Being bummed with something I wanted so badly to love really sucks, and even worse is not even dropping from love to like to salvage things a bit. This week K-netizens are really not feeling it for the saturation of noona-dongsaeng romances on prime time dramas. There’s Seo Hyun Jin and Yang Se Jong on Mon-Tues with Temperature of Love … Continue reading →
MBC‘s new Wed-Thurs drama Hospital Ship had a fast launch with double digit ratings premiere in the first day but the second day episodes went down in ratings to high single digits. Things appear to have stabilized this week as the medical team on the sea ratings went back up to double digits, with Wed’s episode taking in 10.8% and … Continue reading →
There was a slight but meaningful down tick in ratings for the second day episodes of Hospital Ship, showing once again that narrative and execution is the king of ratings consistency over big name star power such as Ha Ji Won as the female lead. The MBC Wed-Thur new offering dropped below the premiere episodes 10% line and notched a … Continue reading →
I’d take this ratings win for Ha Ji Won even though its a comparatively unimpressive victory considering her competition.

It’s new drama Wednesday as KBS premieres the time-traveling wacky romance Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good) taking over from the teary intense sageuk Seven Days Queen.

The drama takes over for Suspicious Couple, and will be followed in late summer by the … Continue reading →
It’s good that Suspicious Partner is a longer 20-episode prime time drama, or 40 episode now that the network has decided to call thirty minutes an episode to add in more commercial time. That means SP won’t end until the middle of July but then again we’re already in the back end of June and casting is finally completed for … Continue reading →
A huge difference between romantic drama leads is always a point to be noted regardless of the way the genders are swapped, but in this upcoming drama it’s the central premise that will need to hinge on amazing onscreen chemistry to pull off. SBS has scheduled Reunited Worlds for the Mon-Tues slot to take over from Suspicious Couple, and right … Continue reading →
