View Comments

• A piece of your mind was slow but noway as bad though. Also, same with Hi, Bye Mama...rest agreed.

• Hi Bye Mama really wasn't that bad though? I agree with all of the other ones.

• The results are not surprising at all for Top 2 in both categories. Ironic that the two worst dramas had the two loudest fans on this site claiming it will be THE mega hit this year, with one getting a free piggyback ride for taking over the time slot. In the end they were fighting for worst drama of the year, lmao.

  • Hahaha... I know, right? Loudest fans indeed. And even after the spectacular failures of those two dramas, they (especially BR fans) changed tactics and started yelling even louder that their drama beat [insert better and more popular drama name here] in ratings just to cope with the trauma. Not just loud but delusional too.

    • they're in a denial mode. especially the BR fl fans. suddenly they've selective amnesia on how they used to mock the other drama 4 years ago (u know which drama) on how low the rating as compared to the fav's rating (in fact, the drama that they mocked reached double digit with new format, which was high already). i also still remember how they mocked the casts to go to the department of rating to increase the drama's rating. yj fans, you can choose to forget and blamed others as 'playing a victim', but I'll never forget on what u guys did at the past. it's too hurtful to forget and too hard to move on. i think that year, I've a depression due to the constant mocking from her fandom. they also accused the drama to plagiarise their fav's drama. just because both drama had the same riding scenes, u accused the later to copy the former? sorry, i wish to move on, but failed. the positive side is, their fandom had quite down a bit already, not as bad as they used to be at the past. maybe becoz of their fav two latest dramas.

    • @lilyan
      I remember that too. Those fans would scrape at the bottom of the barrel all the time and mock so many different actors and actresses from appearances to ratings, even to the very present. That’s why their current pity parties does nothing for me. I go to forums and other sites and I see them complain about this site and all the antis when it’s called you reap what you sow. Not all of them are bad, maybe not even a majority is bad but there are many bad eggs in that fandom.

    • @lilyan

      Can you clarify which drama these YJ fans mocked 4 years ago? I feel like I am missing out with some news.

  • @myrrana
    all of things I've mentioned were on the ig. the bullying situation was so bad back then. but i think you also can find the mocking thing in this blog. just traced it until 2017.

    @leaves
    now they are afraid to go this blog. but they forgot that this blog used to be their arena.

  • @lilyan

    Are u referring to So Hyun's drama Ruler which was like LITM?

    • yes.. from ruler's posters, to the casts age, to backhug scene, to riding scene, to staring scene, to enter the water scene etc were said to plagiarise litm. how ridiculous is that? while there were many historical dramas has the very same scenes, they didn't go around telling ppl that litm plagiarised them

• the three WORST drama of the year are the king eternal PPL, meow meow meow and A piece of your mind. The actors in this drama had poor acting skills( lee min ho, L and his FL and the charmless Chae Soo Bin

  And Its okay 's too hyped. i dropped at episode 9? the FL looks....

  • And right on cue, one of the loudest and most delusional BR fans shows up to mock other dramas.

    The FL looks what? More beautiful and talented than you will ever be? Yeah, she does.

    • Hahahah! Best comment ever.

  • Too hyped yet you managed to watch all the way to EP9? Hahaha, stop lying. You didn't drop it. You gobbled it up to the finale and kept sneaking back for second and third helpings.

    We see right through you, troll.

    Funny how you can't even defend BR as one of the best dramas but you're instead mocking other dramas as the worst to try to divert attention from it. Eat humble pie, Joane.

  • Fortunately, your vote doesn't count. Koreans love It's Ok, Not to be Ok. Btw,i am glad Koreans listed BR as one of the trash dramas for 2020

  • It'a ok. Luckily you are not Koreans who voted on the dramas, Joane. Btw, Rookie is terrible

    • @lai pe yee
      Did u even watch it? BR wasnt a great drama but it wasnt terrible but anyways who cares i enjoyed the drama and waiting for season 2

    • And the ones who poll are the ones that know their stuffs, not keyboarders who merely or blindly support their favourite actor's drama, like BR and Eternal Monarch.

