   @kimerica #349:

   you know, this kinda plot in kdrama has been worked to death as far as i know minus, of course the musical parts…evil stepmother, stepbrother, backstabbing, schemings, fighting ovr inheritance n what not….this has been repeated umpteenth times n i guess viewers are getting tired.

   the double-faced stepmother irks me the most, the clueless hero who needs to be shaken up, the angst-fueled stepbro…a goofy looking n inexperienced female lead….all will add up to unsatisfactory ratings against other dramas….’may queen’ for one. may queen projects a brighter outlook….an ambitious heroine chasing her dream is more attractive, i guess.

   however, for the sake of joo ji hoon, who is trying hard to regain his popularity n to piece back together his tumultuous life….i’ll hang in there!

   Hey guys, for those who are talking nonsense and unpleasant remarks, can you please show some respect. I’m not a fan of any of the cast, i’m just a normal Kdrama lover, but i don’t think it is right to attack any of the artist. Comparing one artist to another is acceptable, but insulting them just like the way you are doing now is unfair to everyone. If you want to support your favorite star, why don’t you write words of encouragement, instead of talking nonsense…

   @ptsh836 #334 Oh dear, don’t get me wrong, i wasn’t talking about the lead actress as she is… my remarks was all about the scene on the drama.. but thanks for your input..

   Anyway, I am really hoping that the rating will get better soon… it is just because i read on some sites that for these dramas/ actors/ actresses to be recognized for any awards, the show itself must be high rating… I am hoping JJH’s return as a mature actor will be recognized.. even the ‘evil mom’, her poker face is really infuriating and i think that is what the production intended to do.. such a waste if they won’t be recognized for this..!

   Yaay i really hope the viewers will start seeing the show not just as some controversial drama but really appreciate the depth of the storyline itself..

   Peace to All!!

   i cant imagine you thinking we are attacking the actors/actresses personally….do we even know them that well for that matter.

   its not difficult to see that we are only just discussing the characters of said drama…how it is affecting us…n how it is affecting d ratings, etc

   geeez, we are only interested in what is going on with this drama n contributing our positive n negative views/comments here which is everyone’s right….we’re not attacking anyone here…plz get it straight!

   @ ptsh836 354, Please don’t misunderstood me… i’m actually talking about the previous comments, not yours. It’s just happen that my comment comes after you. I read all the comments from page 1 down to this page out of curiosity, and for my disappointment, i only see bad words like “Bitch or Disgusting” from those childish fans. I’m expecting something about the drama and not the personal life of the cast.

   I think you are being defensive too because of what’s going on here. I’m not referring to any particular person when i wrote my comment. I think this would be the first and last time that i would check out about this drama, it’s not because the drama is bad or not interesting but because of the people here who really pissed me off… Well… Good luck to this drama…

   @kimerica – #349

   If you’ve only watched 5 1/2 episodes, then you’ve only seen 1 1/2 episodes with JJH and JCW. I don’t know about you, but it usually takes me several episodes to really get into characters. I may like them in the early episodes, but I tend not to really love them until I’ve watched about a third of a drama.

   Also, I find that you either love melodramas or you hate them, because there is no assurance of a happy ending. Or. at least an ending that won’t piss you off. Five Fingers is the first melodrama that I’m watching while it airs in Korea. So far, I’m enjoying it.

   @ptsh836 #351

   All k-drama plots have been done to death, so it’s not surprising that this melodrama contains elements common to most melodramas. What makes or breaks a drama for me are the actors. If I love them, I can stick with the drama, unless the writing becomes strange and inconsistent. For Five Fingers, I love the actors and I’m enjoying the writing. So, it’s working for me.

   I haven’t watched May Queen, but it seems to have a standard love plot with a triangle between the lead female and the two male leads. I’ve found that this type of plot is typically more popular than those where the love plot may not be *the* main focus of the drama.

   I know there are other elements involved in the storyline of May Queen, but from what I understand those elements include the same characters who are involved in the love triangle. Therefore the love story could be considered *the* main focus no matter what.

   In contrast, although the love triangle in Five Fingers should become a prominent plot point, the larger plot focuses on the relationships between Young Ran, her step-son, Ji Ho and her son In Ha. All of the storylines for the other characters are connected to one or all of these three characters.

   At this point, the young woman involved in the triangle, Da Mi, doesn’t seem to be actively involved in the drama’s major storyline, outside of being the girl in the triangle between her, Ji Ho and In Ha. For those who love traditional romances where the female is the driving force for moving the overall storyline, this could be disappointing. It also doesn’t help that Da Mi is so young that she doesn’t have a strong presence. Because of this, she’s overshadowed by they other female lead, Young Ran, the mom.

   I’m glad you plan to hang in there for JJH’s sake, but I hope you find more to enjoy as you continue to watch. As I said, I’m loving this drama, so far.

