[Article] Might be a tough road ahead for Mischievous Kiss

It was really disappointing seeing the rating last night but it will definitely not stop me from watching Mischievous Kiss. I may not be a big fan of this manga though I've seen the two other versions and I see that it's more promising that the other two.

It was said that MBC's Wed-Thur drama is 'jinx'. I hope that this 'jinx' will soon be broken as new episodes of MK will be shown in the coming days and weeks.

Here's translated news courtesy of xiaochu of Quainte501.

09/02 [news] ‘Mischievous Kiss’, 1st Episode 3.5% ‘Ah! Tough Road Ahead’

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY

The 1st telecast of MBC new Wed-Thu drama ‘Mischievous Kiss’ on 1-Sep had the worst viewship ratings, a forewarning of its tough road ahead.

Based on the results from viewership rating company AGB Nielsen Media Research, ‘Mischievous Kiss’ which was broadcasted on 1-Sep, had 3.5% rating nationwide. This is a disappointing result as compared to the anticipation gained as ‘The 2nd BOF’.

This drama originated from a popular comic, with Kim HyunJoong from SS501 as Baek SeungJo, rookie actress Jung SoMin as Oh HaNi, a student who has a crush on him, it is a lively and cute drama, however it was not able to catch the attention of viewers.

Meanwhile at the same timeslot, KBS 2TV ‘Bread, Love and Dreams’ recorded 44.0% viewership while SBS ‘My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox’ recorded 11.9%.

We, the overseas fans, cannot do much for help it. The streaming doesn't count, right? That's the only way we have to help but doesn't count *pout* this is frustrating.

I hope that tomorrow (today there) the things change for good.

as much as i want to keep an optimistic happy attitude like Ha Ni, i just can't help but feel bad with the ratings. though its already something expected given the tough competition. at times i thought how cruel viewing public are and i can just imagine how bad a burden it is for hyun joong.

i'll keep on supporting PK, fighting!

dont be sad girls. think positive...its just the first day. you'll see as the story progresses more and more people will get more interested in the story. its not fair to compare it to the other shows coz they have been on in the last few months and people have been following their story. hold on to your horses girls coz hjl is coming to sweep everyone's heart away just like what he did in bof.

my heart hurt more than when i broke off with my bf ... i cant stop myself frm crying .... hyun joong fans in korea ....plz support him by watching naughty kiss ..tonight n every each episode onwards.

pinkymomo said...

perhaps, we should be more optimistic on the rating.

however, the most i concerning now is the burden on HJ, is getting heavy because he is the main male lead, not like BOF. I don't want him to feel stress.... >__<

Group8 should do something, shouldn't they?

Fighting!!

triple s and to those who love hyun joong in korea please support him up to the end...

It was said MK was an upgrade of BOF, that KHJ's acting wasn't much different. Let's see, MK is PRODUCED & DIRECTED by the same people as BOF. Could this have an effect? And...who are these Netizens? Obviously & sadly people whose opinions highly matter. I'm biased towards KHJ so of course I'm gonna say I liked his acting, just wish he would be more selective in drama's he wishes to act in.
KHJ fighting....

I have confidence that Leader will show the same resilience or even more than BOF time when ratings and critics were not in his favor. Leader fighting ! Will wait for the day when you prove them wrong again! All the best for the MK drama season.

Fans in Korea, pls try to convey our msg to him.
We, international fans will support & love him always....
Don't feel any guiltiness on the rating.
You shall conquer the rating!

i agree to all of you guys, really i didnt sleep well last nite bec. of the ratings, at first i was happy to see him again on the screen but later on felt so bad when ratings came up!! what else can we do?... thinking abt their comments, arent they amazed that even with just khj's eyes.., his lips,, his facial expression is more than enough to convey what he feels?, he doesnt need to speak, move his hands or to fight just to let us know whats on his mind.omg!!!maybe i was just crazy abt him, sorry guys!'keep on supporting him whatever it takes!

i dont know why the rating so bad, hjl acting better than when he was in bof, the story also interisting. i really want to help him, but i caouldnt do anything, huh, i realy hope someone around him could comfort him and not judge him!
but i think the rating will getting better soon, because he is our leader after all!

just wondering
where are the triple s and khj fans
in korea that time
am not expecting him to be on top
especially it was just a 1st epi
but i didnt expect too that he will get this kind of low ratings
this really bugs my mind where are they
if this was only aired overseas
i dont think this will ever happen
just cant believe until now

I guess the Korean fans are too disappointed in whatever that had happened to SS501? But I watched it even though I'm an overseas fan. (Sigh) Think on the bright side, they referred leader as "Kim HyunJoong from SS501". :D
I will still suport leader (:

I had never feel nervous on my exam's result.
But, i feel nervous for EP2 result indeed.
WHY?

