So it’s not broadcast on Korean TV?
September 7th, 2016 at 12:08 am
Maybe
September 21st, 2016 at 7:23 am
i liked the 2003 version though it has many flaws. i hope the remake would be good… but i don’t like the lead actress.
September 27th, 2016 at 2:00 pm
I can wait to watch to this dram…I don’t know how can they summarize the 26 episode of the 2007 version of this… but its a challenge…fighting!!!!
September 29th, 2016 at 4:16 am
I will wait in tv indonesia,i love korean drama
September 29th, 2016 at 4:18 am
Nice artikel, can u tell me where i can downloads this drama??
October 8th, 2016 at 9:57 pm
saw the first few eps now this can turn into a very typical rich man middle class woman in love so i hope the writers have something up their sleeves….otherwise it would be another drama added to my list of disappointments
October 9th, 2016 at 4:48 pm
Just watched the first episode, excellent, thought it was miles better then the original. Really funny… 1st episode was 49 mins long, 2nd episode looks to be 33 minutes?
October 13th, 2016 at 11:20 am
i hope the remake would be good. but i don’t like the lead actress.
October 14th, 2016 at 3:19 pm
I like this remake, it makes me smile, at 1st I was skeptical how a 26 episodes be cramped out in 8 episode remake, but overall it is good drama.
October 15th, 2016 at 3:07 pm
I like ha suk jin ever since.. So boyishly cute and such a goo actor
October 18th, 2016 at 12:38 pm
Why is this drama only 8 episode ? And it’s getting worse where the only 34 minutes in episode 2-4…i love tipically a rich man and middle class woman who falling in love each other…and i love ha seok jin in this drama, looks so cute^^
October 20th, 2016 at 1:10 am
At first, I thought 8 episodes will be too short. Then, I remembered the 120 episode dramas that should have only been 14 -16 episodes because most of it was filler, flashbacks, or trash. I have gotten used to the short episode Japanese dramas that are excellent. Quality over quantity.
October 20th, 2016 at 10:00 am
Hi, please help. Where can I watch this cutie drama? Many thanks 😉
October 23rd, 2016 at 3:15 pm
Prefer the 2003 version.
October 25th, 2016 at 2:11 pm
though i like that the story is phasing fast, i still enjoyed the original. hope they’ll give more justice to this remake with 2 more episodes left.
October 27th, 2016 at 7:56 am
Loving this drama. I like the lead actress. She is really cute. Doesn’t seem like it is going to end tomorrow at episode 8. It seems like they are only just starting to actually like each other rather than just a business rrangement. If tomorrow is really the last episode, it’ll need to be at least an hour long (instead of 30 minutes).

Just found this link http://wiki.d-addicts.com/One_Percent_of_Anything_(2016)/Episode_Ratings that shown the drama has 16 episodes. Maybe initially they planned 8 episodes aired for 1 hour instead 30 minutes.
October 28th, 2016 at 9:53 am
Just find out that this drama not just aired 8 episodes. If look at the after of drama, there’s preview for next episodes. I think 8 episodes just too short for this drama, when the original one is more than that. In my opinion, this drama might have 10 or at most 16 episodes. Make some correction for this drama profile, please !!
October 28th, 2016 at 12:18 pm
after watching ep.8 did they finally decided to extend this drama? i thought this was pre-filmed?
October 28th, 2016 at 5:31 pm
the story is simple but yet it so adorable..the character in the story is so great…and i like them so much i hope this drama will extend…
October 28th, 2016 at 8:20 pm
@Choe77: Based on wiki d-addicts, the total episodes for this drama is 16 episodes which the duration of each episode is 30 minutes. So maybe it wrote down 8 episodes because the duration for each episode is 60 minutes. Please check http://wiki.d-addicts.com/One_Percent_of_Anything_(2016)/Episode_Ratings
@AnCe: yes it is pre-filmed drama, so i thought impossible if they extended. It is only 1 time episode divided into two.
@myxque : u may watch it at dramafire.com
October 29th, 2016 at 12:41 am
What happen in this drama i was so excited to watch this but at the end i was so dis appointed. No ending. The ending was so abrupt.
October 29th, 2016 at 11:34 pm
please share all the ost in this series!!?
October 30th, 2016 at 8:32 pm
@Re_an — many thanks 😉
October 30th, 2016 at 11:23 pm
Is this for real? Having 8 episodes only?! BUT Why? it feels like It left me hangin’… craving for more episodes. If its really for real, it seems like it didn’t had the ending. Can anybody here tell me if its really true. Please. Thank you!
