  • Wow. They are so lucky for having TKEM as their predecessor because it actually helps in bringing high ratings during the pilot episode. Wishing this will be the drama that will define JCW as a Hallyu King.

    • Even if they weren’t airing after TKEM, this drama will still do wonders! This love team is formidable lolz

      • Lol. As if the previous dramas of JCW and KYJ hit big time. They should really be thankful that LMH is helping them get a headstart because they are occupying TKEM timeslot, which is surely a big hit.

    • Haha both of them had 1% ratings for their last dramas. You should thank King Lee Min Ho for helping them instead.

      • do we look like we care?
        even if their last drama was a mega hit you would keep on hating. cause thats what haters do

      • Lmao I'm not sure why you bring that drama up but of course whatever ratings this drama gets its because of the drama not because of the previous one. This drama already got so many Korean ppl's attention, positive or negative so they will watch out of curiosity. And the director is even more trusted than lmh's drama director, they only have Kim eun suk for that, not to mentioned that lmh is the one who should be thankful for kes! Her dramas are always successful but you act like it's powerful because of only lmh lol what a joke fducjv

      • @waya kim eun sook investors r doing business. LMH has plenty of hits without kim eun sook. That is why she n studio dragon approached for this massive project not the other way around. He bring ratings, huge advertising revenue and overseas sales. LOTBS made profit from vitenam alone. \
        So why should he be thankful? he is the one who brings business here lmao.And kes is not gonna approach 1% type actors. She approaches absolute elite who brings ratings and business. Its mutual benefit

      • There is no joke but actual fact. When a time slot gets end with a hot shot drama, next drama gets initial good ratings.
        And yes its fact. He is powerful. Thats why he gets all massive dramas n writers without trying. Your 1% faves will not gt those

      • TKEM is the king Eternal Monarch.
        Lee min ho x Kim go eun and woo do hwan.
        Writer KES.
        The most anticipated drama of 2020.

    • @waya kim eun sook is business women. she and investors r doing no charity. They wanted him for their biggest drama not other way around. His name alone brought profit from vitenam sales for lotbs and i am not counting other countries! . Get ur facts straight. Lmh lowest rated drama did well over 10% whereas jcw n yoo jung lowest fall at 1%. He attracts highest cf revenue for channel. Sbs give him best dramas bcoz he brings money and ratings
      He is ratings magnet . Ur b listers will never be approached by kim eun sook bcoz they are 1% rating disaster

  • Hehehe I can’t wait to see Yoojung kicks jcw butt in the drama. Power love team of 2020. Handsome man plus gorgeous woman = Hot visuals! They’re Ice cream that are too hot to melt.

    Sohyun lovers can lick the spilled melted cream on the ground. I don’t get your love for her. She’s so ordinary.
    Blind people can’t see true talent lolz

    • What a delulu. You must be really obsessed to SH for dragging her into something which is completely unrelated to her.

      Well, you're just jealous and threatened because LAS2 will be aires around the same time as KYJ's new drama and it will be surely overshadowed in international arena. Stay pressed, my dear.

      • Lol someone seems excited enough to google LAS2. Who are you rooting for? Team Hyeyoung or Team SunOH? Lol

        No need to feel threatened. Based from various sources, it will be aired around October. So calm your “tush”, you’ll be able to enjoy YJ’s drama without constantly searching who’s in the lead. ?

      • Lol! Can't see Convenience drama overshadowing LAS2. I guess it's the other way around because LA has a strong headstart. All thanks to the commercial success achieved by LAS1 because they cast a big name actress like SH who is made for the role of Kim Jojo.

    • For continuously spouting nonsense, nah, you’re the DUMB one!

      Just focus on you favorite. And for the nth time, stop dragging KSH’s name! She’s already popular and doesn’t need additional marketing.

      • @Moonlight

        Dream on coz we know you're good at it. There is no way Love Alarm will be defeated by that Convenience drama. So Hyun stat power alone can manage to turn your idol into ashes.

