Nowadays, if there's no gimmick, there's no audience.

Sad, but true.

Can't wait for 49 Days, potentially full of gimmicks, but with eye candy that includes Bae Soo Bin and Jung Il Woo. That's enough for me. ^^

YEY for Sign!
I went to wet my toes and went crazy and finished up til ep 15 within a day! It's gripping and I love all the cast!

I love Signs. After it's over, I'm more inclined to watch 49 Days than these 2.

Actually you do not need gimmicks. You need a good plot and solid acting from a well chosen cast. Signs is that. I love how they explain all those forensic science stuff in the dialogue without a pause. I admit I was a little put off by the male lead at the beginning with his shouting and stiff expression, but he got better. Also there is not too much emphasis on the mushy romantic stuff, which often wreck a drama .

Yeah sorry to say but for my wed/thursdays i'm going to watch 49 days. i'm not really in a weeping drama type right now.

All I read was 49 DAYS IS COMING.

(Jo Hyun-jae, Bae Soo-bin, and Jung Il-woo? I am THERE.)

Totally right beside you there.

Huh...maybe Sign will be my new crack?
or just wait until 49 Days?
Haha. You're right. I am sooo there.

Thanks!

SIGN IS SO GOOOOOOD

someone needs to recap it..and share it with everyone on dramabeans...

Hey! I am also shallow and proud of it.

Honestly, I don't mind chaebol-makjang type dramas. Only when done right, that is. There has to be a good plot or a good hook and not simply crazy, crazy, and only dramatic craziness.

It's liking binging on ice-cream. Except it better taste good so I won't feel sick til after I'm done. With poor makjang dramas, I feel sick at the first bite.

But lately, spring has made me in a cheerful mood. I feel like staying up late, with the window open, laptop on the bed, and watch something fun. I happily welcome 49 Days.

thanks JB

49 days ? ... we will be dissapointed too !!

Midas is not that bad either. I actually found it interesting and very much Bad Guy + Dirty Sexy Money recipe

TQ javabeans.

T winkle ! T winkle ! is entertaining ,

with good ratings too for a very light drama !!

Of course waiting for 49 Days coz these days i don't see my husband at home anymore. he's out working all day and night.... sigh

Is Sign really good? I have been let down alot lately. So I havent even tried to watch it.

poster for Royal Family looks creepy

I didn't expect Thorn Bird to be a hit but 5.9% is awfully low. Even though I like Han Hye Jin but it is too much melow for me to handle.

Ah.... 49 DAYS !!
twoo weeks ahed .. Wohoooo !!!
SIGN rocks we-thurs drama, and 49 DAYS will be another ROCKZZ !!!!!!!!!

Aj AJaaaaaaaa Fighting!

i also didn't think Thorn Birds can be that low, i though it could be two digits at least more then 10 %.

49 DAYS? Ahaa, agree with you JB, we are happy welcoming the drama.
last night the 3rd teaser has come, and it makes me feel really good !!

it's fun, catchy, unique plot, and Awesome Pretty cast..!!
not only pretty but they have good acting...

WELCOME 49 DAYS !!!!

Royal Family 7% isnt too bad for nowadays premiere. But completely wrecked on Thorn Birds case. 5,9%? ok good luck compete with Playfull Kiss, you, for the lowest rating. And I tell ya after I glimpsed both drama, RF deserved a bit higher, it got potential for you who likes that kind of plot, but TB deserves its low rating. Completely mess and horrible, even worse than I initially thought.

I am also not in a weeping mode these days so looking forward to 49 Days.

I'm relieved. Does this mean I can enjoy Joo Sang Wook by myself? JACKPOT!! 5.9% ratings ftw.

A lot of series started low and pick up from thr...and a lot of series started high and went downhill from thr...it's early days yet, who's to know...

BUT, I'll choose 49 days anyday...lol...the cast and fantasy plot ...totally right up my alley.

While, I'm REALLY NOT one for the weepies. I'm gonna stick it out and see how Thorn Birds fares cause I fell in love with Joo Sang Wook fast and hard. Noticed him on Paradise Ranch, went on to check out Giant (cause of him) and nearly died at how well he played the roll. If he could make Giant's makjang tendencies tolerable, maybe he can do the same with Thorn Birds, right?

On a separate note, have we hit a rom-com dry spell? Nothing else on other than 49 days and the cardboardy Paradise Ranch?

What about Midas? I do hardly see any review of the drama.
And yes I am looking forward to the upcoming 49 days becoz I love Lee Yo Won

a lot of decent dramas this year,but it's march already and not even one TRUE masterpiece till now? Looks like this year is definitely not as good as 2010. Hmmm i really hope '49 days' will be the first masterpiece of the year.

Kim Min Jung is obviously playing a doomed a character in Thorn birds. I still can't get over how sad and pitiful her character was in Fashion 70s and given a similar plot in Thorn Birds, I know I'll be soaking up in tears again, with a part of me feeling sorry for her while the other part of me cursing her ruthlessly.

I watching ep.1 Royal Family and Thorn Birds.
Royal Family is very interesting! Love it! Ji Sung so cute!
OST so good too!!!

Thorn Birds... I didn't like it.

Midas so good, but Royal Family MUCH better!

That back hug looks hot. What? You didn't noticed?
Oppa FTW!!

I saw the first five minutes from Royal Family and it was ok, I want to watch it so i am waiting for the subs.

What about President? I thought it was going to be 24eps? It doesn't matter since it's only been subbed up until ep 14. I am really enjoying this drama more than I expected. I wish you guys would say something about it. or maybe you did and I missed it :)

I will watch 49 for the eye candies (while I wait for Jin 2). Korean dramas are getting stale.

Royal Family is REALLY good:) I reccomend to anyone who saw Ji-Sungs talent go wasted in Kim Su-ro! Really fun:) so far!

I love Thorn Birds!
Beautiful and wonderful casts! I adore Joo Sang Wook and Good Luck to JSW and ThornBird.
Joo Sang Wook and Thorn Bird Fighting!!! you can DO It!

I MEAN THAT Thorn Birds IT COULD BE A EXCELLENT DRAMA
BOTH ACTRESSES ARE REALY CUTE
THE CHARMY HAN HYE JIN AND THE THE GOOD ACRESS TOO Kim Min Jung

HURRA HURRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can not handle the plastic nose.I am out.

Since I'm not into Kleenex soaked shows, I wasn't interested in either of these shows after hearing about their intensity (thank you for the warnings, Javabeans!). However, 49 Days sounds right up my alley. Slightly quirky with a premise that promises some laughter and some sighs. Yeah, I'm with the rest of you: the eye candy is definitely a plus, too. I'm really looking forward to this one.

HHJ is one of my favs...will get through the tears to see how her character gets out of the sadness...she is so beautiful...and am curious to know what child they're talking about...

WHY NOT POST A recap on thorn birds it is an excellent drama.

please post a recap on episode 18 for this drama. THANKS!