    • I decide which drama i like and enjoy even if its my fav if i dont like it i dont watch it

      I dont base my opinion on any poll and anywYs the king got the most votes for being worst but i see only BR being attacked

      I sometimes think haters are more eagerly waiting for yoo jung news than the fans lol

      Keep it up as i m done defending my girl her hardwork will pay off eventually and will prove her worth

      Its not that none of ur actors have bad fandom and their dramas never failed ups and down part of this industry

      Good luck to my girl and rather than popularity i would like my girl to b known as an versatile actress

      Fighting

    • You yourself concede that BR wasn't a great drama yet you're attacking the opinion of someone who found it terrible. Then you ask who cares? You clearly care. If you didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered to respond to Lai Pei Yee's comment.

      And then go on and write a hypocritical 'woe is me; there are bad eggs in every fandom; everyone is a KYJ hater' type of essay when no one even mentioned her name. Is she the only one who acted in BR?

      All while not calling out the toxic fans in your fandom who go round mocking other dramas' ratings and even insulting other actresses' looks to cope with BR's failure.

      Keep waiting but no one is going to shell out money for season 2 of a drama that flopped so hard in both ratings, reviews and even had cancellation petitions.

      Fighting to you too.

    • @anna don't hold your breath for BR season two. It flopped. Willing to bet there will beno season 2.

  • I don't know if this joane is that joane who came and commented on Record of Youth's posts on this site. But I assumed he/she is LITM's couple fan, becoz he/she hyped KYJ and PBG and mocked other actors/actresses. He/she is the kind of fans that make other hate on their favs becoz of their own doing. Smh.

    • If he or she is stanning KYJ and bashing everyone else, it's the same troll. He/she is one of a kind and very easy to recognize from their hateful, below the belt comments.

    • specifically known as boyoo couple fan

  • @Jasmine Very well-said! I've been a long-time lurker in this site, and that's what I've observed: Kim Yoo Jung fans are the most toxic, most arrogant fandom when it comes to actors/actresses. Especially after the success of Love In the Moonlight, that's the peak of their bullying. Everyone remembers their utter toxicity and the fanwars, their fandom mocking every actresses, especially KSH. When KSH was doing cameos in dramas, they call her attention-seeker, even dragged her dead father and other such bullshit. I remember at that time I couldn't even enjoy a KSH article without some KYJ fan ruining it by constantly mentioning KYJ and how she's “superior” to KSH. I'm not exaggerating when I say that period gave me anxiety, and I just feel so bad for KSH. I don't even understand the arrogance because LITM is known as PBG's drama mainly, and it raised only PBG's profile, he's now starting with A-Listers such as Song Hye Kyo and Gong Yoo. And it's only one hit drama! Why are they being boastful? lmao
    And now it all backfires to them as KYJ's last two dramas are such disasters, CWPFN got 1% rating and BR got low ratings too, got petitioned to be cancelled, and now is one of the two worst dramas of the year! lol
    And now that others are rightfully criticizing their fave's terrible drama without even mentioning KYJ's name, they're trying to act like victims, like this Ana above. All the while forgetting all the shit their fandom did. Such clownery. But what can you expect from KYJ fans, they're known for being the worst for a reason ?
    I feel bad for the rational KYJ fans being in the same fandom with these clowns

    • @KSH fanboy
      If you are a long time lurker on this site u should very well know why i bought yoojungie when BR was mentioned.