I still believe that Leader will rise and become better. He arrived in acting when he was already recognized as a very goodlooking endorser, he knows already his way in modelling and is almost perfect in it, he looks good whatever he does. His first love was music and playing the guitar so he belonged to a rock band and was the best bass guitarist. In SS501, his individual performances stood out from the rest because he was a total performer. He is the sexiest dancer, his voice is good although less stronger than his groupmates, he is a like a prince performing on stage. He can sing OSTs and make them very popular. His got this charm that shines from other bands and solo performers too. New fans would notice him right away. He was also already popular as a funny comedian in sitcoms or naturally funny as him in his interviews and shows.I remember pretty well he was the only choice for Yoon Ji Ho and selected first from the other F4 because of WGM. So he is excellent or almost perfect in those activities. Thus when he would ventured into something new, naturally everyone’s expectations would be high. If he had started early when he was still an unknown nobody would have noticed. I know leader will be brave to face these challenges that is why he accepted this role and he will do his best. When KeyEast got him I am sure they wanted to help him in this aspect. He was humble enough from the beginning on what he needs to work on. His life experiences made him strong and he was protected by divine providence earlier in his life because he is destined for bigger things. *_*

We all love Kim Hyun Joong for what he is, for being smart and witty, his sincerity, his humility, his versatility(he can do almost anything), his kindness, his humor, his looks and his charm. I want to see it again, the sound and colors of the video copy I saw lacked in quality. His acting should depend on the story, he is supposedly arrogant, mean and very intelligent. I think their were some clips in a preview which showed that more. It depends really also on the director on how he wants his actors to look like in the scenes...I read a comments from the director that there were changes in the story to adapt more to Korean culture. I know Leader worked hard. The first episode seems to lack the suspense we felt in the teasers sent out. This has also something to do with the sequence of the scenes. I wish too that I can understand Korean...have to see it again with English sub...I still believe that Leader will become a better actor. When his new management got him I am sure they have this thing in their mind, what with Bae Yong Joon in it. Leader was brave enough to admit from the start on what he needs to work on. I am sure regular meetings with his idol will help too. Leader is very strong and I always see him as the star with the most potential and to rise above the rest. Many people see that too that is why people notice him and want him to become better and better! ^_^

No matter how good the acting, it would not help if the storyline is poor. Even really strong actors have had duds if the story and writing is weak. As newbies, KHJ's acting did improve and JSM did really well. Sadly, I was so bored with the childish and unrealistic dream sequences and long narratives that I just turned to other things while letting the show continue streaming. I seriously hope there will be more bite in the coming episodes.

I must agree with Anony@7.15 that the pace of the drama got bogged down by too much detail into the inconsequential footage just to flesh out the different cast characters. Also, MBC was a bit too generous with the long previews ( almost a third of Ep 1 ) before debut that could have killed the freshness of the 1st episode. It also seems that MBC can't let go of the success of Princess Hours in the closing footage with the bears. Somehow I don't think that would help boost the ratings. Seems the Station has this tendency. I noticed parts of the OST instrumental music for BOF and Goong sound similar. The low ratings reflected the entire production as a whole. Seems unfair to pin it on HJL when he only took up about 15 mins or so of air time.

The rating is counted by viewership "not how good it is"
I think Kim Tak Goo and Gumiho is the reason for the rating. They're stealing all the viewers..

all we have to do tonight is pray for the success of 2nd episode until the end..there's nothing impossible to GOD if we pray for mk's success.

honestly, my heart till now is aching due to the result of rating and i pity on leader since before bof, his all time favorite of netizen's bashing moment but because of his pure heart and sincerity, they all not succeed hence, it's his first step to become stardom..hope grean peas in korea will unite tonight for the good rating. mk fighting!

1 on you previously said not fair comparing PK with current drama that already more in 5 episodes, and event with 2 that already ended show. TOTALY AGREE!!, I am not yet event bit see the episode1! But, some factors that observe through news n pooling: 1) PK should be compare with SS which start in jst 2dys ago, SS rating below than PK, both hv time to go...we'll see. 2) MBC channel compare with KBS totaly diff wide coverage, plus with restriction VOD etc and hard to online watching so most of overseas fans can not count. 3) THIS is evidance based, I skip BLD at the 1st episode, just start join the drama of BLD recently when Kim Ta Gu got blind,its catch my sorry on him at that episode than i am currious than i jst know there is hatered, revenge, love etc, meaning that PK is in warming up, THIS IS 1ST EPISODE, jst like BLD the viewers numbers will increase by the time the story going to climax, touching the feeling of viewers...lets passionly wait and see. Okie??

hi liezle, where we can find tonight's rating result? i'm finished watching PK and this time the drama entertained me so well..one thing is khj improved a lot of his acting hehehe...how about you? is there improvement tonight?

Anonymous said...

for me, it's kinda boring, though i love hyunjoong the most, but wacthing the drama makes me sleepy.
2nd eps was better than 1st eps, and hyunjoong acted more improved in this 2nd eps.

btw, i dont like leader's eyes circle, looked he didnt have much rest.
he looked tired with that eyes.

pray hard for better rating.
leader ah, fighting!!!

Don't know why these idol productions are always so strapped for time. They are barely a couple of episodes ahead, which means very crammed filming, including overnight shoots ( Leader's quite obvious eye circles ) and hardly any lead time for refinement. The slightest unexpected delay would definitely result in panic mode to deliver the episodes on time for broadcast. I read somewhere that Rain has completed his coming new drama The Fugitive even before it's debut after King of Bakery and his army enlistment. MK could do with better production time management schedules or we'll be looking at a very haggard cast as the drama progresses.

Just read local Chinese paper article that MK smacks too much of Goong influence, even to JSM's image ( copycat of Yoon Eun Hye )and the bear thingy for the closing part.
Group Eight may have an overly simplistic view of current viewers taste to rehash past drama successes. Already, the big challenge to go one up from the Taiwanese & Japanese versions and trying to flesh out 2D manga characters is tough enough without getting blasted for lack of creativity.
HJL really needs all the support he can get to rev up the ratings for MK. Probably most of those tuning in are diehard fans but the production hasn't been able to capture fresh viewers much.