    • Every single time, u're always comparing yoo jung and so hyun. So fucking tired of you creating fanwar. They're hatin' yoo jung more because of your antics. Please stop.Even dogs can behave if they were told to. Can't u do the same?

  • Eww.. the age gap.. He's same age as Lee Seunggi and Lee Minho. and I can never imagine Kim Yoojung with LSG or LMH.

  • waiting for the much anticipated drama of 2020. Ratings will surely cross 20%. So excited for my favorie actress Kim Yoo Jung, the best and prettiest
    actress of her generation.

    I just hope that JCWs acting would level up in CSSB. he overacted in Melting me softy. His acting was so unnatural. He didnt have comedic timing. so I was not surpised that MMS got 1% ratings.
    lucky him because he gets to work with YJ.

    I cant wait. by just looking at the pic I can already feel the chemistry. Excited with the Romance part. #ChangYoo couple.

    • JCW acting is amazing, he had to work hard over compensate for the bad script and for the bad lead actress. It’s more of lucky YJ that she gets to work with him. He has given different and wonderful performances in every role. YJ is typecasting herself playing slightly different shades of her cute character in moonlight.

      I worry of YJ performance than his in this drama.

      • @ chi

        You’re blind. Yoojung acting will sail this ship through rough waters. Stay salty lolz

      • @chi

        You are just jealous and envious of Yoo Jungs success...
        it is the othervway around. JCW is the one whos lucky to be acting along side the Queen, KYJ. His last FL in MMS, i dont know what her name is- she is not popular- was a mess. acting wise and appearance..

      • Oh really?haha i laugh hard! she wins a lot of excellent actress awards.She can act serious drama, comedy action movie, suspense, horror etc. She is a versatile actress.She is one of the best excellent pretty smart good attitude gorgeous actress ive everseen and known in korea so far!

      • Well said ..I agree JCW awesome in whatever way he do.kyj has to grow up and be good in her acting as a child actress ok but not as an adult or say a mature actress...ksh is much better...

  • @moonlight

    I think that scene will look cool too. But like what I said before, her acting went downhill for me after love in moonlight. I’m a huge fan jcw and I’m afraid of her dragging him down. She better not blunder like she did in her last drama and last movie. JCW deserves the best actress to compliment him and I have reservations that Kim Yoo Jung qualifies. They look good visually but I don’t see any chemistry yet.

      • @ady
        u seriously call them fans?they are obviously some KYJ haters bringing her name to every article and continue the comment bashing other actors so that they ruin yoo jungs image for others.
        I wasnt sure at first but when they illogically compared KYJ and LMH Im pretty sure. two completely different actors!different generations different gender! LMH and KYJ has nothing to do with each other to compare. a comparison is when people you are comparing have commen points! at least KYJ vs. KSH made sense. both are girls and from one generation.comparing LMH and KYJ gave them away for me. they are not fans. not at all. KYJs haters for sure. they are so aggresive to make everyone hate her by pretending like they are her fan.
        and since KYJ vs. KSH was getting an old subject to bring fanwars they are trying new insane comparisons like that! its a good opportunity for them to make LMHs fans hate KYJ this time 'cause he has a vast fanbase. Im not KYJs fan nor hater. just feeling so sorry with whats happening to her image here.

    • @twill nah jcw has a baby face and doesn’t look much older than kyj. It’s kyj last drama male lead that looked his age. Once again it’s acting, I don’t care about age difference. I don’t think kyj has the acting chops that will complement jcw.

      • i agree! uncle and niece relationship. JCW doesnt look young. Oh no. he looks so old in his smokimg scandal photo
        He looks his age, he looks 33. KSH is the one who looks young and not JCW. its the truth

        on the other hand, YJ is still a baby.a baby who will kiss an OLD man. .....ewwwwwww. Poor YJ. why did you have to accept this drama
        .... she has to fire her manager ASAP

      • @ Mitch

        I think it’s time to get new eye prescriptions because jcw is known by many for his baby face. You are right Kim Soo Hyun also look young for his age.

