I Miss You has just started airing in Japan, but already its popularity is being compared to the Winter Sonata boom that swept the country.
A drama official recently told enews, “Reactions are so explosive that some Japanese officials have been saying I Miss You may become the next Winter Sonata.”
I Miss You is currently airing in the hallyu channel DATV, and will soon also start airing in a main channel. This is a surprising feat considering how Japan has been cutting down on Korean content on its main channels following the two countries′ political strifes.
Winter Sonata also initially aired on cable, and after gaining popularity, made it into the government-run broadcasting station NHK to cause a great boom across the country.
The official quoted a local official to have said that “if I Miss You starts airing on a main channel, it will go the way of Winter Sonata.”
“Park Yoo Chun is very popular in Japan, and Yoo Seung Ho has also been gaining popularity as the next generation hallyu star, while Yun Eun Hye is known through her role in Coffee Prince. Hallyu fans have especially been showing great interest,” the official added.
“I Miss You has even been receiving love calls from America and Europe,” the official said. “Park Yoo Chun′s popularity overseas is unimaginably great. We′re first preparing to go to America.”
I Miss You is a romance that stars Park Yoo Chun, Yun Eun Hye and Yoo Seung Ho.

and when it’s really have bigger reaction from winter sonata,Kmedia will again say “oohh!! look,hallyu wave is not die after all!! it’s revive again!! see,soon or later japanese people will come back to hallyu again!! see??”
don’t they ever learn that all of these have the same link? it’s only consist of 3. it’s not hard. it’s only J.Y.J.
and when will they acknowledge this???
when a korean singer could sing in tokyo dome for 3 days, they call it hallyu wave.
when thousands japanese flocked korea, they said becoz japanese love hallyu wave.
when Kpop group received hot calls from south america and europe,they call it hallyu wave ruled the world.
ermm..i thought the only one who succeded to do all that is JYJ? o.O
Yeah, absolutely true!! It’s all because of J, Y, and J.. The one and only JYJ..
where is the Like button on this.. I totally agree with your comments… it’s always JYJ and no others…
I totally agree. And it sucks that their own country doesn’t acknowledge them .. LIKE DUH KOREAN MEDIA, what’s wrong with you.. to think that they won the lawsuit already, better prepare your excuses for banning them.. UGH, your loss.. >_<
Comment liked!
this drama has two other big names as well, please do not credit this only to Yoochun, it’s unfair.
DELETED COMMENT
that doesn’t mean the drama was successful only because of Yoochun… it’s teamwork. You need good synergy between all actors to achieve success. It’snot like one person carries the whole thing on his shoulders… whaetever the news article writes to *create news*

because he wants to focus on jyj?2years is not enuf? there are many ppl waiting for him to return to jyj and to listen to his voice too u know…and soon he would be producing a solo album…
DELETED COMMENT
are u implying that jyj as a singing group is pulling yoochun the actor down?how can u say that?after what they have gone through together…i bet he loves singing as much as acting but there are fans out there is waiting for yoochun the singer not the actor…and his first career is a singer…so im sure he loves it very much…
Oh my how can you say that? Everything they ( JJ, Yoochun n Junsu )do is for JYj, every drama, every CF, every singles. So that us (fans) will always remember JYj.They can be great alone, but they are greatest when they are together.
Please, don’t say such a thing.. It really hurts us who love him.. He loves music as much as acting.. And just see the tokyo dome concert, he was really happy that he could stand at the stage once again as a singer n composer.. If you really love yoochun, please support him in everything he does.. All we have to do is support him, wheter as singer or actor, so he can stay strong to step ahead..
DELETED COMMENT
Tsk tsk tsk… where has your common sense gone to?
Yoochun is great as a soloist (like each JYJ member) but he’s more than great as JYJ. Think before you scribble.
