Everyone will compare Korean version with Japanese one . Kim Seung Woo must have a lot of pressure from it.

Wait, this is an SBS drama with these ratings? I understand that it airs late at night, but still, this is SBS, what’s going on?
July 9th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
i have not watch. don’t know nice or not.
maybe its bc its 30 minutes drama, its short, its after midnight when most people going to sleep
AND U NEED 30 SATURDAYS TO COMPLETE AND WHOLE DRAMA = about 7 & 1/2 months
For me, i will rather wait till the drama completes. 😛
July 9th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Sorry, its 2 episodes per day but actually its 30 mins + 30 mins = 1 hour
still you needs about 3 months…. that s long for after midnight drama
July 17th, 2015 at 1:31 am
really ……the first and the second episodes are very emotional, very impressive…I hope it continue like that..thank you

How does rating work is it the less the better
July 24th, 2015 at 9:45 am
Dee dee @12. It’s a measure of percent viewership. Higher is better. However, no way will a drama have a large viewership after midnight. Even 11 pm is a tough slot — the truly excellent “Nine” was on at 11 pm, for instance, and peaked at about 2%, albeit on tvN, a cable channel. For all we can tell, everyone awake and watching TV on Saturday night might be watching this particular show but 98% of potential watchers are asleep. So “Rating” can have nothing to do with how people rate a show. In general, though, if “Ratings” go up over time, viewers seem to like a show. If they go down, some obviously don’t.

Is there anything wrong in the rating? Up to Aug 8, there are only 10 episodes.
August 25th, 2015 at 2:15 am
what the hell is it? the ratings are poor like blood etc. that the ratings are only one digit.
August 25th, 2015 at 2:18 am
30 episodes now become 20 episodes..my ranking for this drama is 50 above.
September 8th, 2015 at 9:06 pm
You forgot another cameo lol. Kim Junho (the gag concert comedian) made appearance on episode 20. add him thereeee lol
September 17th, 2015 at 10:08 pm

September 20th, 2015 at 12:24 am
