Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) is getting more interesting, and Hyun Joong's acting skills is getting better.
But, I don't get it when the ratings is still low.. However, from some source, I read that Playful Kiss is more popular internationally as MBC online streaming is increasing for Playful Kiss. Perhaps we support this drama more than Korea citizen themselves.
Oh.. I can see that there's no chance our local tv station would air this, if it's not popular in Korea. But, there's stil hope.. =_=
However to take a peek by lifting this reality lid, Playful Kiss that began ratings of 3.5% on its first episode, and then subsequently 3.7% for #2, 3.5% for #3, 3.4% for #4, 3.3% for #5 and continuously reaches 2.8% in #6 (according to AGB Nilson Media Research) as it suffers constant 'insults'. This is the lowest of the lowest amongst all dramas broadcasted in this year so far.
The problem of Playful Kiss isn't just about the ratings. With KBS 'Baker King Kim Tak Goo' taking the highest end of ratings, Playful Kiss who started out later could possibly due it to that reason for its tough battle that its currently fighting for. Though that is the case, another battle rival coming from SBS 'My girlfriend is Gumiho' manages to record ratings around 10%-plus with its cheerful storyline as it garners the good raves of the young audience generation from and on the internet; whereas in contrast to this, Playful Kiss is receiving disregard from the same young audience generation, which is the problem.
Though criticisms targetting towards Kim HyunJoong, Jung Somin etc's acting and the too excessive fanciful manhwa-like production does not dip as usual, there is still a chance for them to be revived. The first and foremost reason would be because its strongest rival KBS 'Baker King Kim Tak Goo' has ended its final run. Of course, because the follow-up work to KBS 'Baker King' is 'Fugitive Plan B' starring top stars Rain, Lee Nayoung, Daniel Henney, it will look difficult for Playful Kiss to take the better advantage side, but still for sure there is a little chance for it to improve.
With the drama's stage moving from high school students Seung-jo and Ha-ni to undergraduates as the story begins its official full-fledge development is a good sign. Hwang In-roi PD who focuses highly on the beauty of his works is also another good sign. Positive reactions and responses towards the drama itself, drama characters, Kim HyunJoong's change in style to Hye-ra who appears in Episode 6 is also getting more feverish by the day with anticipation building up.
For the sake of putting this opportunity to maximum use, MBC will be opening its "Watch Again" service for free beginning 24th September until 2 October through its official homepage. In addition, during the Chuseok period, there will be no replacement with other programmes and will proceed to air as usual.**