October 31st, 2016 at 8:04 am
@lirryeokie it’s not finish yet in the end of ep 8 you will find preview for the next eps ……I think there is misunderstanding about how many epe it has
October 31st, 2016 at 10:25 pm
Yes I am confused also. 8 Episodes, 16 Episodes, or 20 Episodes. I have seen different says say all three. Just the facts please.
November 2nd, 2016 at 1:00 pm
I really love this drama… I can’t wait for the next episodes….😍😍😍
November 5th, 2016 at 12:55 am
Awesome! Beatiful! Drama…..the main couple are fantastic! love it ove it love it
November 5th, 2016 at 4:08 am
I really like the fact that while maintaining the substance of the original drama, this version has its own identity and color, same thing for the actors. excellent.
November 5th, 2016 at 8:24 pm
My favorite drama. Dada and Jae in ❤️. My daily dose. ❤️❤️
November 6th, 2016 at 10:05 pm
This simple, sweet and short drama is so addictive😉. Han Suk Jin is so charming and Jun So Min is so adorable in this drama😍
November 8th, 2016 at 5:53 pm
@Fullheart5 it’s a matter of time.
8 episodes if it counted more than 1 hour each episode = 16 episodes if it counted about 40 minutes each episode = 32 episodes if it counted about 20 minutes each episode
November 11th, 2016 at 4:12 am
May I know what is the name of the closing soundtrack?
November 12th, 2016 at 8:25 pm
this drama is soo da*n good; light story and sweet.
the chemistry of the two main role is great, the way they fight is so cute, they way they love is so sweet…. i really love this drama.
wednesday, come quick please….
November 13th, 2016 at 9:49 pm
ALREADY INLOVE WITH THIS DRAMA! GREAT STORYLINE! GREAT CASTING! GREAT CHEMISTRY! NOTHING SO MUCH TO SAY COZ ITS PERFECT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED! 😍❤
November 15th, 2016 at 6:55 am
33 to 36 minutes per episode, so that’s 16 episodes. Is this drama also prerecorded like descendants of the Sun.
November 16th, 2016 at 8:42 am
Very cute.
November 17th, 2016 at 5:54 pm
I do like this drama comparing so many for this year. The mai actor is better in this drama comparing to Drinking Solo. I do not like the actress Seo Eun Chae, she isn’t a good actress comparing to so many others. She is so stiff and liek a wood even when she talk. Not natural and kind of piss people off when seeing her..On the whole even the drama not end yet, it is one of the perfect drama for this year and I will certainly vote for it. Both main actor and actress were perfect for this drama. Ganbatte!
Congrats to Director: Kang Chul Woo
Scriptwriter: Hyun Go Woon
to make this drama interesting and alive
November 17th, 2016 at 10:51 pm
Why is it that people have to beat up on actors and actresses skills. Why can’t you all just either watch the drama or not. This is a nice short cute drama, cute actress, nice guy, it all works.
For the critics, There are so many dramas out there, it should be easy to fine one that is perfect in every way possible, so take a chance.
November 19th, 2016 at 3:01 pm
Anyone know the title of ending song in eps 14. I think the singer is Sung Si Kyung but i don’t know the title is.
November 20th, 2016 at 5:05 am
Silverswan, I respect your opinion but I disagree, I think the actress is perfectly fine. There are more beautiful and better actresses out there for sure but I think she is doing a good job. At least I buy her role as a sweet and caring school teacher. This remake drama follow the original quite closely but finally it start to deviate a little bit by episode 14. Only one more week to go so there is almost no chance for the other couples to get together, let see what happen.
November 24th, 2016 at 1:39 am
Perfect! Awesome! Lovely! Fantastic! DRAMA ………..since 2013 this is the first drama with a lot of Love & Sweet scenes, Real Kiss scenes… no Third Bad wonderful chemistry…..the main actor Superb!!! of course the Main Actress too…..to sad is going to end……for sure i will see it again
November 24th, 2016 at 10:54 am
OH MY GOD…
unbelievable, I really love this drama.

unfortunately it will come to end tomorrowl. T___T
November 25th, 2016 at 12:53 am
My pick for best drama in all along the year of 2016.
So light and very romantic. No evil devil whatsoever.
So sad it will end tomorrow. T___T
With drama like this, I wish it will go until 50 episode ^___^
November 25th, 2016 at 9:06 am
Auw such sweet and lovely story even it’s remake but they have different feel. It was light drama but wonderful story till the end. No boring story line they made it so tight story but meaningful only for the main couple. Thanks to the writer and producer for made a good drama to watch !
I’m so impressed with this drama after Healer. The main actors have a good chemistry together. I’m just wondering that they have a real feeling to each other in the real life ……
