View Comments

• I really like JTBc choice of actor. From Seo Hyun Jin to Kim Yoo Jung.

  • And TVN went from Jung So Min to Song Hye Kyo what is your point? JTBC is not a superior channel in any way.

    • So?
      Did missjb say tvN isn't good at picking their actresses?
      She just listed her own preferences.
      Has shit gone to your brain to assume otherwise?

    • And what's your point?
      Did missjb mention the word superior in any way?
      Are you so triggered by others' personal preference because they didn't mention your bias ?

    • I guess some fans are trigerred that one shade that they've thrown at her about her success attributable to others, that they doing everything to shot down Clean's result. For what purpose, maybe to hold yj back and dampen her spotlight. ironically that shade is attributable more to them. They wanted to say their bias was not able to achieve good ratings coz she was paired with idols, but still when paired with a hot actor-still below the expectation. So, now coming out to dampen yj's results.

• Definitely Kim Yoojung's star power.
  Congrats to her successful comeback.

  • Her star power to not have a single article trend in the top 5 despite a 2 year hiatus? You know cable gets ratings easily right? Even the videos have very low views so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Almost all the comments on My DramaList website are also negative. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

    • Her fandom is known to overplay pointless things but in reality their 'success' is hollow just like them.

    • Not a single article trend? Are you blind?
      Cable gets ratings easily? Really? Have you looked at the previous drama's premiere ratings?
      Videos have low views? Again, where are you getting your info from? Your pea-brain?
      DRAMALIST? LOL. You mean that website full of bias international fans like you?

      Overplay pointless things? Not so much as another fandom who likes to overplay their bias' success and looks.

  • Watched it last night, it's really good! I see some people say she overacted, but it's a romcom adapted from a webtoon, you need to exaggerate some actions to be funny. The scene where she lamented about her struggles to YKS touches me a lot, it reminded me of my past struggles to find work after graduation.

    And I see someone is commenting with multiple names below, they all have the same style of names LOL

• And the viewers have spoken... Netizens who threatened to boycott over the age gap, more bark than bite

  • i mean it was more int-netizens rather than knetz. this was hugely anticipated in korea. int-netz boycotting doesn't affect the ratings

    • Thought those i-nets claimed that their korean counterparts were angry about the age difference, intended to boycott?

    • Nielsen rating is only in 3% range Koala has lied about the ratings. They are not very high. LFG had 4.4% ratings for late night 11 pm slot when tvn was still not popular and MOTW had 2.6% for fri-sat slot when jtbc was still new. The ratings are not a success at this point.

    • @Exaggeration For a non-fan, you really took time to research that the drama's ratings are not a success???? Wonder for what purpose?????? To disprove that now she's able to hard-carry a drama despite her age. If you're rooting for someone else, just be happy that Yoojung is raising the bar for all child actors.

    • She's hardly raising the bar. Its more like she has to meet the bar that her peers have set. You're obsession with her is funny. She's not a pioneer in anything. Girl is even behind on her education. Saeron went to college before her.

    • Joke is on you.
      Peers? What peers? If you are talking about actresses her own age, which one of them has ever set the bar for high ratings? She's indeed the first one of her age to have a huge hit drama
      And don't even try to bring Saeron in this. They are good friends. KYJ has her own plans for education.

    • Since @Joke wants box office and ratings specifics, here goes:

      For films way back: Kim Yoo Jung (chaser) and kim sae ron (ajusshi)
      Films now: Kim Hyang gi hands down
      Drama: kim yoo jung (moonlight)

      So, those young actresses from their age group were the ones who raised the bar.

  • The ratings are actually just 3.2 and 3.3 and knets are not really watching it because its not trending on Naver anymore. I think koala has greatly exaggerated the so called 'star power' and 'success' of the drama. It has lower ratings than Hammurabi for first episode which has the less than popular Go Ahra.

    • hugely anticipated is that why it only trended at no 9 last night while even mama fairy trended above it? even misty had higher premier ratings than this what rubbish. the drama is severely over aggerated on the comedy and the age gap is super obvious and awkward. getting high ratings on cable is the easiest thing especially with this genre. she knew this kind of drama would flop immediatedly on public channel and her true status would become visible. she never has the star power to do well on terrestrial without an oppa.

    • Ni the rating is 4.1 for first ep and 4.2 for 2nd ep. Where did you get those "actual rating" numbers?

    • I agree with the numbers the 4 % number are from TNS I saw the ones from Nielsen is the accepted ones.

    • Lol who told you Go Ara is not popular. Inets hate on her because she can't act but girl has been in the industry for a decade and has huge hits like Sharp, Reply etc.
      But we are honored you compare Kim Yoojung to industry veterans like Go Ara and the great Kim Namjoo. Her star power will surely grow in the years to come ^^

      And fyi, everyone knows cable channel is known for more quality productions and A-listers are all flocking to this channel. But let's just pretend KYJ took on a cable channel drama because she is afraid. Oh, the oppa excuse is just old. People used this excuse to hate on Park Shinhye for years saying she is popular because of "oppas", but look where she is now.

• I’m not the biggest fan of the lead pairing but even I’m giving it a chance because of her. To me, she’s honestly one of the most likable (and one of the prettiest) teen actresses in any entertainment industry in the world right now. She’s so easy to root for and I’m not surprised it got a very good premier rating. Most of the netizen comments for the drama were even about her haha.

  I’ve not been interested in many recent dramas so hopefully this is an entertaining watch.

• Also I have to say in the past we had many press conferences which were rather boring, dull and so on. But while watching this press conference I could feel the happiness and energy. Also how the cast gets along.

  And the drama conveys the same energy and wicked humor. :)

  • I think her easy-going personality works well in establishing cast chemistry. That was fully evident with YKS's statements, as well as their goofy press con. That is another strong point for her.

• Kim Yoo Jung has grown up well. I watched the clips of episode 1&2, just love her acting. She is gifted and talented. She is very pretty and that pair of beautiful eyes is acting along the story line. I am Never tired to watch her. Waiting to see the Episode 3 next week.

• I love it although some scenes are a little too much for me lol well I'm sure I'll love it more once it delves on the more human/relatable scenes in the upcoming eps.

• Not also dissing the two male leads but can you consider them even YKS as an A lister? I sort of believe that Kim Yoo Jung is actually well loved in Korea, at her age and bringing in 4.1/4.2% ratings with a non a lister, male leads, she has her own star power. So I wonder where are the inets whingers here now? Lmao

  • They've come.

    • Yup, they've come. Spouting toxicity on comments that are just centered on thr drama and kim yoo jung. None of the comments were disparaging or comparing. But they were so triggered with the praise on kim yoo jung.

  • THEY ARE ABVIOUSLY JEALOUS OF KIM YOO JUNG HAHAAHAHAHA i don't blame them tho she's super pretty and going to the top star actress route lol

• excellent premiere,kim yoo Jung is brilliant as always.i am so happy about the rating success hopefully It increases.

• It’s KYJ eyes! OMG they literally sparkle. I know its a mass exaggeration but she is like visually perfect and absolutely riveting. Such a natural actress with impeccable comedic timing. I loved the first ep that was so hilarious when she was swooning over her crush. YSK was great as the OCD CEO.
