• Go watch Stephen Chinese odyssey. It is better

  • I am somewhat taken aback that Koala did not even mention the Olympics as a factor contributing to the ratings drop and merely attribute to the story line and lack of chemistry between the leads etc. I really wish she had been more objective in her writing.

    • Misty rating increases, most of drama rating are stable, my golden life is still 40% despite change timeslot. Olympic doesnt affect much.

• Olympics was a factor in ratings

  • Yeah, it seems somewhat obvious that the Olympics are going to be a factor.

    I'm only on episode 11 and while I can see some pacing issues, it still seems fun to watch. I maintain 16 episodes would be enough and think going to 20 was a bridge too far.

    • My Golden Life moved to 10 pm this weekend because of the Olympics. It also halved the ratings of My Ugly Duckling to barely 10%.

• This drama is a mess. I love LSG and I honestly thought he could have chemistry with a rock before. I even liked him with Suzy! But OYS and him are just soooo boring. There’s literally no spark, no fire, no passion and absolutely zero chemistry. For a love that’s supposed to be epic, I really don’t care for Sun Mi. What a bland character. It’s definitely HS’s fault because OYS has been very good in the past but here she’s just a wet towel.

  I’m not gonna lie Summer Fairy and General frost are the two that keep me watching. There’s something absolutely fascinating about them and their existence. I really like the actor who I’ve never seen before. Then of course I really like CSW’s tragic love story too. I wish this drama’s main narrative was better. I really do. But it went downhill a long time ago for me.

  • I would say the opposite .. I love LSG and OYS's chemistry ..

    • i agree with you LSG AND OYS is far better than LSG AND SUZY just sayin hahaha

• I'm still watching while fast-forwarding lol. OTP story just bored me to death. The pig and zombie were more fun to watch. But don't feel sorry LSG, he has done his character well. this is a good project choice after coming back from the military. The rating may not be due to lack of audience but rather people are more interested in Olympic. I would switching channel too. There always be a repeat broadcast and Netflix. Don't be too negative koala.

• Sun Mi is such a forgettable character... Hong Sisters have totally lost their focus!! I FF the OTP scenes most of the time coz they don't make any sense as I have said from the very beginning..

• As one of Seung Gi's fan (self admitted) here, I'm glad Seung Gi chose this drama, it shows he is able to portray something outside his comfort zone (though mischievous Jae Ha still own my heart). But I do feel the lack of chemistry of him and OYS...
  too be honest, the chemistry is much better when OYS is not playing Seon Mi, but Ah Seo Nyo, I don't get it, could be caused by OYS much suitable in playing a scheming and rather cunning personality than the bland Seon Mi, or may be because Hong Sister wrote about ASN better than JSM herself

• It's because of the olympics and the drama is very well written

  Lee seun gi and Oh Yeon Seo are doing amazing with their acting. It's crazy how Oh Yeon Seo can change like that

  • Nope. MY GOLDEN LIFE's ratings didn't drop. This drama is just horrible.

• lmao you cant even back up with facts.....their scenes have 0 emotional value......your pig and zombie cant even act properly or emote...they have 0 nuance or depth.....their facial expression is so lacking and bland...no wonder they arent cut out to be leads...They dont add to story or main plot and are helpless...Lol they dont even have anything relevant to the main plot and are most of the time useless with some useless side comments lmao....Why should SOG toast them lmao.....If anything SOG is hard carrying them as their acting is pretty over the top bad....They should bow down and thank him that this drama is relevant because of him....

  • Lol at ur bitterness

    • How am i bitter when i just state the truth? You can check the korean portal sites and videos on naver, daum and nate etc If you require proof lol. Also you dare to call those side cast good when they cant even execute and emotional scenes properly and have problem shedding a tear? Are you drunk?

• Olympics has been on every night... Other dramas' ratings don't seem to be affected much. Only stupid idiots will put the blame on the Olympics! Everybody has different likings of this drama, some like the OTP, some don't... What's the point of arguing? For those who don't like my comment, STUFF IT, I don't need to hear your reply on my thread!!

  • Right? Misty's ratings are soaring despite Olympics.
    Hwayugi's fans are annoying smh. They can't accept different opinions and are resorting to putting down Lee Honggi and Lee Seyoung for shining even with the limited screen times they have.

    • Misty airing time is late at night not the same time slot as olympic.
      I get it.. if you want me to say "Hwayugi flops and lost its steam"
      You happy?? You wanted to hear those words so badly right..

      MGL , Mother, etc dropped a lot

    • Looooll MISTY TIMESLOT WAS AFTER THE OLYMPIC COVERAGE HAVE ENDED.. idiot!

    • @ sonatimoo - NOPE. MY GOLDEN LIFE's ratings didn't drop "a lot". Episode 45 was over 41% on Feb 11th and the Olympics had already started.

  • Lol golden life dropped from 41percent to 35% same as other shows. Misty was the lucky one because that timeslot, Olympic coverage is about to end.

  • @Gooor @Boy - you are the idiot who keep changing your names. I despise people who cannot stand up for their own comments... shame on you!!

• OYS was bad choice from the very start. they love story should be epic but OYS is so boring. No chemistry between OYS and LSG. So people have no choice but to turn to second leads. Pig&Buja could have interesting storyline but writer isnt helping much here. Even so little screen time, i am curious what will happen to their ends than Samjang & Great Sage.
