I dislike very much Ghost Drama's poster huh...
Hopefully, Bridal Mask will win <3!
meanwhile shit like moon/sun and secret garden and bof with the weak writing and problematic treatment of women get national drama ratings. was korea butthurt that ha jiwon was actually kicking butt in k2h instead of crying every episode like in tsg?
Facepalm forever at how popular BOF was at its peak. I loved it for the crack that it was but I can't even bring myself to watch it again.

each of them have the no1 spot which i think is good in term of healthy competition.
for me i enjoy each drama and they all equally good and they all deserve good rating..
for me there is no real loser or winner with K2H, Rooftop and Equator Man because all is excellent production it just they have the bad timing to go against each other rather than against weaker plot drama :P
i usually dislike when only 1 drama is the clear winner from beginning and other drama don't even have a chance to compete..
After seeing the pairing of LSG/HJW, I wouldn't mind seeing them in a drama again. I still love my Han Hyo Joo and LSG pairing from Shining Inheritance. I couldn't finish MGIG because of Shin Min-ah, the whole drama had me disappointed throughout.
NEED MORE LSG/HJW! Better yet, what is the next drama Jo Jung Suk is in? I will watch it because he's now on my radar after k2h.

idk i guess it was one strike in my "treatment of women in korean dramas" meter which is relatively little compared to, say, what i gave to moon/sun (aka they struck out smh).
it certainly made watching the ratings every week a whole lot more meaningful to see who made it to the top.
i do, i do sounds cute, i'll probably watch it too. plus, it has sunah & jangwoo, those qts :3

I love Kim Sun Ah, but I still on edge about Jang Woo..
And I don't like So Ji Sub works and I don't like Lee Yeon Hee (East of Eden is a mess)
Watching Padam Padam @ epdrama was a mission last month.
and to think I used to hate that aspect of Viki -_-
But viki has always allowed ppl to disable the comments up top, i just never had the heart to do it, since some comments were actually insightful/funny
I hate watching the same ads 400X times, i hate some of the commentors and omg i just hate ads period but i love the fast subbing and that the video isn't broken down to a gazillion parts. Some of the comments are funnier than the drama sometimes too.
I just wish they would get more rights to other dramas =[
Bridal Mask sounds intriguing. Like Iljimae but with a more modern time period. I could totally get into that.
