Thé makjang free drama?? Well those ratings are terrible I feel bad for LSW and PSY. On the upside this a chance for them to star in short series yaay!

Well, this not good news for Feel Good Day or the future of makjang-free shows. I have been steadily watching it and like the characters and the two story lines regarding Parkinson's and Dyslexia. Sorry to see that everyday stuff does not seem to be popular. Back to chaebol and candy/cinderella and melo-craziness.

I do want to see Modern Farmer, but not at the expense of slashing FGD.

I am going to miss that cast of characters, especially Seo Jae Woo who is a big gooey good guy with the best smile (thank you Lee Sang Woo!)

You know I actually don't find a problem with makjang- so I'm not entirely sure why it's banned. I mean sure, it can get a bit insane, but the heart pounding intensity o makjangs made me fall in love with dramas in the first place

Nooooo this drama is so good! I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it yet. It's not slow for a 50-episode drama and every new episode was like a breath of fresh air with no crazy plot twist or evil-for-the-sake-of-being-evil characters. This drama is such an enjoyable watch and Park Se Young and Lee Sang Woo are so adorable together. I hope they end this drama on a good note because pretty much every character here deserves a happy ending.

oh my! why did the site of those cabbages at the end of the clip pretty much convince me to watch Farmer?

Oh, Lee Hong-ki, how I adore thee. Hehe. But seriously, I'd completely forgotten about Modern Farmer until this post. I'm looking forward to it!

Too bad about Feel-Good Day. I've not been watching it, but it's really sad that dramas devoid of makjang angst get the axe when dramas with a makjang overload don't. It just proves that the human race is full of masochists. In the best possible way, of course.

Park Min-Woo as a hardcore rocker? ::sporfle:: I'm sorry, I don't think I can suspend my disbelief that far. Look at him, trying to throw horns with that enormous grin on his face (::laughs::) - it's like a middle-schooler trying to be a badass.

Plus, he's so adorably baby-faced it's ridiculous. ::pinches his lil' baby cheeks::

Cute pics of the new F4. (or Cabbage Patch Kids since they are stuck in the outer boonies)
Love Lee Hong Ki in Bride of the Century and Park Min Woo! Looks like a funny show!

When you say "farmer" I say anything but Min-woo and Hong-ki.

Min-woo's dreds, oh that's not him. Nevermind.

Cabbages.

Sure, I'm in.

I've been faithfully watching Glorious Day and, honestly, I'm actually fine with it being cut down. It's at a point where there's really only 1 big reveal left and that can be handled easily in 1 episode. For makjang-free series, it did tend to drag on a little much, IMO. Some scenarios could have been handled better to improve the storytelling.

Jan Bori is actually - FINALLY - good! I love, love, LOVE Mr. Moon Ji Sang. Whenever he interacts with his psychotic ex-girlfriend, it's drama gold! I hope to see him as lead in other dramas soon.

I can watch Hong Ki all day just being silly. Add Honey Lee to the mix for some talented eye candy for us guys and it's hard to resist. Meta and fish out of water hijinks seems awesome as long as it's done right.

Wow that makjang free family drama sounds like what I THOUGHT these sort of dramas would be like. I can't stomach most of them because there are so many mean characters and ridiculous drama. There at least should be a mix of feel good makjang free dramas and the usual formula we see. I hope SBS doesn't give up. Please give us variety!

Anyway I'll definitely be checking out Feel Good Day and maybe Modern Farmer. I really like Lee-Hong Ki after seeing his instagram. A little shallow I know but I like how carefree, fun and open he is with his fans. He doesn't focus on looking as cool and good looking as possible all the time.

Wow. That is SUCH a shame. I admit, I've been saving the show to marathon because I simply don't have the time right now, but I really thought it would be doing better because it's delightful. And I certainly don't want them to change their new policy!

That said, I'm super stoked about Modern Farmer. That trailer is awesome! And I just adore both Lee Hong-ki and Park Min-woo :) The premise alone makes me feel like we won't be in for makjang and hopefully it will draw in veiwers more than it's predecessor.

Yeah, the makjang-free policy's on shaky ground. In July, they started a new morning drama ("Cheongdamdong Scandal") that still seems to brim with makjang to the max. And it's currently topping the daytime ratings, with 13-15%.

Although, there's a thin sliver of hope in the evening daily "I Only Want to Love," because it's currently beating MBC's "Make a Wish" (MBC is Makjang Broadcasting Channel) in the ratings by a small margin. But, again, both are dumped by KBS2's 20% hit, "Cuckoo Nest," although to be fair, it's not a direct competitor (SBS/MBC soaps air at 7:20-8:00; KBS2 at 7:50-8:30).

As for "Modern Farmer":

"The show’s first teaser is more like a meta commercial, in which idol rocker Lee Hong-ki is presented with the script for Modern Farmer. He pitches a diva hissy fit that he’s a Big Star and can’t be shooting crappy old-fashioned homestead dramas in the boonies..."

I almost thought this meant LHK's character will be doing a drama-within-the-drama that's a parody of KBS's "Hometown Over the Hill." Haha.

I don't know what happen to the casts of the rock band of Modern Farmer, but the youngest is not Kim Jaehyun right ? he is Kwak Dongyeon, one of FNC's young actor..

Awwww I love Feel Good Day! It's actually the first weekend drama I have ever stuck with, all the others I have even bothered with I have skipped the last third and watched the end, but this one is sweet, and heartwarming and different. I'll be happy if at least they wrap everything up, but I feel badly for the cast :(

Nooooo.. I love Feel Good Day, it is actually fun, fresh, upbeat and all the family members actually have nice story for each of them. The writer really did a great job planning the story.
On the other hand, cant wait for Modern Farmer to premiere as well, really hope that its going to be a nice drama to watch.

This drama started out beautifully, without the makjang. It was warm, sane truly depicting the struggle of a single mother.

However, whether it was due to ratings or whatever, the story had gotten bogged down with the character of Sin Ae. Every episodes was revolving around this unappealing, whiny, bratty character that was supposed to be an adult daughter, wife and mother.

At this point, a cut in episodes will just mean we have to see less of that character. Hurray!

I had such great expectations for this drama. It was a welcome and refreshing change.

I've enjoyed watching FGD until the last few weeks. But having said that I went into it knowing it was makjang free. When the histrionics started that's when I stopped enjoying it.

That's why as a viewer it's even more disappointing that the ratings are so low. That means that the future for such shows are dim. It's such a huge pity as I truly do not enjoy makjang dramas.
