well… empress qi had like 50 eps to build the rating x _x’
you can’t expect the pilot ep to follow that kind of rating XD
yeah, but Empress Ki started high from the very first episode. It is i guess as the article says, we are on holiday and it is true there are a lot of people out during holiday. I went out yesterday and it was pretty busy outside
Considering a big name for drama viewers like Ha Ji Won but started low also
1st episode Tnms 10.1% (13th) 12.3% (8th) AGB 11.1% (9th) 13.3% (4th)
but ended up as high as 33.9 TNmS-Seoul

Almost all shows has low ratings these days, even variety, mainly due to the mourning for Sewol. Let’s be patient, the raating will build up soon 😀
The fact that it’s leading from the first episode is already a good sign, and judging from the comments the reaction seems to be mainly positive. Looking forward to the second episode!
WOW, this is very challenging, all the three are very strong contenders
LSJ in Dr. Stranger is a HOT item from the drama viewers after the huge success of I Hear Your Voice (average viewers rating of 20%) and his leading lady is used to be in big dramas, I saw her in Bridal Mask, Five Fingers and Inspiring Generation ( but I wasn’t awed with her acting) while in Triangle, Jaejoong and Siwan are just known to be 2nd leads in their past dramas and LBS latest drama Prime Minister n I suffered a poor average viewers rating of 6%, while Big Man has established name actors. Hope Triangle’s plot will get more exciting episode after episode….23 episodes more to come Fighting!
u r right kris. triangle indeed has strong contenders. i hvnt watch LSJ yet but started KJH’s Big Man and find it quite interesting drama. so we must support jj’s triangle more!
@jaejyj
u mean Lee Jong Suk (Dr. Stranger), the lead of I Hear Your Voice, my fave drama in 2013 together with That Winter The Wind Blows. i find that young man good, with natural spontaneous acting. ofc, i’ll watch his drama too but for Jae’s sake, wish the contenders defeat over Triangle, this drama better be good (i mean the story ,Jae is too good, lol) as it is his last before enlisting, yes, fighting>>Triangle!! 🙂
@kris
wow, i’m always amazed how you are well-verse with ratings, info, rankings, sales, etc (just rely on you, lol!) 😀 never saw BM, don’t like the lead actors, days ago just to follow up Ji ChangWook (emperor in EK), i watch 5 epi of Five Fingers but it’s rather long w/ 39 episodes, & IG well i’m a minority being not fond of KHJ (mian KJJ to ur BFF) hehehe!! though not fond also of female lead in Big Man but watching episode 2 pick my interest as it is progressing not the way i guess and KJW is really a good one 🙂 my big wish is for Triangle to sustain a good plot, script & story line, in fact any genre is alright with me but i’m after a touching story that will leave deep impression & memory that’s why i watch with sub. sis, the more i have strong control if it’s Jae, i want to appreciate his substance & delivery, & to justify the goodness of his risks & effort doing all those scenes (including stripping-if he goes beyond the normal 🙂 like those seasoned actors/actresses have done. it’s never late to watch and re-watch, right? a DVD is a must-buy!
this drama is gonna be HIT!!
the plot, the actors, the story will capture so many heart soonnnn 🙂
Hopefully the drama Triangle rating climbed steadily each episode…Jae n Triangle Fighting…^^
well if all 3 dramas had low ratings then something must be up
I absolutely loved seeing jaejoong’s return to the small screen. He really seems immersed in this role, and the episode 2 cuts do nothing to dissuade me of that opinion. The only negative thing I’ll say was that the pilot wasn’t really engaging compared to Doctor Stranger. Switching between 3 POVs in the storyline, triangle felt out of place and disjointed at times, and I’m still not very clear on what the plot is.
Whereas compared to Doctor Stranger, which started off with an emotional bang, the conflict is pretty straight forward and has a very strong direction to go in. I’m still watching both, but I caution optimism against expecting triangle to keep its lead agains the LJS effect.