        Why blame the manager, it kyj choice. She’s an adult.

      • Pedo relationship.
        JCW looks 35 years old to me. i cringe whenaver i eee him doing cutesy acts it looks fake.,. it doesnt suit his not so scandal free image. he should act his age.
        and his kissing scenes in his dramas. oh no. is that what he is selling? his kissing scenes. and his career is going downhill.
        I really love Won jin A but i could not watch her in MMS because he's the main star of that pathetic drama. and Won Jin A is getting a lot of hate from his rabid fans. blaming her for the dramas poor ratings. Poor Won jin A. so glad that she will be doing a project with Yoon Ah In.
        I dont know what got into YOO jung what did she accept this drama with JCW. such a downgrade from park bo gum who has a clean image and loved by koreans.

      • @chi.

        i know right. JCW does not look 33. he looks older. lol.
        i really dont like JCW for my pretty Yoo jung as her ML. Why did they cast him with her. There are other actors at 33, who looks younger than JCW. why him? and his acting, oh no. he is oy popular among ifans but in korea? knetz? they do not like him. Poor Yoo jung- i

    • @mitch
      its 2020 not 1820
      smoking scandal? really?
      smoking is legal for over 18 years old people. its not even an illegal action or sth. he can does as he wants. personal life and career are two differet things

      @,,,,,,,
      funny. he looks like her is at his late twenty or 30 AT LAST.

  • Ive seen fans' uploaded JCW and YJ photos on SNS and i could say their chemistry is undeniably good. by just looking at the photos, i could say that JCW has the best chemistry with YJ. Sorry Healer and the k2 Fans.

    Hope that they will date soon. Cant wait. The power couple of 2020. Shipping them already.

    CSSB, the best SBS drama of 2020. Congrats in advance. so happy for you JCW and YJ

    • @ trish

      I don’t see any chemistry but visually they look great! You’re such a delulu if you think you care compare chemistry with his past costars by just looking at photos alone rofl

      Hope they date? Based on some fan photos you ship them together romantically ? Get help LOL

    • By just the pictures alone, you want them to date irl, without seeing the drama first? Omg! lol so ridiculous! Comments like this makes me question KYJ fans mentality. For sure your rebuttal would be “you’re just jealous, stay salty blah blah blah Lolz”

  • JCW has to step up his acting performance in Convenience Store. His acting in his last drama was sooo bad .It was really a bad acting on his part given that he's the ML, so its 1% rating was really expected.

    Please, Dont waste our baby girl's acting talent. Do your part JCW, dont rely so much on Yoo Jungs popularity, star power and acting prowess. Dont drag her down into your declining popularity.

  • Such a big opportunity for JCW to be working with the beauty Godess kim yoo jung. TBH, JCW is not pupular in S. korea, he is only popular amongst international fans. thats why he never had a hit drama.
    most of his dramas had poor to modest rating. his last drama rating failed miserably. He"s so fortunate that TVN did not cut short his drama by 4 episoded due to bad ratings. lol.
    JCW, dont rely so much on your "good looks" Show that your acting is improving. Dont include Yoo Jung in your 1% rating record. Dont tarnish her stellar career.

    • Are you not aware that KYJ had also a 1% drama record? Stop deluding yourself that the success of JCW's drama will rely heavily on KYJ. It's the other way around, as proved by the past, it is KYJ that depends on her male leads because she can't carry a drama. Lolzzzz!

    • Stellar career? Are you suffering from amnesia or deliberately trying to forget that KYJ’s last drama also suffered the 1% rating? Lol

      • Ruler have also bad script but it managed to be a timeslot leader throughout its run. So, bad script is never an excuse. It's all about star power. And So Hyun has that. Lol!

    • @KES
      lol I dont think you are even a KYJs fan. so before trying to bash JCW with MMSs rating, check on some info for CWPFN.
      both MMS and CWPFN were same with ratings.
      so stop making JCW fans and KYJ fans mess with each other instead of haters like u.
