter which one will appeal to the current audience appetite.
Both KBS and SBS have been doing solid ratings for that time slot, Remember (Son’s War) was the winner over The Merchant: Gaekju 2015 but Merchant’s ratings were decent in and of itself. Without seeing the dramas yet, the official drama posters are out for both shows and can be viewed and assessed independently, and on that platform I give the win to Ahjusshi for doing creative and funny posters which highlight the main drama premise in one glance – dead dudes get second chance in hottie bodies, comedy and tears to ensue. I don’t dislike DotS posters but it’s so unimaginatively slapped together, it actually makes me miss the Heirs posters lol, at least those unabashedly showcased the shallow pretty.

Which set of drama posters do you all like better? And for that matter – which drama will you press watch first? It’s wonderful to be overseas and not have to really pick since I’m planning to watch both, it’s really a question of which one first.

Yassssss. That's the only drama I am waiting for!
I'm not really up for action blockbusters currently, so I'll say Please Come Back Ahjusshi interests me more.
Come back looks more interesting to me ,DOTS just sounds boring and I have ZERO faith for the writer .
If I lived in Korea, I'd definitely choose Ajussi over DotS...
Ahjusshi looks more fun to me. The subject matter is also more mindless and entertaining while DoTS feels like more of an effort to watch.
I will choose DotS, because I don't like most of the Actors of PcbA and the storyline is not good enough for me to watch it beside the Actors.
Full Disclosure: I'm watching them both. I think Ahjusshi posters are much more creative, but I think DOS is going to win the ratings battle. The Songs plus the very popular writer equals a success regardless of the quality. I think if Ahjusshi can work it's way into 7 to 9 percent range, I'd call it a win.
Well, I was going to give DotS a chance after watching the MV of Always. Then, I found out it will be on VikiPass exclusively. So, I guess that chance is now kaput.
Rains drama is just like any other romantic comedy out there, so I will pass on it for now.
It should be available on DramaFever too.
Well... you can still watch it, just waaay later. :/ it's only exclusive to VikiPass for two weeks. So after that everyone will be able to watch it. Meaning the first episode will be publicly available on Viki on March 9th. The question is whether KBSWorld and their subs won't be quicker (since the first ep airs March 2nd on KBSWorld and sometimes they upload their stuff to YT).
I actually don't think it'll be on DramaFever, Viki is claiming to have an EXCLUSIVE license over it for Europe, the Americas and the Middle East, which would mean no DOTS on DramaFever or Hulu. Which also makes me wonder if YT will have the KBSWorld Uploads blocked for those countries.
I'm anticipating Comeback more than DotS. DotS seems like a big snoozefest with a assholish hero and absent heroine, just like every KES' drama while Comeback looks very promising and funny.
First, I'll read Koala's recaps for dots, and then decide.
Same! Will read the recaps to the first two episodes of each show before deciding XD
