Playful Kiss scores higher ratings in re-runs

MBC’s newest drama Playful Kiss scored higher ratings in the re-runs of its first and second episodes.

The re-runs of the two episodes were broadcast on the 4th, and according to AGB Nielsen Media Research, it received ratings of 4.2% and 6.6%, higher than the original broadcast ratings of 3.5% and 3.7%.

The producers of Playful Kiss, Group Eight, stated:

It’s true that the drama’s ratings are affected by KBS 2TV’s Baker King Kim Tak Gu, that has its own ratings of 40%+. … The success will come after Kim Tak Gu ends on the 16th. … The re-runs’ ratings were higher than the ratings of the drama’s actual broadcast. On top of that, the online and overseas reaction weren’t bad as well. … It’s safe to expect the ratings to go up in the future.

Meanwhile, MBC is the only broadcaster that has yet to settle pay dispute with HanYeJo (Korean Broadcast, Movie, Performance, and Artists Labor Union) over the non-payment controversy. Consequently, it appears that MBC’s dramas, including Playful Kiss, are being affected by the feud.

So that means if there's no Baker King, MK could have scored a much higher rating like 20?! Well, meanwhile, poor HJL must be quite down-beaten with a frown and pensive mood.

MBC should settle their outstanding accounts so as not to endanger production progress. The station produces all these high budget dramas yet is such bad paymaster. The amount due looks astronomical - no wonder the union is on strike.

So sad, we can do nothing. We're not in Korea. If the overseas fans can help, it pretty sure that the ratings will in two digits.

i think there still hope for Playful Kiss after baker king drama ... coz i dont think all of baker king's audience will be solely watching Fugitive ... the audience eventually will be divided ...

always pray for high rating of playful kiss ...

enlistment.

thanks God!
as i believe from begining it grows!! Keep support of course. And have big hope that all external factors will resolve: the strike on MBC employee, restriction on streaming, overseas comment and vote opened. It will help HJ alot.

I believe that Jangkiss will do better and better each episode as KHJ appears more. One of the reasons of low rating for 1st epi is that KHJ's airtime was short. Jung So Min is a newbie and has no star power yet no matter how long she appears.

Korea's main newspaper 'Chosun Ilbo'and other newspapers and netizens approved hyun joong's acting as a 'perfect baek seung jo'. Jangkiss' rating will get much higher after a few episodes. why? Because its hero is hyun jooong who has such magical charms
and is a real STAR. All we should do is to pray hard for him and MK. KHJ and MK, fighting!
