Too bad, even though I haven't seen the first two episodes, I like the storyline. Let's hope Korean audiences give it a chance! :)

I'm pretty glad that the show is bombing actually. See it as cleaning house, getting rid of the mediocrity. Crappy source makes a crappy drama. I hope it continues to falter just out of simple spite.

I just finished watching episode 2 and really hope the ratings pick up. Please, please, please DRAMA GODS! I implore thee!

the ratings are just sad. i have only seen the first episode but honestly, it was so long and i understand why the ratings were so low. the beginning with the whole fantasy took forever to start the story and the entire time i was like, when will she give him the letter. khj, its early to tell but i hope his acting improved. they weren't better in playful kiss in the 1st ep. episode 2, from the preview, seems interesting. hopefully, it will speed up a bit. im just so used to ISWAK that i was just waiting for her to give the note since that was the first scene in ISWAK. there are just too many fantasies, its like, get on with the love story and the main leads, they do not seem to have such a great chemistry where you just fall in love with them and that could be the problem. audiences are probably not attracted to the lead couple which is a turn off to not watch the drama.

I watched the first episode yesterday and it felt like it was 3 hours long. Just painful. Hopefully, it'll improve but honestly, in this case, there's a reason for the 3% ratings.

it's really surprising. the taiwanese version is HUGE, and you'd think a young korean audience would eat this stuff up, especially considering how popular hyunjoong is, and with the goong vibes and how popular THAT was. i wonder what's turning people off.

imo one factor could be that there's a sudden burst of REALLY good dramas, or dramas that a lot of people want to see, and this is just one too many to keep up with. do online views count towards ratings? maybe they should introduce a system like BBC's iPlayer, etc, where people can watch online through the broadcaster's own website, and then that can count towards ratings.

But if you look at the lineup for Wed and Thursday, Playful Kiss is competing with strong contenders. Playful Kiss is still relatively new.

awww. hope it starts to do well soon!

its a little sad but the first 2 episodes weren't good..it has no appeal, at least not for me, and the lead is a horrible actor

this is soo not good to kjh. his acting has always been in question, so this might give another reason for antis. but sorry to say, being a fan of both itazurana kiss n iswak, i am a bit skeptical towards this drams (bof anyone?)

Funny how two of the most anticipated "idol" dramas bomb terribly in ratings. Maybe they're just slowly building an audience. Then again, I'm not not watching either one of them, just reading recaps. I don't care too much.

This probably cost A LOT less to make than Goong (elaborate set pieces and location shoots) and Tamra (ditto).

I wish eps 1-2 could have been combined, too much filler in ep 1. Wish the ratings could pick up little by little, it's cute and decently acted and directed.

I'll keep watching and enjoying the little chirps of happiness Ha Ni brings to my heart with her adorable cheerful and spritely ways.

I really think 2010 is Yoon Si Yoon's year. Finishing High Kick Through The Roof, Gosa 2, and Kim Tak Goo. The dude is on fire.

I heard the download ratings were really high though, which makes sense. This drama has more of a idol-esque feel, which means lots of interest from international korean entertainment fans. Since those fans are often fans of the idol-ness, you know.

Yoon Shi-Yoon!!! He already has 2 pretty big CF deals - one for cellphones with T-ara, and one with Jung Yong Hwa for a clothing line. Let's just say I save almost all of the photos from those shoots *swoon* Seeing a lot more of him (and Yonghwa) is fine by me!

Watched episode 2, enjoyed it.
Cannot wait for episode 3 & 4! Seems too far away!
It's moving at quite a nice pace.

To be honest, I'm not expecting anything "spectacular". (well... 'cept for the next episode to come out!)

And I can't say much for the other 2 dramas (Baker King and Gumiho), because I haven't gone around to watching them.

But, seriously... bluntly saying, there is no competition. Assuming that Baker King is pretty much at it's climax and is wrapping up--you think their % will just disappear? It's already an "established" drama. C'mon.

I have nothing much to say for Gumiho though. Has yet to catch my attention.

I heard though, that Playful Kiss is getting a very hot response ONLINE, but I'm too lazy to get that article right now.

Anyways, Playful Kiss HWAITING~~~~

Regardless, I am still curious and I will still watch it and read racaps from JB and girlfriday.

Ok, I was one of the people who criticized the first episode for its long imagination sequences (yes, plural!), poor production quality, mediocre acting, etc. But the 2nd episode is a lot better. I do think that the comparison to BOF is misplaced. It's more similar to a less extravagant version of Goong... Hopefully, it won't head in the direction of Goong S.

While my initial curiosity for this one has pretty much died, I can't belive the ratings. It's just... wow.

I think it was a bad moment to premiere, and it has nothing to do with the actual quality of the drama (3% is 0 popular interest to even care about the quality, story or whatever).

Heh, I haven't watched the PK eps yet but I will so take this as me just rambling, but...was it only me that thought Goong was painfully slow at times? Granted, it had its moments and it was cute on occasion and overall I did like it, but considering that PK comes from the same director of Goong, were you guys expecting something different? I admit at first I had no intentions of watching PK, but then the promo pics and the teasers came out and my anticipation skyrocketed. Still, I wasn't expencting it to be...sassy and fast-paced.

I watched the first episode and actually couldn't go through it -.- but hopefully, the 2nd is better. My Girlfriend is a gumiho def has a stronger storyline!

Probably the ratings had more to do with the storyline than the lead actors, the acting etc. I've watched just one episode of Baker King out of curiosity because they said the ratings are excellent (it's episode 20 btw), and I think the 2 lead actors are not the handsome, sexy, very good looking actors that usually attract us to watch a drama at the first place,also the acting is not brilliant, just so so. And yet this drama has beaten other dramas which has actors with better acting like SJS, KNG, and even the more popular LSG, in ratings. So I guess the very high ratings must be because the storyline is more compelling to Korean viewers than other dramas.

Well..i think there is a reason why it receives such low ratings. People are saying that it hits low cos it is facing KTG and Gumiho. But when Gumiho aired, KTG is already on fire and they still manage to secure at least a 10%+ and being stable despite it doesn't bloom until now. That is because the drama is good (i've watched it). If Playful kiss is really good, it might also secure itself with a minimum amount of ratings and not being so under-the-rock low.
