Baek Sung-hyun shakes off minor filming injury
by javabeans
Twenty-year-old cutie Baek Sung-hyun (Our School E.T., Stairway to Heaven) is currently playing a movie star’s rebellious younger brother in KBS’s Accidental Couple and had a minor injury while filming the drama.
In Episode 5, his character gets into a fight with Hwang Jung-min (who is entering into a contract marriage with Baek’s sister, played by Kim Ah-joong). He hit a wall and scraped the skin from both hands, and while I’m sure that stung, this is such a minor story that it’s odd to see it in so many media sites. (In fact, at first I thought it must be a motorcycle-related accident, since all the articles were using photos of him seated on his bike.)
I wonder if it’s only being reported now to drum up ratings; while the Wednesday-Thursday drama ratings have been relatively even across the board so far, City Hall is in first, its most recent episode posting a 14.6%, with Accidental Couple in second with 10.3% and Cinderella Man slipping into last with 7.9%.
I liked the first couple episodes of Accidental Couple, but I’m starting to lose interest in this drama. Anyone watching think it’s going to get better and should be worth sticking around for? These days I just don’t have the time to stick with a “maybe-but-probably-not” series.

I like City Hall. I have seen 4 episodes now and it is really funny. I laughed out loud several times. It is pretty entertaining. The two lead actors has great chemistry. I saw Accidental Couple and it was boring to me. I like the main character though. He is really funny, but I can't say much about KAJ though.

I'm sure there was a few Kindy tots that wished for their scraped knees and elbows, to get the same attention as Baek Sung-hyun. Wonder who got the job of painting and blowing HIS wounds.
Watched to episode 3of AC, still a bit on the fence - City Hall has me in stitches, Hehe, King Kong.

I know intitally you didn't like what you saw of City Hall, but I'm finding it hysterical. Unfortunately, Accidental Couple is turning into a bit of a snooze fest, but that's okay as my drama viewing is getting out of control with all the goodies currently on offer.

Baek Sung Hyun is so HOT!
I'd have to say, of all the Wed-Thurs dramas, City Hall has come out as my favorite. It is surprisingly hilarious. I LOLing so hard at the end of episode 4 that I had tears streaming down my face. The story is ok, but what hooked me was the chemistry between Kim Sun ah and Cha Seung Won....just explosive.
Check out this hilarious clip:

Personally, I'm preparing to bail on Just Looking. I loved Hwang Jungmin, but now it's getting tiring to see his character, so obliging and a total pushover. Don't even get me started on Kim Ahjoong's character, annoys me to death. I'm still holding out for Lee Chungah and Baek Sunghyun actually, their characters seem more interesting to watch.
I hate to admit it, but I do find City Hall fun and hilarious. Yes, there's an air of fakeness and arrogance, but when it boils down to Kim Sunah and Cha Seungwon, they are actually okay, both are, imo, much better actors than those in the writer's previous dramas. I'm adopting a wait and see attitude for now.

I haven't been watching That Fool very religiously. *shrugs* It's cute, but right now it's just a pleasant diversion rather than something I feel invested in.
Right now, (in order) I'm into Story of a Man, Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance, and Strike Love. You know the other two, but Brilliant Legacy is all cheesy and shiny and fluffy-light, and I can't look away. It's like surprisingly nutrious cotton candy made of crack. Also, Secondary Male (played by Bae Soo Bin) is seriously perfect. Lee Seung-gi hasn't convinced me he's leading man material yet, but he's adequate, and Han Hyo Joo is adorable as the main girl. I was very pleasantly surprised by this show, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try.
I'm still waiting for Triple, though. THAT is a show that I need to see. (Yoon Kye-saaaaannnnnggggggg~ <3)

I gave up on Accidental Couple after the 3nd episode... It's boring me to bits. I thought Kim Ah Joong would be better than that. Her acting just came across as a little flat to me and both leads are missing the chemistry. =(
On the other hand, I am loving City Hall. Cha Seung Won and Kim Sun Aa have great chemistry and the show is funny. Plus the main theme in the drama is so cute!