   @agave #356:

   phewww…finally i meet someone who knows what she/he is talking abt

   your knowledge abt the intricate workings of kdramas is most appreciated. ive been feeling slightly peeved by all the animosity thrown in by some hardcore fans…its a relief ive not been scarred for life!

   anyway…this drama will surely be drawing out all kinds of emotions from viewers; its intense, dark n stressing to say the least…

   storyline, actors, actresses is one thing…but chemistry between leads is equally important. ive encountered many dramas where ive not been able to continue watching becuz of chemistry issues; when i cant root for the leads…that is when i drop said dramas…

   so, for me…its still too early to assess whether this drama will succeed …but i’ll surely be hanging in there.

   i never hope the rantings will drop even when they kick out eunjung. I love to see eunjung in this drama but right now I glad that she is not in drama because if she still in this drama she will be blame when the rantings keep decreasing.

    @ptsh836 I truly appreciate your reply to my comment and I understand your point of view. I’m a big fan of both male leads, but particularly wanted to see
    JJH have a great role in his first drama after military service. I’m just afraid that
    this will be another Fashion King debacle and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

    I watch all kinds of kdramas and enjoy most of them. The only other drama I gave up on was FK. (I did go back to see the last ep. after reading about how bad the ending was. I disagree about that: the hit…You Ah In’s death was the perfect
    ending, I think. I will come back here to see if the drama improves judging by
    comments and start watching again if it does. Hope so for JJH’s sake.

    Joo JI Hoon is such a waste in this drama. It’s good to see him grown into a strong young man but seriously, what is this story is about! It’s soooooo boring. How can a writer even think of such evil mom character.

    All the characters in this drama are either evil or stupid.
    May Queen on the other hand is much interesting story although it also got evils in there.

    I manage to watch until episode 8, on first 5 episode i feel that the story is interesting, but i’m getting bored from the rest of the part… the story is not the characters are not balance, or maybe i should the evil mom acted her role very well and the others just do what so ever they can, i don’t feel iay life or excitement in this drama, Although i like JJH a lot, still didn’t work for me. May Queen has a lighter and more simple plot but the story goes so well as well as characters role. Even if you can almost predict what will happen next, the excitement is always their. When i started to watch both dramas, i thought FF is better, but after watching 8 episode, i realize that May Queen is much more better and worth to watch. Anyway, i still watch this drama for JJH, but maybe later on…

    I watched up to the start of episode 6. The characters make some ludicrous decisions. I don’t know what the writer is smoking, but this thing is at times convoluted and perhaps too much over-thinking the plot. The term which comes to mind is “analysis paralysis”.

    For example, inadvertently leaking a portion of the music to the net, getting lots of views in a matter of hours is generally great marketing. It should bolster ticket sales to the upcoming concert. Yet the professor’s character decides to drop the composer because his pride was hurt. What planet is this? The writer of this drama seem so out of touch with how things really work.

    If the music is good and the orchestra is well rehearsed, one would take the ‘happy accident’ for a blessing. In real life, the best artists and composers know that even when one puts in their all, there is no guaranteed success. Fate plays a hand in it. And because fate threw in a card in the form of a viral marketing video which garnered interest, all the hardworking people including the professor would acknowledge it, and take the high road. That’s the reality, which the writer ought to know.

    There are a few of these banal contrivances in the script, makes me want to strangle the writer.

    I would enjoy this drama if the writer would treat me the viewer, with a little more respect. Let the characters decisions be made according to their nature, not according the writer’s whim. To put it bluntly, stop dicking around writer-neeem!

    @Lorem, I disagree. It appears you missed a crucial part of that first scene in episode 6. The professor was angry because, in episode 5 Da, Mi told him she had found the sheet music discarded on the street. In that first scene in episode 6, the professor tells Ji Ho that he doesn’t want a composer who is so careless that he could leave the professor’s work in the street.

    Furthermore, most artists would not be happy about having their unpublished work “stolen” and released without their permission. If they’re unknown, they’ll probably have to sue for the rights to any benefits. Even if they’re well-known, they may still have to sue to prove the work is rightfully theirs.

    Therefore, if this had happened in real life lawyers would be involved. The only way something like this may have worked as a marketing benefit is if the public already knew this was the professor’s work. In that case, having a video featuring his music go viral could have increased interest in his work.

    first time i read the synopsis i’m more interesting about five finger than may queen but after i read a comment about the plot similar to baker king, it reduce my interest eventhought baker king is one of my favorite drama all time, and i see the rating of May Queen is better than five finger

    i think it’s not fair to blame the low rating because of eunjang, she’s not here anymore. It’s really interesting they kicked eunjang out because they afraid the rating will drop and after Eunjang out people still blame her because this drama get low rating

    I’m not Eunjang fans i just feel weird about this and i still wanna try this drama

    and I guess I will not see her again next episode.

    Yes, this drama is going to continue to wring out emotions from viewers and this is only the beginning. I say that because I some are watching because they’re hoping for a strong romantic element with a happy ending. However, I suspect that even if some of them get their wish, it’s not going to be an easy ride.

    The thing is that this is not a feel-good drama, but there appears to be a lot of viewers wouldn’t normally watch a melodrama who are watching this because they support the actors. Much of that support is from JJH fans.

    I used to avoid melodramas too, but recently I started watching a few out of curiosity. So far, none of the melodramas I’ve watched had a happy ending. None. Zero. Zip.

    Because of this, I’m prepared for anything with Five Fingers.
