Playful Kiss ratings round two: 3.7%

I know some viewers were holding out for a marked improvement in Playful Kiss‘s numbers given its surprisingly poor start yesterday, but alas, it was not to be. Episode 2 didn’t fare much better, following Episode 1’s 3.5% rating with a 3.7%.

Competitor drama Baker King Kim Tak-gu hit yet another series high at 45%, while My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho held firm with 12%.

Most of you probably don’t care about ratings numbers, and I don’t use them to gauge a show’s quality. These days there are other ways to catch dramas, such as rebroadcasts and online, and no doubt younger audiences gravitate toward those alternative methods. Still, the ratings are important in determining ad revenues, and that, as we know, can be significant. Heck, the current union strike is happening because these companies have no money to pay their actors because they’re spending more than they’re making. There are other residual benefits as well, with high-rated hits bringing in more CF opportunities for its cast. (Expect to see a LOT of Baker King‘s Yoon Shi-yoon in the near future!)

For its own sake, I hope Playful Kiss can hang in there until Baker King wraps. True, its successor, Rain‘s Runaway, may also provide competition, but at least they’ll be on more level playing ground. And there’s always the export market.

Actually, I did not dare to watch the taiwanese version although I know that it has a good storyline simply because the lead actress irritates me, there is something in her that is irritating, probably her nose. Anyway, I was expecting that in Korean version, they will get a better lead actress but it was the same, they got an actress with facial flaw also-again her nose and lips. I though they will get Park Shin Ye but probably because of production budget the just settled with a not so known actress. I will not be suprised with the ratings because just merely looking at their still photos they both lacked charm and chemistry.

I like KHJ 's act. I think he is good in his role . I really like when he show expression through his eyes. I think he talk from his eyes a lot. As the story continue I think the viewers can see more of his charm and the chemistry between the two main casts.

I saw some parts of the Taiwanese version some months agos. I get bored and stop watching until I heard that the Korean will make the same story . So, I think it might be a good story otherwise the Korean will not repeat it. By surprise I like the Korean version a lot I think KHJ is very attractive and JSM is quite cute. The story just start to be more and more interesting I can't wait to see their relationship is improved.

Hope the rating will improve as well. I'm really surprise with the rating. I love to watch ithis drama and enjoy watching the interact among the two so much . Anticipate many more interaction of the two main casts.

I seen the first three ep nad cant wait for four.

I think they have great chemistry and are cute together. In my opinion I like PK better then ISWAK.

ISWAK I thought the acting was terrible. I watched the series and didn't bother going to the second season since I thought it was that bad. I felt like in ISWAK there was barely any chemistry. It took the guy long enough.

In PK you can see the feelings rather quickly and KHJ is really great at his role. I think he is doing a great job as well as well as JSM. I'm gald she is not as dumb as the girl in ISWAK.

ep1 was ok. I liked it though since it told you have she started living with her fathers friend family

ep2 loved it so much better then the 1st ep. So cute. Lots of chemistry and made me want to seee more.

ep3 a little better then ep2. It was cute and funny Korean Lady Gaga is a win

ep4 long perview was awsome. I loved it and I realllly want to seeee it. ^^

I say watch the drama and give it a chance. I never listen to ratings. Most of the time the show/movie is good.

This is just my opinion.

I have a different reaction on this kdrama. I must admit that I was a little disappointed with some of the main characters in episode 1 like joon - gu's looks, but, the rest of the characters, I think, were well selected and well thought for this drama and they are FAR BETTER than the Taiwanese drama, especially the 2 main characters - Ha-ni and Beak Seung-jo.

I think this kdrama deserves a higher rating than what it currently gets. Although, I must admit that the drama needs to show some details in some of its important scenes, especially the romantic ones, just like when Baek Seung-jo tries a test kiss to Ha-ni under the tree if she really does not have any feelings for him. I guess, this kind of details is what this drama is missing out. I just hope, it won't disappoint us again on not showing the details of last scene in ep. 4 were Baek Seung-jo on top of Ha-ni in his own bed, trying to threaten Ha-ni with a BIG TIME kiss. Their facial expressions and reactions are mostly anticipated for next week's episode.
