• ouch! I feel bad for the casts and crews. There are too many crappy drama nowadays, I dropped many of them after 2nd or 3rd episode. How does it feel acting in a drama that nobody is watching....>.<

  • The storyline is just bad. This is basically Operation Love (or Operation Proposal foe Korean version) but with a much much more annoying and useless lead male and way way too over the top. The girl is not much better.

    I actually like Uee and Jaejoong but I had to drop this to save myself for their future works.

• is the drama that bad? or is it because of uee and kangnam controversy that turns off koreans from watching?. anyway i feel bad for the whole.team.

  • Koreans don't even care about the controversy. The main problems are the story and the acting. It's super cringey.

  • As Wienya wrote, Koreans don’t really care about UEE’s dating life at all, nor what Jaejoong said on stage ad how some people misinterpreted it. The drama is just plain bad and acting is really awkward.

  • I think rather than the scandals, the leading pair and secondary leads are lacking in star power and hence the low premiere ratings. Then the plot and acting comes into play, which made the ratings drop even more.

• Before watching it and just reading the plot I thought "hey this would be a nice light hearted drama", something a little like Jdorama Operation Love. Unfortunately it wasn't... its too cheesy with over the top acting and annoying characters. The main problem I have is the story it just doesn't connect with you or with itself.

• Not related, but uee's arms in that larger pic where she's holding a camera freak me out. She's too thin. There's no way that can be healthy

  • Agree. She looks like she'll break if you touch her.

    • Agree. She looks different and thinner each time I saw her. Hopefully she is doing well.

• Really? I didn't realise it was being universally panned. UEE is a bit stiff but I like the other characters and it's a fun zany watch. It's over the top but total campy craziness that makes me laugh. And IMHO Jae Joong is doing a good job.

  • True. It is not that bad. Jaejoong was a bit OTT in the first episode but he came off quite nicely by the 4th episode. I kinda enjoy his acting. I admit that UEE is pretty dissapointing. Th storyline isn't that bad and I find myself laughing over the comedy each episode.

• I expected low ratings, but this is just painful to witness. I wonder if they'll shorten it or cancel it altogether. I mean, if it keeps dropping it will end up with 0% rating by mid-drama.

  • ? Ouch

• ouch :)

• I might give it a go! You'll never know! I hate ratings!

• The drama isn't so bad ( a lot of dramas through the years were worse). I don't think that's related to the "scandals" of the leads either. But,
  1- uee is absent minded , she's barely present(so thin that she can vanishes at every moment!)
  2- jaeejong a contrario is overacting as he wants to compensate what is lacking in the drama.
  3- I'm sad for all the cast and crew, they should cut the no of épisodes like they did with "My heart twinkle, twinkle"

  • Really sad to read that about UEE. I of course don't know if it's an eating disorder or some other type of illness but there's something definitely going on with her.

    • She really needs to gain some weight. Hopefully there's some one out there who can help her, or perhaps she can help herself by getting psychological consultations and stuff. I too feel sad; she just looks more and more haggard by the day.

• i feel so bad for the cast and crew.

  i so wanted jaejoong's comeback to be a success, but i guess it wasn't meant to be. he might have been better off with the initial offer of the mini drama. i forgot the title but i remembered reading about it somewhere.

  this is baro's first flop isn't it? all his previous dramas were a ratings success if i remember correctly. well, you can't always win it all i guess.
