• Poor Kim Ji Won. She went from starring with A-list leads like Park Seo Joon and Song Joong Ki to him. Someone save her from his flop ratings curse!

  • When she partner with PSJ, he wasn’t A-list at that time.

    JCW needs to choose quality over quantity. He has many productions in a year but none memorable.

    • yeah PSJ at that time was still a 'rising star' who had a setback because the big budget/hugely hyped Hwarang got not-so-great ratings. It was Fight My Way that fixed that and cemented his place in the A-list. He and Kim Ji Won are both talented.

      And at least her projects so far have been interesting and not run-of-the-mill even though girl had to actually work for it and prove herself unlike some others who get more hype.

• Hope it will work well domestically. JCW seems like not a draw in SoKor. That is why KYJ is hard carrying BSR. Though it is still single digit in ratings for the last 12 episodes.

  • if it's not for her- ratings for this drama would drop to 3%. he is only popular and well liked overseas but not in Sokor

    Well this announcenent wont affect the high ratings of BSR. BSR is currently no. 1 rating wise. Cant wait for eps 13 to 16. Go for double digits rating.

    Kim Ji Won is not also a rating magnet. Her Last drama with SJK also flopped. They must be thankful because this is not going to be shown on major network in korea because this ratings will surely bomb.

    • I don't think ratings of BSR can be considered high for an SBS Fri-Sat slot. Further, it is number 1 because it has no direct competition in its timeslot. So, the ratings are really dismal. Hope, the leads pick better projects than BSR.

    • JCW is not considered A-List in Korea. That is why he cannot attract high profile projects because of his status. Anyways, hope this new project work well because if not, it will be his third project with low reception. He may be honored as the King of Flop Dramas.

    • @ Mary kay

      BSR ratings are okay. more than okay. rating of BSR is the same as TKEM,
      BSR got 8 plus percent ratings in some eps.

    • Go, convince yourself. Only KYJ and JCW fans will believe BSR has high ratings and a hit when it was nothing compared to previous dramas that occupied its timeslot. Or, she we say you just got low standards for high ratings and hit, so even an 8% rating is already considered a success for you.

• I've not seen any of JCW's work other than healer but probably I will watch this one.

• Too cute!

  I'm loving BSR both him and YJ are a hoot and I must add it's a nice peaceful fun watch after having my heart and head torn and shredded the last few weeks from IOTBNO. BSR is that tonic after a hard night's drinking. I love both dramas to bits.

  JCW and KJW is a pairing right up my alley way so no complaints and YJ has her movie out this year too so definitely happy on the horizon.

  Actually I watch BSR after IOTBNO just to calm my nerves.

  • I think you are totally right. I think the light tone of BSR kind of helps to calm down after IONTBO which I totally love. I’m hoping the final episode of both shows won’t disappoint.

• New to dramas so I’m not too familiar with the names. The girl looks like the girl from the Hello Bye Mama drama

  • That's Kim Tae Hee in Hye Bye Mama. Kim Ji Won was called "Little Kim Tae Hee" in her debut days.

• I love both actors.really a fresh pairing.Bonus director of IOTBNO.& KJW is good in picking project.so iam excited

• A Web drama?

• Ji chanwook is the most handsome natural Korean actor ever

  • Not natural. JCW got PS on his nose.

  • @ JCW.

    yeah right."Looks natural" lol

• Ugh. Whoever is making decisions for him re picking a drama is not looking out for him. His recent projects of late are cheap and mediocre. He needs to go back doing actions.

  Both these actions are on the same boat.

  • 100%, He keeps picking projects that are cheap and mediocre in ratings. I doubt if his high salary pay is really the actual one because it does not do justice to producers who keep on casting him.

• He really shoud stop with those silly romcoms and go back to what he is best action!

  • This reminds me of fans wanting Lee Junki to try out romcoms (again) to switch things up but maybe it's a good thing he didn't and is usually just offered the action type.

    NGM too (although he doesn't do action) his biggest bust in recent years was a silly romcom. Romcoms apparently aren't it for everyone, especially these guys.

    JCW should try with action sageuk or even thrillers/crime/mystery genres.