Please think twice before you write something like that. What do you mean “DOWN WITH JYJ”? Do you mean JJ and Junsu are not as UP as Yoo Chun? I don’t think so… They all are MULTI-talented and Junsu earned the most among them in 2012.
We have been waiting for JYJ new albums. So, please let him concentrate on music. JJ said Yoo Chun is the best composer among them. Our duty is to wait whenever he releases solo or group albums as JYJ.
What do you mean by drown? Us fans have no right to dictate his every move. If he doesn’t want to be with JYj he will already leave them at the beginning of tv5xq split. I am a chun bias, but I think Junsu and Jae are also very talented person, so please don’t underestimate them, because all JYj members is special in their own way
“stuck and drown with JYJ”?! WHAT!!!!
that’s not what a fan of YC should be saying.. at least in our fandom here: JYJ3… all of us here have our own bias too.. but we are also very happy to see the 3 brothers together, playing, fooling around, trolling each other, singing and dancing together!!! didn’t you see how happy YC was during the 3-day TD concert? he was happy to be able to sing to his beloved fans in such a huge venue TOGETHER with his 2 brothers after a very long time!!! he himself said that he wanted to work as JYJ forever, as long as they could.. dun u understand? they are not doing solo activities for their own sake, they did it for JYJ, they endure all the hardship, swallow all the tears for the sake of JYJ so that many people will know JYJ thru each individual… each of them are willing to make sacrifices so that they are able to concentrate on JYJ activities… no matter how hard it was, they will want to continue as JYJ.. if not, why will they want to form JYJ after leaving their previous company? without JYJ, i dun think you will get a chance to see YC acting in a drama…
do u think that YC is the kind of person who will do what he was told even if he doesn’t like it? NO!! no one in JYJ is this type of person, if they are, they will not leave their previous company in order to pursue their freedom… FOR NOW, they do what they want, do what they like.. we just have to support their decision.. that’s all..
Sorry to say.. but with this kind of mindset, you might not be suitable in JYJ3, which is a site to support all 3 of them…
I agree with you, I know YC likes singing & I have never denied JYJ’s influence since I am a JYJer too but the success of RP is because of YC’s hardwork, is all by his own effort as JJ & JS are not involved in this drama, except one of the ost is sang by JS, it doesnt make sense that the credit goes to JYJ.
Yoochun is a musician at heart. His life passion is compossing music. It just happen that he is also good in acting. Yoochun long to sing again for years. He was crying before thousands of fans in Tokyo Dome. He was so touched and happy. Who are you to deny him his passion and happiness?
For Yuchun to focus on his singing career, he shows his loyal character to JYJ. This deserves compliment that Yuchun didn’t turn his back on Jaejoong and Junsu and that Yuchun doesn’t seek fame.

@ kiko
And a true fan would be there even if the artist falls down and no matter how bad the situation gets,
a true fan will always defend their artists with facts and emotions!!!!!
Kiko dear… You are not a true fan… A true fan stands by the person/artist he or she is rooting for…
And who says that YC is not gonna do drama or movie this year. He has done 2-3 projects at once before (album/concerts duirng SKKS; concerts and Miss Ripley; Album/World Tour during Rooftop Prince; JYJ official duties + IMY)…Or maybe you didnt know that?
And you know also that Jaejoong and Junsu are very talented as well and they are also putting their dramas and musical or whatever else on hold as well (except JJ is finishing up his Asian tour)…So, all three have to bear certain sacrifices and all for the better in the long run…
So please be a better fan. Yoochun deserves that.
DELETED COMMENT
If you have your own resources for info then that’s awesome…
If YC doesnt want to do any dramas or movies this year to concentrate on JYJ album and his album then that’s great too.
And I would respect HIS decision. He has said before that he looks forward to acting after age 30 (probably after military) as well (better roles)…
It is also smart to do ‘JYJ’ stuff now because they are getting older (regretful what happened to them the last few years)…
And I don’t think Jaejoong and Junsu are holding their friend down. If you think that, then you are insulting Yoochun’s intelligence and mindset. Junsu hasn’t done a musical this year (so far) neither and he just won Best Actor last year. Are JJ and YC holding Junsu’s future down?
