[News] Over Fan send many presents to KimHyunJoong
Credit: sports.chosun.com/news/+ Ode.blogspot
Kim Hyunjoong is now urging against Bae Yongjun’s power with the invasion of presents bought by his (HJ) oversea fans. Kim Hyunjoong who has moved to Bae Yongjun’s agency Keyeast recently (?) is now developing his actor activities, whilst his oversea fans have also sent their presents to the agency located in Seoul, Samsung-dong.
Before Kim Hyunjoong’s recruitment, if most of the presents delivered to Keyeast were for Bae Yongjun, then in these two~three recent weeks, Bae Yongjun’s ranking is totally lowered. And because of that, Keyeast agency personnel are at a loss for words, because the amount of presents coming in for Kim Hyunjoong will be alot more than Bae Yongjun in future days to come. An agency personnel says, “In the past, the ratio for Bae Yongjun & other actors’ amount of presents was 9:1, but now, to put Kim Hyunjoong alongside other actors, the ratio becomes like 9:1, too. But it does not mean no presents are coming in for Bae Yongjun or other actors, it’s just that most of them are for Kim HyunJoong”, explaining.
In actual fact, Kim Hyunjoong’s popularity could also be vividly reflected in his MBC Wed Thurs drama Playful Kiss. Though it has poor 3~4% ratings as compared to KBS2 “Baker king Kim Tak goo” & SBS “My girlfriend is a Gumiho”, its rankings for “Review” (Watch Again) is No.1. Amongst the many MBC mini-series, thanks to the support of oversea fans, it arises as the Number 1 in ranking. By comparing the amount of commercials slotted before the episode begins and against the drama’s poor ratings, with an almost completely-defeated standard, the power of Kim HyunJoong seems to show itself solidly. A related agency personnel mentioned, “It’s the truth that we see how damaging the composition of drama was to the drama ratings itself, however with the rerun ratings being two times higher than the original telecast at about 6%, as well as climbing onto No.1 for its Watch Again ranking amongst all MBC dramas, with also the fact that acting isn’t all that criticized for this time round, we seem to be seeing a successful reap behind the hardwork of Kim Hyunjoong’s”.
On the other hand, Kim Hyunjoong’s oversea fans have caused buzz with their donation of 3 large tonnes of rice and heavier during the last Playful Kiss press conference, instead of sending flower bouquets.

[Article] Mischievous Kiss rerun conflict
Credit: unionpress.co.kr + Ode.blogspot
Audiences of MBC Wed Thurs drama Playful Kiss is now getting mad. Originally, Jangki’s rebroadcast was on Saturdays at 1.55 PM, but now it’s been changed to Gloria who will take over.
Jangki’s original re-broadcast timing slot is on Saturdays at 1.55 PM until 3.55 PM, a total of 2 episodes will be shown continuously. However, this upcoming 18th, during the same timing slot, MBC weekend drama GLORIA will be taking over its telecast slot.
left: Jangki, 11th Sep
Right: Gloria, 18th Sep
Well then, is changing to Gloria the right thing to do. However, Gloria is a drama aired during MBC official broadcasting times that did not get to be re-broadcasted. Every saturday is the rebroadcast of Jangki, while Sunday is for the rebroadcast of MBC’s special 49-year special Dongi. Because of that, it seems that Jangki will have a very low possibility to be re-broadcasted in other time slots.
Seeing this kind of secret arrangement, it looks like Jangki’s rebroadcast totally separates itself from the original broadcast. If that’s the case, why does MBC have to suddenly exclude itself from the rebroadcast schedule then.
It’s because they take into consideration the ratings. Last 9th (Thursday), Jangki recorded ratings of 3.2% (according to TNmS), while Gloria recorded 9.4% of ratings with its broadcasts on 5th (Sunday). With this, MBC see that it’s hard for Jangki’s “revival” whereas Gloria is able to climb up higher with its ratings, and probably the reason why it decided to replace with drama Gloria. With weekend drama Gloria now arranged for re-broadcast over the weekends, it seem like its ratings will go higher than its original telecast once more.
Another possibility is because of the conflict between Jangki’s production company Group Eight and MBC. MBC has been showing much lazed attitude towards promotion of Jangki, and it’s a fact. Drama Jangki could not grab hold of chances to appear in variety programmes to promo for its drama, which is where Jangki is different from other works. Though we also cannot dismiss the fact that the shooting schedule is so tight, but with them already letting loose of chances to do promotion for its drama and now, excluding itself from rebroadcasts, it is seriously quite uncomprehensible.
In this kind of situation, it is said that conflict between Group Eight and MBC is getting fiercer by the day. Just as if that reflected the confirmed results, MBC is unable to show understanding nor allowance towards Group Eight who now excludes itself from rebroadcasts.
Especially where KBS drama Baker king Kim Tak goo –with ratings as high as 48%– will be soon taking a close to its drama, MBC who plays the hat game in hope of looking for chances from its drama ratings, the atttitude is seriously uncomprehensible.
If so, does the ratings reflect the interest of audiences, and is it the one and only mode of measurement. Daily searched keywords of portal site ‘Naver’ shows that, as at 11 Sep morning (now), MBC drama Jangki holds the 3rd position of most searched drama keyword for the day, farly surpassing Gloria in the 31st position. It also marks itself at the Number 1 position on MBC’s “Review” programme rankings. To this extend, we could see that audiences’ concern towards Jangki is high.
With MBC now excluding Jangki who records single-digit ratings from its rerun, demand of the audiences going against MBC’s attitude with ‘Jangki is Dying’ (?) does not end there.
“What is happening! Not doing rerun already?’, ‘If ratings for rebroadcast is 8%, won’t it come out superbly well? Gloria? How much will that drama’s ratings come out to be?”, “Because Jangki is Number 1 for its Review ratings, won’t that already rake in money? It was already worrying with the programme’s promotions”, “Though I’m no anti yet, but there is no rerun next week, I seriously am at a loss for words”, showing all the various comments left on Jangki’s noticeboard as it climbs onto MBC realtime BEST Number 1 position, reflecting all dissatisfaction of audiences.
MBC who does not seem to have taken into consideration comments and suggestions of audiences replied, “According to the broadcast station schedule may change”, after which changing statement, “According to the ratings schedule may change”.
In the situation where rerun schedule for MBC on 25th (Saturday) isn’t released as yet, Jangki is receiving high curiosity to whether or not it will go on rerun status again just as what audiences wish for.
Playful Kiss airs every Wed, Thurs at 9.55 pm through MBC.