      Secondly if you are a long time lurker u should also know that i only ever defended my girl and never ever talked bad or degraded any actors including urs

      Thirdly i became yoojung fan becoz of this site after i saw how ur co fandoms bodyshamed and talked rubbish abt my girl but i never hated ur ksh

      Fourth if you are a long time lurker u should also have read on other ksh post how ur co fandoms think she is the one who makes the male lead famouus etc etc which i feel delusional and irrational

      Fifth if yoojung fans have done many bad things to ksh (behaviour which i condemn) ur fandom has also retaliated back tenfold so dont play victim here as to show ur hate is justified

      Sixth if you are a long time lurker u should know that i have bashed my co fandoms many times for their condemning comments

      If defending my girl makes me irrational so b it al least i dont give hateful comments to other actors neither curse them to flop their dramas unlike ur co fandom

      Toxic fans are not happy ppl so they create unhappiness for others if u let that affect u its ur fault
      Hope u healthy now
      Take care

    • @KSH FANBOY
      even if park bogam rose to fame after LITM none of his other dramas got the same rating after this drama despite working with mega stars for me this proves something
      When u have an awsome partner even mediocre script turns out great

      As for BR which is considered a trash drama received rating close to ur well received dramas

    • @Ana Please go back to the older articles on this site, circa 2016-2017, your fandom was the one who started all the bashing and the fanwars. Actually, KYJ fans have been acting superior since 2012 when KSH and KYJ were in Moon Embracing the Sun, just because KYJ had the young protagonist role. You have no idea what KSH went through at that period, both KNetz and INetz were bashing her so bad, literally every KSH article has KYJ fans mentioning KYJ and how she's better than KSH etc., it was crazy. It's definitely KSH who's the underdog here. KSH's fame isn't overnight popularity like your KYJ's, she had to overcome a lot of bullying and bashing. Yes I know people on this site can be harsh on KYJ, but if you're a fan of KYJ for a long time now, you'd have known that the comments here on KYJ are nowhere near as harsh as the insults that were being thrown at KSH that time, like I said, your co-fandoms even dragged her dead father, you can't get any more toxic than that.
      I bear no hate on KYJ either, I even liked her works as a child actress, but after seeing your fandom's atrocious behavior, especially during 2012-2017, I just can't like KJY the same way because when I look at her I just think of her toxic fans. Even fans of other actresses know how toxic your fandom can be, it's just a known fact at this point, and while that doesn't in any way justify bashing KYJ, I think that's why people on this site are being harsh on her. I don't know how long have you been a KDrama fan, but I'm guessing you're quite new because if you weren't, you'd know that this site used to be KYJ fans' haven, and they'd bash each and every actresses that isn't KYJ, and every actors that isn't PBG, it was crazy. It's only now that they've quieted down a bit after your girl's recent fail dramas.
      If you're not one of the toxic ones in your fandom, then congrats, please stay that way. But there's a reason why your fandom is notorious for being toxic amongst actors/actresses fandoms, and it just sickens me when I see some of your co-fandoms acting like victims when they did far far far worse. I want to forget and move on from that, but it's just not easy, like I said, that period literally gave me anxiety.
      I won't respond to you anymore as you seem like one of the sane ones in your random and I don't want to pick a fight with you.
      Good day

    • @ana

      actually i just want to ignore you, but i think many of your OPINIONS is misleading.

      1st, park bogum dramas are doing GREAT after LITM. you need to study and learn to differentiate between PUBLIC drama and CABLE drama. 2 pbg drama ratings for CABLE chanel (tvn) is considered high if you don't know. so his two latest dramas are considered as success as LITM. while yj 2 latest dramas performed poorly. both in cable (jtbc) and public (sbs) chanel.

      2nd. in your comments, you mentioned about BR perfomed evenly with this one drama. even tho you didn't mention which drama, we know it's tale of nokdu. you also kind of saying that tton also performed worse. you also wrong and misleading about this. if you don't know, all of sbs fri and sat timeslot dramas were able to attain double digit rating during this time slot except BR. this timeslot is considered as a GEM sbs slot due to lack competition with other dramas and most of ppl preferred to watch weekend dramas. but BR being in this timeslot failed to attain double digit rating. plus, it is poorly received despite having popular pd and casts. while tton, even tho this drama didn't attain double digit rating, but it's well received. plus, it's also airing during weekdays and have to compete with several dramas during that timeslot.

