MBC considers ending Me Too, Flower’s run early

Rumors are swirling that MBC’s Me Too, Flower is headed for an early end, cutting down its episodes from an intended 16 to 15 instead.

The reason cited is the end-of-the-year MBC Broadcast Entertainers Awards, which is set for December 29. That’s the Thursday initially set for Me Too, Flower’s finale, so the initial plan had been to allow a double-header on Wednesday the 28th, when MBC would air 15 and 16 back-to-back. However, MBC has now stated that they won’t be opting for that plan.

If the drama loses an episode, the move is likely prompted by its low ratings. Up against the well-received and popular Tree With Deep Roots (20%+ ratings) as well as Man of Honor (low- to mid-teens), Me Too, Flower has been averaging ratings in the 5% to 6% range.

Those ratings wouldn’t have been enough to cut short the drama with no other reason, but its seems they’re low enough to make the broadcaster reluctant to work around an awkward schedule, preferring to just cut down the drama instead. Especially after they’d had to give Me Too, Flower a postponed premiere when its production fell behind schedule and lost its hero at the last minute.

It’s too bad for the drama, which I’ve been enjoying for its quirky characters and solid chemistry. On the other hand, I can see how MBC wouldn’t feel compelled to extend it by an episode to work around their awards season, and would rather get past it with a minimum of fuss on its part. After all, the drama to follow — fusion sageuk romance The Moon Embracing the Sun with Kim Soo-hyun and Jung Il-woo — offers MBC a chance to jump back into the game, starting off the new year with a fresh slate.

At least it’s only one episode, and if the cutback is indeed confirmed, the writer and producers will have a few weeks to prepare the finale accordingly. You know, to see the glass half full and lined with silver.

TwDR is a good drama. Awesomely intense. It is a diff genre compared with Me Too, Flower. So, the comparison is not really justifiable on this account. Both dramas offer diff kind of satisfaction to the viewers. But to be honest, I was drawn to TwDR cause of Song Joong Ki. And boy, I glad I did :) *sorry, I know this is an irrelevant post*

If they need to have the MBC show on Thursday, then I'll really prefer if they show episode 15-16 back to back. Let the drama airs according to the writer's pacing and plan. I don't enjoy all parts of M2F, have been fast forwarding all the Dal and Hwa Young's scenes. But I really appreciate the solid writing from the writer so far.

People have been singing praises of YSY's acting and the solid chemistry in the drama. But M2F has turn me into a fan of the writer as well. It's so refreshing that for once we get a drama which has solid characterization and realistic conflict. I love the characters she created, mainly JH and BS and I root for them to find their own happiness.

I feel really sad that the writer, cast and crews' hard work has been rewarded with a cut. To the station, perhaps they don't want to bother with a show that has poor ratings. But there are many who really love this show as well and we'll really appreciate viewing the drama in its entirety.

agreed flower boy more than ok but it doesn't have the meaty story line that this one has, and that makes both as equally as good for me. Didn't Lie to Me have single number viewer rating too, and no one ever seriously suggested that be cut, maybe it that the leads here are not such big names?
Either way it gives off a feels of disrespect to the viewers for myself and i can not see it doing the company public image any good as they keep doing it over and over again.

Agree,
If i was an actor and if i didn't need to work to pay my bills and eat, i think i would politely reject an offer of MBC for their next drama.... It's just sad.

I actually quite like thsi drama and thsi is after reading all the recaps then watching the exact same episodes in subs. And I still found it interesting whereas I did the same for flower boy ramyun shop... but when I watched the actualy episodes I felt compelled to just fast forward and skip bits or not bother to watch it at all (its funny, but ... i think I just love the characters of M2F more). I am ready to hop onto Yoon Shi Yoon's next drama. He is an amazing actor. What is not to love about him? I know he is supposed to be older, but I've just grown to love his character that I see past the baby face and I see the actor :D

crying :'''( so upset with the prospect of 1 episode getting cut MBC really missed this one..this is like the diamond in the rough that they missed cuz it totally shines brightly cuz of the awesome writing & ysy and lj protraying their characters with such heart and totally immersing themselves in their character! Man of Honor looks lame & i'm so done w/ the melo family & revenge plots come on kdrams come up with fresh plots and storylines. Take a good look @m2f they had a theme two ppl hurting & going through life & w/a few circumstances finding their way to one another and creating a real and beautiful love full of hurt,forgiveness, and coming full circle finding out that life would hurt more without each other so they take a chance on love & healing all their hurts through their precious and real love. That to me is worth watching unfold than watching family revenge plots, secret births, etc. Thank u ysy & lj 4 making the charac.come alive & real 4 me ( :

Me Too Flower is underrated, it's better than several dramas which are also airing now. It makes me sad that most of the time TV station only cares about ratings. But at the same time I get why they decide to cut it short. I will cherish every moment of remaining times I have with MTF and kiss the quirky and fabulous couple Jaehee-Bongsun goodbye with approval and satisfaction smile.

JEEZ ~~~ o___O

IMPOSSIBLE.....There's NO way that MBC decide that this drama is cutting these episodes.....MBC.....you....(pauses)....you all are soooo ridiculous and NO feelings to others WHO really love this drama, that's sad. Tsk. I really enjoy watching this drama because Yoon Shi Yoon and Lee Ji Ah have a wonderful chemistry together, of course. You shouldn't do that to this drama, oh goodness.

That's ILLEGAL because you all decide to cut these episodes ~~ ! ! ! !

(inhales & exhales) How concerned. You're such as BAAKKAAA, naughty, jeerrkkkies MBC..... >=/

(pauses & staring) OH.......MY.......GOSH. O_O GET OUT.

Okay, Yoon Shi Yoon, you're doing so wonderful job at acting with Lee Ji Ah in this drama & I really LOOVE this drama. Remember....IF MBC would offer you for next drama project, you'd better reject this MBC drama. You will try another drama with other TV channels like SBS and others. ;) :) Hwaiting, Yoon Shi Yoon ~ _<

this is my favorite right now--even more than Flower Boy Ramyun Shop (no haters, please). The chemistry and YSY's acting--WOWZA! Needless to say, I'm VERY disappointed and saddened that a dose of crack has been taken from me.

Haven't started Tree with Deep Roots yet (kinda need to be in the mood for saguks) and Man of Honor is . . . a revenge melo that's starting to be a downer. Maybe it's because I had no expectations for MTF, but I'm so loving it . . . maybe I should change my name to romcomjunkie?

How disappointing. The writing is superb, the acting gets me emotional and the chemistry between the leads is solid. I mean compared to the acclaimed "Flower Boys Ramyun Shop" that also airing right now (which don't get me wrong, I looove) this drama has so much more substance and raw emotion. The whole flower boys concept is so overdone and cliche, but I guess its what pulls in the teenage girls to watch every night is what matters. Siiiigh, I just wish this drama wasn't so underrated.

AWWW!!!! I love this series!!!! I look forward to it every week!!! Geez!!! The couple in there is funny and the storyline gets to me!! I love that each character has a background that makes you feel bad for them even if some of them are being very mean at the moment. I wish I did not read about this! This makes me sad!

Nooooo! I hope it doesn't happen as I really enjoy this drama. I've fallen in love with Jae Hee and the actor who plays him!! His acting is impressive and made me totally ignore the age difference between the leads.

I will miss this show when it's over and I want to delay the finish for as long as possible.
