This drama tells a story of two brothers who live in Seoul in the 1930s, oppressed under Japanese rule during one of the darkest periods of Korea’s history.

@tey you must must must must must watch QIM. it the best best best best drama in 2012 for me. best story, acting, romance, kisses, funny, cute, action, everything best. don’t look at the rating bec it is a cable tv drama. the rating is limited to subscribers of that cable tv channel only. i guarantee u will like it 110%
July 17th, 2012 at 4:07 pm
@karina
dude herlino is good actor in indonesia and joo won is good antor in korea, if you say the worst may be because you don’t like his character in baker king, good actor can portray good and evill character, you should honest
@kdfan
i watch QIM the story is romantic, i like it too but so far for me the best drama in 2012 is gaksital
July 17th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
@Eny
Why i said here coz i know you are all here the most from indonesia
cintai aktor sendiri kenapa seeehhhh??? Dude kerennnnn… jo won arrrh kemayu!!!sinetron indonesia juga jauh lebih bermutu dibanding korea..cintai produk dalam negri doooong…
July 17th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
and banyak tuh drama korea yang mirip mirip sinetron indonesia..so nonton sinetron indonesia aja..!!!
July 17th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
@karina, sorry, saya nonton drama korea dari thn 2000 jamannya korea belum booming di indonesia, justru sinetron indonesia yg sering jiplak film2 korea, cintai film indonesia boleh, tp kan perlu ngak maksa, masing2 org punya kesukaan sendiri.dude keren kok, aktor indonesia untuk saat ini yg pantas sinetronnya untuk ditonton kalo dia yg main ok bolehlah, tp kalo yg lain wah masih harus bnyk belajar acting dulu deh ngak cuma jual tampang doang, apalagi crita sinteron skrg semakin ngak jelas, stripping tiap hari membodohi penonton. film2 korea juga skrg banyak yg tidak bagus ngak kayak dulu rata2 filmnya keren2, skrg yg critanya bener2 bagus paling hanya beberapa. termasuk yg joo won mainin menurut saya sih acting dia semakin bagus setelah film dia yg pertama king baker, after that ojakgyo brothers it’s ok too, joo won still cool for me, sometimes joo won maybe not so cool, but still handsome
July 17th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
setuju ama siska aq nonton jg yg bagus aj, sinetron itu aq suka kiamat sudah dekat, para pencari tuhan, kl korea yg ceritanya bagus gk cm ngandalin aktor ganteng, males bgt nonton tampang doang……….story is number one
July 17th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
soal drama jiplakan sungguh menyedihkan, tp jujur sinetron kitalah yg menjiplak, tp ad jg yg jujur dan mencantumkan judul aslinya spt liontin n dramanya indra brugman lupa judulnya kl itu sih boleh2 aj, kl pengen tahu bandingkan aj th produksinya mana yg duluan itulah yg original
July 17th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
@tey Hi, both the dramas are great except that both are totally different. A lot depends on your preference whether action, mystery, romance etc. Equator Man focuses more on friendship and revenge, a little bit slow at times but great acting and script. QIM is basically a romance and mystery, very similar to RTP but maybe slightly better than RTP in terms of script ( eventhough I am a huge huge fan of Micky
). Like KDfan says, don’t look at the ratings esp QIM. Watch both and I’m pretty confident that you’ll like both.