      3rd. you seems to be irrational when ksh fans saying that she made her co star famous. there's one thing to explain this. you in fact actually dislike ksh. you saying that you didn't dislike sohyun is like a BS. because if you didn't dislike sohyun, you wouldn't be bothered with this claim. but in fact there's a truth in this claims since most of her rookie co stars were super popular today. it wasn't like a claim from your fandom which calimed that kyj make pbg famous. it's not like pbg is a rookie actor during litm. in fact, he's already popular during reply and hello monster.

      4th..your opinion about who you end up liking is doesn't matter to us. you are free to say what you want to say about sso. you saying that you end up liking jang dong yoon when watching tton, and that's prove something is like suggesting something negative about sso. well, i mean, who are you? someone's important? did your opinions about sso is matter to us? in fact, most of sso fans here were saying about how bad your fandom is, not how bad is kim yoojung. but you dragged sso in your comments proves actually something.

    • @KSHFanboy

      I'm not sure about this site because I can't find the moonlightyoo anymore. but she as well as can go to ig and twitter, soompi, and allkpop comment section. it's soo ridiculous back then when they accused sohyun for following yj path when sso accepted to star in ruler. and it even more ridiculous when they accused sso to choose quantity over quality when she had drama each year, and praised yujung to choose a quality drama since she acted rarely after litm (in fact, she's busy with her school during that time. before litm, she also had drama every year ok.. lol.. anything to make their fandom felt superior). and she rejected school 2017 and circle drama means that these drama have no quality since yj only chose QUALITY drama. they also accused sso for being greedy and sidus for being biased when she's offered to cameo in goblin and wwys. while in fact, she has a good relationship with the writer, that's why she's offered to be comeo. I can list what are bad things they've said about sso, for instance, she didn't value education while their bias value education so much during high school, but sso continuing her study to university while their bias didn't want to pursue her study anymore is BIG SLAP to their fandom. not to mentioned how they mocked sso forehead, her smiling, and so on.

      so @ana, since you are new to her fandom, so here i list what are terrible and hurtful thing your fandom has done to sso fandom back then. I'm not an Indonesian, but do you know what is the name for sohyun Indonesian fandom? they're called as STAYFINE! because they want to STAYFINE with all of the accusations made from your fandom to sso. it's okay if you attack the fandom, but attack sso personally is too hurt for us. it's already became a scare to us.

      it is true that sso fandom also had bad eggs, but yours a lot of worse. you guys back didn't have only a fan war with sohyun, but also with GUMRI (bogum hyeri) fandom. you guys altogether even bullying one of parkbogum fan in ig very hard due to her voicing out her displeasure about BOYOO couple. that's the fact

    • @Lilyan Yeah it was crazy, the toxic KYJ fans even mocked Sohyun's hairstyle in Goblin saying that they gave her that hairstyle “to hide her forehead”, all the while conveniently forgetting that other actresses in historical dramas set in that period (pre-Joseon era) have the same hairstyle, such as IU in Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart. Everyone was actually praising Sohyun's visuals in Goblin, it's just these clowns who were bashing her. About RMOTM, yes it's super ridiculous of them to bash Sohyun for “copying KYJ” just because RMOTM and LITM are both historical dramas. It's not Sohyun's fault that MBC promoted it as the next LITM. And the cameo thing. That situation actually reminded me of how haters used to bash Park Shin Hye for being in every drama, and calling her greedy and attention-seeking too. I mean, it's not Sohyun and Park Shin Hye's fault that they are in-demand actresses and that Sohyun is a favorite of writer Park Hye Ryun ?
      Yes, they accused Sohyun for being Sidus' favorite and now they're doing the same thing to Kim Hye Hyoon. Ridiculous.
      They just want to pick apart everything our Sohyunnie does, it's just so maddening! And yes, so proud of our girl for entering Hanyang University! She's a beauty and brains, and it's a big slap to the haters.

