August 17th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
LOW RATING ??? ,,but i think it will be big in next episode.
August 17th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
low rating? what happened?? i think this drama is great actually (although can’t compare to japanese version). -____-” korean viewer is freakin weird
August 17th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
whats going on with the low rating? i would think this drama would be Hit because all teens are waited these one-_-
sulli minho fighting!!
just beacuse its low not meant i wont watched, but i’m still watch it anyway!
@nadhira haha they are!-_- everyone is waited these to be aired, and got excited. lol but this? -_- i bet korean viewer love the drama that between family, action or complicated? :O
August 17th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
I think the low rating is because there’re competitor like Arang and a drama in the middle of climax Bridal Mask in the same airing. And the leading cast Shin Min Ah & Lee Jun Ki (Arang) and Joo Won (Bridal Mask) are basically an actor not an idol. In my opinion, it’s not because of the plot, but korean viewers are expecting more at the acting of the “real” actor, and then the acting of an idol who become an actor in a drama. and then, this story is about highschool and youth, who the most of the viewers are teenager or around 20-25, and how about the people in over 30? I think they’re not much interest, they more interest in a drama such a complicated story, historical, or fantasy. that’s my opinion
TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU, FIGHTING! :3

Hey !! Sulli is so cute there !
Even the japanese ver. is more funny and I love Orguri Chun
But this is must-watched !
August 17th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Do not seem to get the same chemistry of relationship of the two lead actors like when watching Hana Kimi. Orguri Chun has the special ‘look’ that captured viewers heart. Now he is acting in a new drama called Rich Man Poor Woman.
Anyway, hope the characters of the two main actors in this drama will get viewers attention.

The lead actors seems to be lacking with appeal but I get to like her leading lady. I wonder what the producer saw with the lead actor that he was casted for the role.
August 17th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
The lead actor is very popular in Korea currently. I have not seen him in the major drama genre currently. Probably, this drama that is focused to market among teenagers that are crazy with min ho, the producers are banking on his popularity to boost the drama’s rating.
August 18th, 2012 at 1:12 am
OMG..the ratings are way too low..
August 18th, 2012 at 2:10 am
Why’s the ratings so low for this show? It’s not good? I thought this had a bunch of idols starring in it.
August 18th, 2012 at 8:46 am
Why this drama has low ratings?the answer is simple the actors acting is just so bad.
