KBS Drama My Golden Life with Park Shi Hoo and Shin Hye Sun Wins Ratings on Premiere Weekend

View Comments

• I love Shin Hye Sun she's a really good actress. Don't really pay attention to Park Si Hoo.

  • Great acting PSH ^^ Welcome

• people want see the drama,not only park shi ho.

  • weeeh?? if you hate PSH, you will never watch any of his drama or works. the truth of the fact is, he still got some star power. some say its because of lead female, she's a newbie and I dont even know her, Id take a look at this because of PSH acting ability and not because of his so-called scandal, which was big FYI the charge was dropped, so we can only guess if the charge was either extortions or harassment or misunderstanding, you can take your pick be my guest!, as long as he is free and doesnt do raping rampage, the guy is fine and deserve to be back on work.

    • I am sure Park Shi Hoo still has some fans but you're deluding yourself if you think Shin Hye Sun is a newbie with zero influence. She is Yeon Tae from Five Enough and that role was massively loved. Recently, she won over critics and viewers alike as Eun Soo in Secret Forest. This isn't Park Shi Hoo's drama alone. Get your facts right.

    • The real star power here belongs to the network+time slot - KBS weekend dramas have ruled that slot for the last six years, so please stop deluding yourself that Park Shi Hoo is some special draw.

      Even a block of cardboard cast in the lead role would have got those ratings, and KBS knows what it's doing by giving a guaranteed hit family drama to an alleged rapist to clean up his image.

    • Let's look at the facts: A was introduced to Park Shi Hoo by a mutual acquaintance, Kim. According to CCTV tapes, A appeared so drunk on February 14th (even though she didn't drink that much) that Kim had to carry her on his back to Park Shi Hoo's apartment. While Park raped A (who sustained minor injuries from that rape), Kim sexually assaulted her. All the charges were dropped because A withdrew the claim after a settlement. Basically, Park Shi Hoo raped her (with the help of his friend) and paid her off. A rape is still a rape, whether the victim got paid off. Korea should start treating rape as a serious crime, not as a petty nuisance.

    • Yess, I always wait for the weekend to see MGL because I want to meet PSH, he always works well

• I'm sure the writer really like Cheon Ho-jin and Kim Hye-ok. They were in My Daughter Seo-yeong and Two Weeks too.

• Uee probably regretting she didn't take the role. I wouldn't mind seeing PSH in evil roles but I don't think I can stomach seeing him romancing any girls

  • Haha, that was exactly what I was thinking. I kind of feel bad for her because her current drama has the all time lowest rating and this weekend drama is doing good.

  • At least she is not associated with the alleged rapist. Ratings are not everything. Having a clean reputation is important.

    • staring with an aledgedly rapist has nothing to do with reputation. Acting is acting, let alone nobody know for sure if he is guilty or not. Shin Hye Seon and also the drama is doing so well. too bad for UEE

    • You are a negative person, a PSH antifan, do not waste your time doing futility, being a bad person or hurting others.

• This isn't just a Park Shi Hoo drama, it has a pretty solid and well loved female lead in Shin Hye Sun. Her stars are rising and this show is about her life and struggles. Also, the secondary cast is well liked. Also, this has a famous writer. Also, maybe domestic viewers don't care enough about the scandal that rose and died on its own. Remember, we don't know the details of what happened beyond the initial he did, she did drama. So, yeah I am not surprised by the numbers.
  Feel bad for Uee. She wanted to avoid scandal by associating with Park Shi Hoo but instead is now a part of a sinking ship.

  • I'm guessing PSH has REALLY great connections to score the male lead for a well stacked drama like this.

    • He comes from a very wealthy family. He has a lot of money and connections.

  • Agree wholeheartedly ?

  • 'Agree wholeheartedly' with Gem, that is?

• I feel like park shi hoo face really change a lot frm the last time i saw him..don't know what it is but his face look different like now I'm thinking he'll suit the villain role better than the main lead romancing the girl lol..

  • I agree. He can totally play a real rapist now. Or a criminal. He looks like a total villain.

    • Yess, I always wait for the weekend to see MGL because I want to meet PSH, he always works well

    • You are a true antifan, stop watching PSH if you hate him so much. You insist he's guilty of passing evidence to the police, or do not shut up

• Not that surprised. It's a big cast and kbs weekend dramas always do pretty well. I'm surprised he was given a role like this though.

• Oh balcony to all the comments above. The male leads can determine a drama. If Park Shi Hoo'd acting sucked then K-nets would complain about it all over the internet and stop watching it. The reason this show is doing well is the same reason woods Allen continues to be a successful film maker and Mel Gibson continues to be relavent in Hollywood.
  There a lot of people who can ignore scandal while continues to enjoy the talent. Case and point Lee Byung Hun, GDragon, Chris Brown, Casey Affleck.

  • i will not forget what chris brown did to rihanna.

    • True, but there is no denying is popularity hasn't been affected by it in the least. Even BTS considers Chris Brown one of their idols and look up to his music majorly.

    • I too cannot forget what Chris did but sometimes I find myself dancing to song and really liking it only to find out its a Chris brown song

    • I can't even look at his face after seeing her in bruises. I cannot imagine what kind of people still listen to him.

• I watched the first two episodes purely because Park Shi Hoo is in it, I wanted to know what his first prime channel drama come back would be like. I watched his Korean drama comeback, Neighborhood Hero that was on cable network OCN and I actually really enjoyed it.

  However as My Golden Life is a weekend drama a lead isn't really a lead, and thats good because I'm not liking his performance or his character so far then again the story hasn't really focused on him.

  • Male leads have the most screen time and their presence only increase as months go by. Clearly you dont dislike his acting as much as yoy claim. Or if you dont Korean viewers seem to be disagreeing with you.

  • I love Park Shi Hoo so much, I wait for every episode to see him on TV

• Off topic a little but I love this writer. I actually want Lee Joon Gi to do another one of her shows, preferably a romantic comedy. A girl can dream.
