yeah its that kind of drama.we already know the story they shouldnt have released the extended preview tho.but the girl overacted ..........KHJ well its atleast better than BOF orange hair and all ........

DIRECTOR PLEASE GET OUT OF GOONG AND MAKE SUMTHIN ORIGINAL WITHOUT TEDDYBEARS

OMG!! what a bad rating. i think viewers want to watch dis drama but since they are hooked with baker kim takgu and my gf is gumiho which are really fascinating drama with a good storyline. other than that mebi this is a remake drama so viewer already know its storyline a bit. so PK will become their third choice. Kim takgu now are leads to the climax so viewer doesn't want to miss it out bcos they had patiently watch it since episode 1. but i believe the viewer will see PK by the internet. i'm one of them.i believe PK will be the most down loaded and commented drama in 2010 :)

for KHJ~

KBS2's Sa Yug Shin got a Record low of 1.9% on its 21st Episode,Anyways,Who will watch this series,Most of its actors were from North Korea.

I think it's pretty harsh to call her ugly. She isn't the typical pretty face that Koreans like, but the role is about a plain girl who gets the guy of her dreams.

dude she is incredibly pretty! and most importantly doesnt look plastic!
sure she has the YEH teeth but this what normal pretty humans look like without surgical enhancement (usually )

That''s a bit harsh to say she's ugly. A newbie yes, but unfortunately, the drama doesn'tt stand a chance against the competition which have already built a solid audience.

Maybe another time, when other dramas suck, they may have had a better chance finding their audience.

As for me, the story simply didn't appeal to me. Besides, I love Baking King and am sort of watching My Girlfirend.

And this is why theirs so many plastic surgeries these days. Even if you think she's ugly, why does that matter? It's a drama.

Can only pretty people be seen on screen?
How shallow can fans be!

the lead actor is ugly.

Calling the lead actress ugly is completely uncalled for, so is calling the lead actor ugly (for others who said this). Who are you calling someone ugly, I don't care if she is not of your taste, you have no right to call anyone ugly for any reason in terms of their looks.

I agree that in many k-dramas the leading actresses are ugly. But in this case, you couldn't be more wrong. The girl is really pretty, even compared to a non-asian girl. As for the leading man, even though he is too old to be a high-school student, he doesn't show his real age. Maybe is because of the clothes, I don't know. I think KHJ is very suited for the role, he gives off that arrogant air of irie naoki really well. Although I still believe that Lee Min Ho would've been a better choice.

The story is supposed to be about this plain girl who gets the popular/smartest guy in school, who is supposed to be way out of her league.
I think JSM is very cute and adorable, she is supposed to be a high school girl! I don't think she's ugly. Instead, I like that she isn't plastic or overly made up, she looks the part of a regular high school girl.

Yeah, the first episode (or the 5 min I watched before it was prohibited to subbers only) made it seem more for younger teens and even pre-teens. Which makes me sad because I was hoping that this would improve on the Taiwanese version, and make the characters likeable and this story for people of all ages.

I'm hoping this improve through the episodes but I feel it's a long shot.

ppl are watching it online.

for the win!

My family is watching Tak Goo, but even as we're watching it, we complain about how this drama does not merit the high ratings that it's been receiving. (I know I sound like a hypocrite b/c I still watch it, but my reasoning is that I watch it online and so don't contribute to the tv rating).

I'm not against makjang dramas (I agree they can be addicting), but as far as makjangs are considered, I think Tak Goo is even of a lower quality within that genre. The main actors are seriously BAD, the characters are inconsistent, and the story line feels forced.

It honestly upsets me that this drama is doing so well because it means that networks will continue to make more dramas with this formula as it "worked." Errrrg.

well, wrong timing is a problem, but this rating is just bad.

Even during Iris big broadcast ratings, other small drama such as You're Beautiful managed to get passable ratings.

watching the previews I totally got a Goong vibe, which didn't do much for me since Goong was a hot mess.

Now that you mention that, it makes sense. I expected tons of teens to watch this but if their house has only one TV (which is what I expect is the norm in Korea), mom and dad are going to overrule any teen's vote.

How exactly are the ratings measured?

i absolutely agree with you. wasn't a fan when he was in BOF/BFF and definitely not a fan now.

yes! preach it like it is!

i hope this drama's bad ratings will discourage kim hyun joong from acting in any other dramas in the future, he has a nice face (minus the uneven nostrils) but cannot act for his life!!!

Agreed.
His performance in Boys Over Flower was so dull and bland. He brings no energy to the screen, and he only relies on his "good looks" which is also questionable.
Overall, it hurt my eyes watching him.

dont say that......when you read his past life story ....you will know it......he came to this industry just for being a guitarist..but KBS pick him and put him to SS501 as a leader and.....day by day....suddently he became famous! and because of his faith and luck ...he in this drama tooo!.........just give him a chance.....

Sadly, I have to agree on his "acting" skills. Hanazawa Rui was my absolute favorite character in Hana Yori Dango and Kim Hyun Joong made watching the Rui parts in BOF/BFF unbearable for me. Luckily, Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum kept the drama floating with their charm and acting skills.

I don't expect spectacular acting from idols, though some are just amazing, but I do expect some level of skill if you plan to call yourself an actor.

That aside, he does look handsome.

Sorry but I dont think we should even call KHJ an actor... because he's not cut out to be one at the moment. Maybe he will get better if he goes to acting school.

This is exactly why im not watching it...she killed my baby and i cant forgive her for that so yeah i hope her show bombs!!!
