Are are we going to give up to early? Of course not! No whatever it takes, I'm committed to finish Mischievous Kiss even though I'm not helping in anyway with the rating. Though I know, in some little ways I'm helping the drama in the promotion in other countries. ^^
Thanks Marvie for shoving this article that ode translated one her blog.

3.4%, Playful Kiss, the reason why it's still early to give up yet
MBC Wed-Thurs drama Playful Kiss recorded ratings of 3.4% (09 Sept, #4). This was lower by 0.1% than #3 broadcasted on 8 September with 3.5%. A few of the broadcasting personnel expressed their thoughts on Playful Kiss who is facing the worst situation, "It isn't impossible yet that the drama will not be revived".
However, it is still too early to think about giving up. Since only 4 episodes have been aired so far, there are many guesses throughout here and there that there will be possibility of a rise in ratings soon.
Solid storyline... Kim Hyun Joong - Jung So Min Loveline Anticipation UP
The first possibility would be that Baek Seungjo (Kim Hyunjoong) and Oh Hani (Jung Somin)'s loveline is beginning to slowly develop itself. Oh Hani has been living in shame since sending her self-penned love letter to Baek Seungjo. Baek Seungjo whom, disregards Oh Hani in every single circumstance, has begun to slowly open his heart up to Oh Hani, as was seen in the episode aired on 9 September.
Baek Seungjo who has been so arrogant throughout is slowly beginning to change. Because of that, Baek Seungjo and Oh Hani's love story that will soon spread its wings is grabbing the attention of audiences.
-next paragraph omit, introduction of drama-
Drama Boys over Flowers had similarly faced the same situation whereby it was facing a tough battle in the beginning against MBC drama 'East of Eden', yet in the end it achieved huge success with its increasing ratings.
The hardwork of the actors.. Audiences Are Aware
The 2nd possibility is because the good acting by the young actors and the vetarans. In particular veterans Jung Hyeyoung, Kang Namgil etc, they show their passion for acting. Especially where this drama is so manhwa-like, there will bound to be many overly-exaggerated cases.
Because of that, this kind of drama style is not easy for the vetarans to portray for the first time. However, the veterans managed to portray their characters without any trace of awkwardness. Not forgetting that protagonists Kim Hyunjoong, Jung Somin etc, these young actors display acting skills that illuminate on itself, too.
Of course, the hard work of these young actors Kim Hyunjoong and Jung Somin is very much obvious. Kim HyunJoong has now upgraded his acting from the perfect yet warm guy Yoon Jihoo into the tough yet perfect guy Baek Seungjo. As to how Kim Hyunjoong will digest his character Baek Seungjo slowly falling for Oh Hani, everyone is highly curious about that.
Indeed, Jung Somin who only had one work 'Bad guy' managed to digest her Oh Hani character so smoothly as she got chosen for the role. These guys worked really hard for their characters. A related drama personnel mentioned,
"Kim Hyunjoong & Oh Hani never left their hands away from the scripts, and is always rehearsing for them. Especially the feeling to be put forth for the character, they really put in much meticulousness and thoughts as they act it out vividly".
Though the drama records low ratings as at 3.4%, but this is only the 4th episode. Looking at the rather high ratings this drama rakes in for its re-broadcasts, it is not difficult to spot the possibility whereby audiences will soon move their attention to it.

I believe in this too. The cast are really very very good. Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min are really doing their hard work. I will pray for all of them...I am so excited for this couple. It is more exciting than other couples in the past dramas of MBC which are also of the comedy beginning shown mid this year *_*
Am glad for some positivity in the midst of all the negatives!
Yes, it is good to be positive. The reality is the slotting of the airing of the drama. At present, it is up against King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu, which ends on Sep 16. The rating for MK will go up on Sept 22 and 23 because of the Chuseok holidays. However, The Fugitive: Plan B airs its pilot on Sept 29. It is like David and Goliath.
MK fighting! At first i thought i would not like this type of drama, I couldn't finish the second ep. of ISWAK back then. But now, i can't wait for the next ep of MK. It's absolutely adorable and fun.
I really loved Playful Kiss from the beginning and it also helps that I stopped watching the teasers c: The turn of events is really so exciting on how their relationship develops into mutual admiration, friendship and support then love hehe I also hope that Leader will sing another OST for the drama comedy series. Really I agree this is so much better than the other MBC comedy series I saw early this year or I think that ended sometime in April hehe Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min have a certain chemistry. They look nice together too. I like the family supporting them. Eventually the students will like Seung Jo too.
There is something weird going to happen in Ep 5, I hope Seung Jo will remain as smart as ever ^_^
Yes, I'm very positive Jangki will do much better in two weeks as KHJ & JSM are doing an excellent job. KHJ & Jangki fighting!
Just read a very encouraging and unbiased review of MK at Thundie's Prattle (http://thundie.wordpress.com/2010/09/11/playful-kiss-mbc-2010-first-impressions/#comment-3322) that will cheer TS, HJL & MK fans to press on in their support regardless of the ratings situation.
