not a good choice,, shes so boring in bridal mask

I was going to watch this drama until I saw Jin Se Yun was added to the cast. Her character is so useless in Gaksital, I need a break from her. Maybe I’ll give it a try in a few months after I’ve flushed “Mok Dan”out of my system…

I was pleased to finally see Joo Ji Hoon and Ji Chang Wook join Chae Si Ra for a full episode in episode 5. I also look forward to seeing more of the other adult actors.

Rating are getting lower and another competition is going to air next week.. Looks like FF need to double their effort…
September 3rd, 2012 at 12:54 pm
@Cathy I’ve noticed that the ratings always drop on a Sunday and it happens to wahtever drama that is showing. I guess it isn’t because that the interests have gone for the Koreans, except maybe they have something else to watch at the same time, maybe the Barclay’s Premier League (I know the Koreans are mad about soccer) whic is around that time too. Just guessing anyway
September 3rd, 2012 at 2:25 pm
@ Jennie, maybe you’re right, there’s new programs airing at the same time, but i notice that FF keep dropping but not MQ, May Queen is gaining more viewers every episode, the drama is getting more exciting too.
September 3rd, 2012 at 4:27 pm
@jennie True. There are football matches going around at the same time so that explains the rating drop. Moreover, some will be sleeping early too as the next day will be working day.
September 3rd, 2012 at 5:02 pm
@Cathy & kel May Queen is also pretty good and their strength right now is because of the fantastic lineup of child actors, especially with Kim YJ. I think the real test on the ratings will be when the adults appear in May Queen too, which I think will be from Episode 8/9 onwards. For us netizens, the good thing is we do not have to choose which one to watch first – we just watch whichever one that the subs come out first – speaking for myself of course but my bias is FF
September 3rd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
@ Jennie, will… it’s true… the kids lineup in May Queen are indeed awesome, but considering the FF already started the adult cast, the rating should be at least gain viewers not loss it. I’m actually watching both dramas, base on the pace of the plot and acting of the cast, in my own opinion, May Queen is better. But FF is not bad too. They just need to improve it a bit more interesting. Their casting is good that’s why on the first 3 episode they are leading, but they should consider that in order to get the viewers attention and stay with them , the story must be interesting and worth to watch the others. May Queen is going to start the adult part on episode 9, and the casting is also solid, specially with the two male actors on it. Kim Jae Won, although not very known overseas, he is one of the most popular and well-loved actor in South Korea, i read a lot of news about him. He was chosen as the army ambassador in 2011, and also become ambassador of the University where he graduated. He was respected in that country not only as an excellent actor but as a netizen itself. His appearance in that drama will surely take a lot of attention. But of course, they have to maintain the good story of the drama to keep the viewers loyalty on them. What i’m pointing out is, FF should catch up before MQ started the adult part.
September 3rd, 2012 at 8:37 pm
I don’t get why the ratings are go down. In my opinion the plot of FF is getting more intense and the chemistry of Chae Si Ra, Ji Chang Wook and Joo Ji Hoon in episodes 5 and 6 are really good. I hope the ratings will go up soon because this drama is really good and intense. And also the acting of Jin Se Yeon so far doesn’t disappoint me because I see she can brings out her role as Dami well.
Fighting!
September 3rd, 2012 at 8:49 pm
@Cathy I happen to be a big big fan of Kim Jae Won too but at this stage, I really can’t say which one I like more in terms of story because both have similar plots, though I tend to lean more to FF because of the cast. I am not a fan of Han JH and I’ve never liked her in any of her dramas. Honestly speaking with that kind of controversies surrounding FF in the early stages, it’s already a surprise to me that they have done so well in terms of ratings. My only wish is that they are able to maintain what they have, especially with the new saguek drama, King’s Dream coming up. The leads are especially popular among older Koreans and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they beat both FF and MQ in ratings
But I hope for the best, FF fighting!
September 3rd, 2012 at 9:43 pm
@ Jennie, FF and MQ seems to have a fair competition, although FF faced some issues regarding the casting, they still manage to get into top 20 , which is not surprising because most of the viewers that usually hangout in that channel when Gentleman Dignity was airing still their. That’s one of their advantage. As for MQ, honestly speaking, i love all the child cast, but on the adult cast , only Kim Jae Won captured my interest. I’m not familiar of HJH and JH, i seldom watch their drama. And most of the comments on the thread about MQ that i read, it’s either, fans like the kids or KJW, the other cast are hardly mention. Even on the news, HJH should be the one on the front page, because she is the main character but i always see KJW on the news headline instead of her. On the other hand, what i don’t like on FF thread, is the issue of the scandal and the bad comments of the fans, it’s very off-putting . I like JJH that’s why i’m following FF thread. Actually FF and MQ are unique in their own ways.

I just watched Ep 5 last night. The subs are so slow for this drama. I’m enjoying this drama very much and so far the entire cast has been fantastic. Seems Da Mi’s brother is playing a bigger role than expected and I ‘m glad because I like Jung Eun Woo. As for the brothers, from this episode, JJH and CJW both are looking very good and it’s fun to watch Ji CW playing the antagonist. JSY too is pretty good, the role is perfect for her and her chemistry with the two male leads is good, but I think I prefer the InHa/Dami’s ship right now. They look like a good pairing. Of course I may change my mind later again in the next episode- that’s the best part of this drama. I like all the leads, so doesn’t matter who ends up with whom, yay! On a separate note, I ‘ve never seen such a creepy looking piano in my life before.
September 7th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Eventhough i like JJH… Im not into this drama, they have low ratings not because of the bullying issue of T-ara member EUNJUNG… so she dropped out already… why this drama still have low ratings? It’s not because of her… maybe its a KARMA due to the managements SELFISHNESS
September 7th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Karma ???????
I expect more the storyline this forum not about somebody yelling this ex-cast… Just except all of this to be her destiny..
I’m a little dissapointed with JJH hair style,he has a better hair style in The Devil.. Looking forward to this drama
September 7th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
the subbing for this drama is slow maybe because not much are interested to watch and the subbing team losing their interest to do it. Regarding about the rating, we can’t tell yet what’s the main reason why the rating is getting lower, if it still continue to drop for the next few episode, that means the story is not good, i don’t think it’s about the casting. Most of the time , viewers will tend to stay on the drama if the story is interesting and good, not because of the cast.
September 8th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
even if the story is interesting… then the cast are not good enough to act its useless the viewers will loss the interest to watch it…I must say i like the young cast they have better acting than the grown up…
September 8th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
i’m not watching this drama yet, i agree with you cherry, if i don’t get the emotion of the drama i will stop watching it, i like the moon embrace the sun when the child cast act , suddenly i lost interest when adult cast act s o i didn’t watch it anymore
September 9th, 2012 at 1:32 am
@ cherry and eny,
Are you trying to say that the adult cast of FF are not doing well that’s why the rating keep dropping?
September 9th, 2012 at 1:44 am
in my opinion yes, only the veterans act so well, but the lead characters doesn´t give me any impression thats this drama will be a good one. Sorry for the fans but im just stating my opinion when i saw the grown up doesnt catch my attention to continue to watch it…. Goodluck for the drama hope they can pull attention of the viewers…