      As for Moonlight Yoo, she's now spreading her toxicity in Dramabeans. I just recently saw her comment on the True Beauty article, commenting that KYJ should've been cast as Jugyeong instead of Moon Ga Young because MGY “looks too old”. I just had to roll my eyes, she's such a clown. MGY had been such an underrated actress for a long time now and I'm happy for her (even tho I also wanted Sohyun for the role)

      Thank goodness these toxic clowns have quieted down a bit now after their girl's recent drama failures. But one hit drama and they'd go back to their old ways again, I'm sure.
      Meanwhile, let's wait and cheer for our Sohyunnie's upcoming drama. The fact that she will play a role like that, an ambitious princess who wants to be the first female Goguryeo ruler, means that casting directors have faith in her and her emotional maturity.
      I mean, what other young actress have played a role like that before?
      Fighting, Queen Sso!

  • I agree... The king was really bad ... Can't even pinpoint as to what exactly went wrong. But I hooe they make/select better drama in future.

• the king had the best writer while BR had the best pd. yet, their drama were voted as the worse. life is just like a wheel. sometimes you're on the top, and sometimes u will be at the bottom. so be humble, especially for the fans.

  • So true. Always be humble and leave some room for the others.

• Highly appreciated HOSPITAL PLAYLIST,very Educational & Conservative type of k.drama

• Hospital Playlist is definitely a gem, one of my all-time faves. Saved me from boredom too when travel anywhere in the world suddenly halted due to the pandemic. I can re-watch this multiple times. Can't wait for season 2.

• I don't agree with the worst, it looks like people didn't really watch these dramas... A Piece of Your Mind was really beautiful, it was slow but the subject of mourning was well treated. BR was far from bad, the relationship between the leads was one of the most sane of Kdrama, when they respect and understand each other, give time, etc. If the idea of plot of Hi By Mama wasn't a good one, the actors did a good job. The King wasn't totally bad, it's just they was a lot of expectation. Meow was really bad.

  In the best ones, CLOY, It's Okay, IC started very well but all were kinda disapointing at the end. CLOY was the best in North Korea. It's Okay could have been good but the mother's plot was so bad, even the actress didn't know she was the mother... I liked that IC treated some society subjects but the story was not so good at the end.

  Stranger 2 was the best! The writting was perfect!

  • Thankfully, it's not up to you. It's up to the K-entertainment industry insiders (actual Koreans in the industry who know their stuff) and are sharing their insights.

    It seems you're the one who didn't really watch the dramas you're nitpicking on just because your preferred dramas are in the worst list.

    • I watched them and professional opinion? They just followed the ratings...

    • They are professionals, working in the entertainment industry. With years of knowledge and experience in scriptwriting, production and etc. You, definitely a mistress of none.

    • @Lai Pei Yee> There were worse dramas : Rugal, Sweet Munchies, Was It Love, Men are Men, Forest, Dinner Mate, etc. TKEM was pretty disapointing but was still better than those.

      I don't know how the poll was done. If they really proposed all the dramas and just the buzzworthy ones.

  • whats meow?

    • Meow The Secret Boy is the story about a girl who falls in love with a cat that can take human form.

  • As always, you are my drama twin, though I did not watch BR, Meow and IC and dropped both HBM and TKEM.
    Totally agree with you on Stranger 2 is *chef kiss*

• I still cant finished hospital playlist

  • yeah yeah my standards were super high based on hype and I honestly found it overrated and kind of cheesy sometimes (I was marathoning ER from NBC around the same time though so that influenced me a bit lol) but it’s a good hearted show and I’m determined to finish it.

• as expected...Thw King is a total shit