Crazy immature statement you made in here on a JYJ3 site…
Peace;)
@kiko
Maybe you were too busy pining for Chunnie’s acting to see him CRYING WITH HAPPINESS at Tokyo Dome SINGING with his TWO BROTHERS???
@kiko
As with all things, you have a right to your opinion. But let me throw this at you.
YC has been connected to JJ and JS for OVER 10 years. They know each other like the palms of their hands. Yoochun has said himself, “In the end it is JYJ.” What part of this don’t you get?
The solo careers were deemed necessary because of the banning situation in SK. Yes, YC is a natural actor and reaping the rewards of his talent. As he so richly deserves. But the man did not invest in buying a recording studio to sit by and watch it collect dust. He does not have an in-home studio just for decorating purposes. What part of this also, do you not get?
Do you ever watch any of the videos or look at any of the photos of the guys on their endorsement shoots? Don’t you see the warmth, affection, and camaraderie? I doubt seriously if YC wants to toss this out of his life.
Here’s a suggestion for you. The next time you’re in his vicinity, why don’t you ask him how he feels about being a part of JYJ. Better yet, since the chances of that happening are questionable, go back and read through his interviews and see what YC has to say about being a part of JYJ and how he feels about the other members.
You might find yourself reading some comments that don’t jive with yours.
PEACE
Yes, Yoochun can focus on acting, I believe he has a lot of offers. Junsu can focus on his music, concerts and musicals, he can dance with all his might and play soccer afterwards and Jaejoong can have all the time to try every thing he wants, from music to cooking and making bags or have a solo career in Japan. BUT each of them wants to work as JYJ, YC is one man that you can never dictate or he’ll say “back off, no more talk” . If he doesn’t want to do it, he doesn’t do it. He even closed his twitter account even if some fans were crying about it. If he wants to sing but you want him to act, then you better separate ways for a while, don’t blame JYJ or anyone else. If you label his move as “stupid”, then you have a very low regard to Park Yoochun, you never know him at all, maybe you just know him as Lee Gak or HJW.
tsk tsk tsk..no! If you watched what Yoochun said in TD concert, you will know how much his members mean to him. He even said he want to work with JYJ forever.
I just want to say stop being a selfish fan, Yoochun is happy with JYJ and we need to support his decisions. I knew Yoochun and JYJ because his drama too, but I loves his activity as JYJ too.

@kiko
i dun think u get what i’m saying… i did not say that YC getting successful in drama is all JYJ credit.. they are all successful in their own areas based on their own hardwork.. but if they did not leave their company and formed JYJ, there will be no restriction on their group activities, if there are no restrictions, they will not venture into different areas and become so successful… that’s what i mean..
i agree that there are many new fans who like YC after watching his dramas and in turn came to know about JYJ.. there are also a lot of new fans who came to know about JYJ after learning about JJ & JS solo activities.. that’s their motive.. and they achieved it.. they did say before that they went into drama and musical is all because they wanted more people to know about JYJ and not to let their fans forgot about them during the period when they cannot appear on public broadcast.. so please dun put ur words into my mouth..
I know you likes Yoochun, I do. But bashing his members like that it’s unforgivable. If you likes Yoochun and IF you are really his fans, you will learn to respect his decision. He knew the business better than all of us here, he even managed to still highly popular even with all shit things happening in Korea. He know what he is dong, who are you to saying that is a stupid move? Are u fans of him or fans of his character in drama? Stop being greedy and selfish fan.
Good response, Dazzlingmama.

i know this is out of no where but i really hoped jyj would be invited to kohaku uta gassen someday…they deserve it…hurry up and release ur japanese album jyj >.<
AGREED!!
