““Although the ratings are momentarily wavering”
Why put this here? As long as the ratings are in the double digits its NOT wavering.Plus that was only one episode.GDI stop underrating the drama.
Other than that, very good news!
“and also Park Yoochun who is leading the new Korean Wave.”
THAT’S RIGHT, BABY!!!!!!
Now let me guess… 🙂
+1 *happyhappy*
Again, MONEY TALKS, BS WALKS!
Now explain that harm to cultural exporting of the korean wave? Oh yeah, right. I thought so.
*Korean*
I guess Korea Trade Insurance Corporation knows a good business when they see one. I hope all the other entities involved in exporting the cultural assets of S. Korea will realize what a big mistake they made by letting themselves lead by the nose ….It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee, there is no more time to be wasting, especially now when the international media community and fans are watching closely what is going on with the Korean Wave/ Hallyu. I wish that people have the courage and decency to work hard and continue to export cultural assets ethically.
Yup the operative word there is “ethically.” 😉
Hahaha~~ exceptional!~ Proves once again the power of JYJ, and the power of Park Yoochun!!~ OK, although I do not deny that the line-up of the actors and actresses are in itself a strong attraction, I’d still like to think that it’s the Park Yoochun effect that took the whole popularity of the drama to greater heights~ hehehe~
