• Congrats CLOY.

  It was an amazing run. It defies all expectations. Have yet to watch the final 2 episodes but the drama watching journey has been worthy so far. And boy, I am going to miss the F4+1 the most.

• My patience paid off, now I can marathon after knowing it’s a good show for the most part from beginning to end! Yippie!

• Even though it couldn't beat sky castle in rating, in terms of international popularity and buzz, CLOY is much superior.
  Rating within SK alone can't decide a drama's success.
  I think CLOY is the best in everything we, K-drama fans wanted for.

  • There are articles how it has become biggest k drama since goblin with son yejin clothes accesories becoming trends. Various asian actors copying the trends etc.

  • exactly... CLOY is more popular with international audience. But i'm just so happy for there success that i don't need to compare this to other programs.

• Happy for both. 22% is cable is like 33 or 44% ( paid cable channels is multipled by 1.5 or 2 to compare them to sbs kbs or mbc free channels). Its a national blockbuster. Excuses used by fans who say noone watches tv falls flat. Your fave drama did bad bcoz they have no star power plus bad script. Even here scrupt wasnt amazing but the acting of 4 leads amd supporting cast elevated the drama.
  Personally i didnt like the ending. They dont need to kill second lead bcoz dan deserved happiness and finally guy found someone who cared for him. And 15 days a year isnt good enough for me. I also hated my love from star ending and writee pulled the same again. There r deleted scene where they showed seri pregnant on soompi thread. I hoped they have given us better ending. Overall loved the show and i can rewatch it all over again. Ended it runs with average of 12.15% . Only one of 5 dramas om cable to average over 12% and along with goblin it has 20 episodes compared to 20 of reply and sky, 24 of sunshine.
  I liked how dan exposed seris brother and wife. Rot in hell. Eldest brother and wife are better humans they are selfish but atleast they cared for seri. Loved her scene with mom. They will never love each other but atleast respect wach other.
  I wish seung joon and dan got a chance. Writer did them dirty
  Hyun bin and son ye jin must be so happy with cf love calls, future massive projects. Even second lead has bagged a alead role and i am sure male actor will too. He will get good ending in real haha. Loved north korean soldiers scene
  In the end drama was satisfying expect finale for me

  • I love CLOY from the get-go. I had the feeling that it’s going to be a massive hit.

    However it’s true that people don’t watch TV on the a particular broadcast esp on cable that you can watch a re-run or streaming option. Though in winter, people tend to stay home and have more time to watch tv esp at this time when ncov is everywhere.

    I would say actors on spring and summer dramas, I reckon have more strong star appeal esp those who can keep descent rating on these seasons when people have the option to go out on such good weather.

• It totally revived the K-drama spirit I've been looking in the recent series that I've watched.
  Congrats to HB, SYJ and the whole CLOY team. They deserve everything ?

• CLOY had only 16 episodes, if it has 20, it could easily beat sky castle. Sky Castle only did well in South Korea. But, shows like CLOY, Goblin, MLFTS are real winners that did extremely well both locally and internationally.

  • Sky castle is win of script. Cloy is win of A list star power. In the end it showed star power do matters, hpw A list peads can carry average script and cloys impact everywhere is just untouchable

  • Not necessarily. SKY Castle did not start with buzz. It did not have hallyu actors/actresses. It's a different ball park. SC started with 1% ratings compared to CLOY that kicked off with 6%, for SC to reach 20% ratings based only on storyline and immersive acting was a feat. I won't compare the two. They are different genres with different target audience. The common thing is, both dramas aired during winter. So...I think its safe to assume that winter dramas tend to get higher ratings because viewers are at home and watch TV.

• I remember how everyone was mocking it and were calling it a flop before first episode aired haha. Lol. Such a slap. You don't need exceptional scripts but good A list stars, good acting ( imagine some bad actress in emotional scenes instead of son ye jin and they will ruin it ). It is always a combination which worked. Good script plus A list stars. A top writer also needs top star for her drama to work and the chemistry of 2 leads was really selling point. It looked so natural.

• I wonder top drama scriptwriters like Kim Eun Sook and Park Ji Eun always cast A-list leads in their dramas. Even if the script goes wrong, these A-listers will still save the drama.
  Now, I'm waiting for the king, not because of LMH, but because of writer Kim Eun Sook.
  CLOY still made me happy, sad and emotional. Thank you Writer Park Ji Eun.

  • You know, both CLOY and the king come from the same production company, Studio Dragon which is the label of both Park jieun and Kim eunsook.
    If the king also hit big like CLOY, imagine how much money Studio Dragon would make.

    • Studio Dragon has been swimming in money recently. Their profits have sky rocketed with HDL and LA last year and now CLOY and in the future The King and Psycho. Craazzzyy

  • It is always a conbination. I see rookie actors fans crying that cast new blood. How they dont get such dramas? Let these guys earn such dramas. Likes of hyun bin, lmh, ksh, sjk etc has earned this dramas with their work from ground to top and these writers need A list actors for brands placement in show selling the rights to overseas etc and actors need such writers to match their status both need each other. Only a list aftors can sell drama with strong ratings even if aceiot is falling apart .

• kdrama has been dry for couple of years now. so good seeing it doing good internationally. i hope people will give chance to ieatwon class. and hoping that The king: eternal monarch will also do good.

  • Itaewon class is like mr sunshine. Very big hit in domestic but lacming in overseas loke cloy etc it is wonderful show but ita not for overseas market i feel. Overseas market has certain taste which IC doesnt fits

    • consider me pleasantly surprised for IC rating, good for PSJ. But not enough for me to check it out yet.

  • Tbh, IC’s storyline is your average kdrama. I mean it involves revenge, chaebol, he kills my family but he is free.

    • Not really. IC has strong intelligent female characters, transgender, a foreigner speaking perfect Korean. Chairman Jang is from low class who works to build his empire. IC is not an average K-drama.

    • I love CLOY and was totally addicted to it. This drama has really revived the kdrama excitement esp internationally. I am also watching Itaewon Class now and enjoying it. I think IC attracts korean viewers cuz it speaks to their current local society trends. It's the same thing as Sky Castle, which is why these 2 dramas are huge hits in Korea but less so in international. IC so far has a very strong script and great acting. If it can keep that tight plot, I believe the ratings will be really huge!

    • I was referring to the storyline, but hey we might have different taste :). I don’t like revengeful drama as this kind of drama is so over done in the past

• I am now waiting for HB and SYJ's dating news or marriage news??. Hope they would have twins in real life??