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
Ok you want a boom pull it up on HULU for Korean Drama for make it the number 1 requested show word of mouth this thing will spread like a wild fire he is that good.
I Miss You’s trailer has just been shown here in the Philippines.. it’ll start airing on April 22 under ABS-CBN.. 🙂
Excited with this one! ABS-CBN really loves Park Yoochun! His two dramas were shown consecutively. And now after weeks of suffering from Rooftop Prince withdrawal, they’re gonna air I Miss You! So fast, Kapamilya! I’m a proud fan! Kakatuwa! 🙂
looking forward to be aired in ABS CBN…a recommendable KDRAMA ever. watched already in drama crazy net but still longing to be sub in tagalog. Yuchun is a well respected actor himself for showing great performances for his respective drama maid… not only a good singer but a good actor as well…round applause for the prince of asia kdrama.
oh yeah! proud of you Yoochun!!
and in 2013 JYJ fever will spread all over Japan. history is on the making, guys! in the end it is JYJ.
daebak!
I really REALLY LOVE how JYJ is making their name big. Each of them has individuality! JUNSU – admirable musical star! YOOCHUN – excellent actor! JAEJOONG – notable rockstar/director/composer/designer (lo so many XD)
I miss you is an excellent drama all around so I know this is the beginning of it’s great success! Chunnie did an amazing job, his Jung Woo will be remembered for a long time because he gave this character an unique twist! Jung Woo is ruthless and relentless when he has to be but he also loves his family, his endless love for his woman and her mom is what’s makes him special. Also, Seung Ho gave an extraordinary Harry, a bad guy you can’t ever hate and Eun Hye gaves an awesome Eung Soo, a girl who’s past almost destroyed her but she survive and loves again. The cast of I miss you is awesome, the story is amazing, the director did a great job so it must be succesful! 😀
I kind of can’t believe that this is the drama that is the big hit. I initially thought he made a wrong choice when the drama opened and it was so very dark. But Han Jung Woo displays Yoochun’s depth and charm so well and is so well made that I became a fan myself. But then, I am completely unable to be unbiased and love every breath he takes. Really happy to see others agree.
If anyone hears details of it airing in America, please make big news about it. I don’t want to miss it on my TV.
On the other hand, all these new dramas has ignited my cravings for a PYC drama. I hope he comes back to the screen with another drama this year.
Yoochun is good with whatever he does because he does things with passion and interests. I love and enjoy his works with my whole heart. I respect his decisions because only him knows what he loves doing what is important to him. However, I’m a little happier since he choses JYJ and singing over acting. I really appreciate his voice; it’s so deep, warm and sexy. My heart always flutters when I hear him sing but it doesn’t always have that feeling with his acting. That is just my two cents opinion which is not important at all here since every single fans has different opinions and interests. I just wish that JYJ, especially my bias Yoochun, health and happiness and they can get to do what they enjoy doing.
@kiko, no solo activities, really? Gosh! YC where is your solo as you have promised us & how about FM? I believe there will be a drama in the second half, is still on the way……Sigh! I have been watching 5 times IMY!
DELETED COMMENT
Why are you spreading rumors? Are you directly working with Yoochun? do you have an official source?, then give us the link.
If you only like Yoochun as an actor and hate him to be in JYJ, then JYJ3 is not a place for you, look for another site exclusively for Yoochun the actor only. Stop spreading rumors in JYJ3.
@kiko. As lots have explicitly expressed here, you do not really know YC to express such blatant thoughts!
How can you claim yourself a true fan and knowingly hurt him with your remarks?
On the implied priviledged info of his activities, like everything else plans could change along the way, nothing is absolutely set in stone….
DELETED COMMENT
Lets not fight with one another, but support JYJ as a whole. The purpose of JYJ3 is to support ALL THREE MEMBERS. If you like one member and dislike the other members, I am sure you can find some other fan website that supports your biased member.
Remember, our adversary is the blacklisting and unfair treatment against Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. The adversary is not among the fans.