One of the reasons i kinda got stuck with Accidental Couple is because i thought he was really cute. I was going to give up on it since it was boring but then BAM he appears lol XD But hope he gets better.
There haven't been any good dramas lately...but i am completely hooked on Shining Inheritance with Han Hyo Joo and Lee Seung Gi =]
Been trying to get to Story of a Man and even have the 1st two episodes on my computer but I'm just really interested in those type of dramas...maybe I'll give it a chance later on

I saw the first episode of Accidental Couple and it was a BOREFEST. I could barely keep my attention on the screen. Actually, I minimized the window and played freecell. So boring. I will definitely not be continuing. I didn't have high expectations to begin with but I wanted to see the first episode to see if it would rope me in.
I am currently watching Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy. LOVING IT. I check for subs 3 times a day. Why is no one watching this?
Also, quick question about Korean broadcasting system: Are the shows that play on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu considered "higher" quality than the weekend ones? I notice that the Mon/Tue/Wed ones are the ones talked about and advertised most. Also most of these follow the 16 episode, while the others have more (SI/BL has 26 episodes). So . . . ?? Are the longer ones on the weekends similar to the "soaps" that we have here in the States, the ones that don't show primetime and aren't regarded as highly as the night-time shows?

I watched up to Ep 6 of That Fool...I think they should speed up the romance part...cos it's getting a lil boring.
But I think Ep 7 (next week) should be good. ^^

oooo.. maybe ill stick around til that episode just for him.. then i might drop it. i'm sick of kim ah-joong's character being so fake. maybe that's not what is supposed to be portrayed but that's what i'm picking up on...i stuck around for jungmin's character but even that is getting boring ..there needs to be some serious character development! and is it just me, or are the two lacking chemistry? even story of a man has more chemistry between all the random possible couples then this drama... lol.. i thought that eunsoo and her brother (and no im not for incest) had more chemistry and tension filled scenes then these two ^_^
As for shining inheritance, ive noticed you havent put any posts on it, have you watched any of the eps? its actually not bad, i was a bit surprised.. i think its more interesting then this one, which is sort of sad, since i really "used to" like the cast in previous projects -_-

^ Regarding Shining Intheritance / Brilliant Legacy... I saw the first episode. It was okay. Not bad (Bae Soo-bin, mm!), but it kind of felt like a really well-produced daily drama. As in, the conflicts are obvious and the characters are cute and all right, but the drama feels overall rather ordinary. Am I missing something fantastic by thinking this?

It seems like I'm the only one, but I like That Fool a lot. I find the main character so sweet & thoughtful and the actress pretty, but a little flat. I wish too they would speed up on the romance part. I think it will become more entertaining and addicting once the 2 leads develop some kind of a real relationship. But so far I'm enjoying it! City Hall, I haven't started watching yet. But since a lot of people have mentioned how good it is, I'll give it a try as soon as I find some free time.

I'm enjoying That Fool a lot, too. It's got a lot of warmth, as well as humor. Lee Chung Ah's a hoot, and Baek Sung Hyun's all grown up. rawr.
Those looking for 막장 may not find it interesting, but I find the drama endearing.
Hwang Jung Min makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :)

Wednesday-Thursday is completely barren for me! None of the 3 really works for me. It's fine since the others like Story of a Man is way awesome and keeps me busy.
As for Shining Inheritance, I totally agree with you that it looks very predictable. It's something I would watch if I were bored but with other good dramas going on, I frankly don't have the time.
I guess that's a good thing to happen. Stick with what you like JB!

I recommend you watch episode 4 and 6. You will be hook in City hall.
Both lead actors are brilliant performer, specially KSA.
You will laugh and cry with her scenes in epi 6.

Yes, Suna is real amazing in City Hall. Her performance as MiRae
is really impeccable! And this couple, Suna and CSW, sizzles on
the screen.

Without a doubt City Hall is the series to catch on the Wed/Thurs lineup. KSA and CSW are AMAZING together. The tango dance they did during one episode had me on the edge of my seat! Dramabeans you should definitely consider watching/blogging this series, definitely a must-see! love love love it!

I have to jump in on this late wagon.
But YES! City Hall is the only series left worth watching in the Wed/Thur slot. Dropped CM after 2 epis and AC/TF after 4 epis.
Like what has been generally said, no real character development in TF and the chemistry between the leads is non-existent. Look here, there isn't any chemistry with her secret lover to speak of in the first place. And if I were to continue watching this for the endearing side characters, something is seriously wrong with this drama. They are paying the WRONG people!
City Hall : I must have used up half a box of tissues in epi 6. The other half of the box was used up while watching epi 3 & 4...tears from laughing so hard. As so many posts have mentioned this, and I can't emphasize it enough, the chemistry between KSA and CSW is electrifying. ZAP! ZAP! And so tomorrow is Wednesday!
