Mischievous Kiss Episode 4 DL Link 100909

Episode 4 of Mischievous Kiss seems to have garnered a much lower rating compared to the previous episodes. From a low of 1.47% mid range of about 2.5% to a high of 4.33%. As for My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, in tonight's episode it didn't hit any double digit rating. Lowest is at 4.73%, highest is at 9.47%. Baker King on the other hand got a low of 18.08% and a high of 48.24%

To show you how the rating every 5 minutes of the 3 dramas, here's the table which i lifted from mbc dramas forum in dcinside.

Others may say that this is just rating but in Korea it means a lot. I hope it won't affect any of Hyun Joong's endorsement deals and other feature projects. But I still have high hopes that the rating will still go up.

Anyway...

You can start downloading now episode 4. Thanks to semi-fly of MKthread @ soompi for the link. [will try to add more later]

argh!!! come on Korea! This is the man that introduced so many to kpop. one of those who attracts investment and helps to stimulate your economy. the rising hallyu star that will continue to gain more attention and bring more glory to your nation. Can't you show a little more support?

I wasn't bothered about ratings all along, till today. I hope they will do better next week, and a lot better after baker's king...i don't wish for an eventual cutting down of episodes. Mischievous Kiss fighting fighting fighting!!!!!

Today was a satisfying episode, and the fifth looks even better. Come on Korea!!!!! ^^

I'm not worried about ratings, but leader must be very stressed now T.T

Who cares...I still believe in the drama. Why do people think that leader made it become like this? His got so much potential and he will rise above all the Korean stars in his generation. How do you post these ratings anyway? I prefer funny or feel good films that the serious ones. I doubt if the films that are considered successful in Korea will even be noticed in our country haha

Something doesn't seem right.
It's not that because i like the drama or favor KHJ. The drama itself is pretty cute, and fun to watch. Even if it's because of Baker King, still, Hyun Joong has lots and lots of fans, and supports in Korea. It's like something being manipulated about the rating. I don't know, it's weird. Maybe, it's just me.

Geez! What is the deal? This drama is really cute and sweet and everyone is doing a great job. Now that HJL is proving he can act the antis are going after the drama itself. What is wrong with these people?

I am so happy, MBC and Group Eight will create a special on line edition of PlayKiss and they will show it thru YOU TUBE...This is such a great idea. This will be good for all international fans. I am so excited already. I hope this will be done soon. According to the article there will some changes in the story perhaps the beginning part and there is another assigned to do it c:

I have a theory...most of Hyun Joong fans are young people and they still live with their parents. Parents want to watch other programs, so if there's only one tv in the house, the child doesn't have any say on what channel should be on, therefore tv ratings are affected.

Now...since child have a computer he/she will just download the whole episode and watch it thru computer, hence the record high downloads in iMBC.

Ratings company should start to include internet downloads in the ratings.

I Think Jenascia's theory is right.
Well I wish they are counting other countries who watched the drama. I'm from the US and I can't wait to watched each episode... I think KHJ acting is improving and I love his song " One more Time" I played it over and over. TS Korea...pls. belive in our beautiful Leader.. help him increase this rating.. I know he's working so hard for this.

Explanations are out there why the ratings are low-still it is unfair for the cast and production team to get this returns for their efforts.Do I smell sabotage -I am not sure -but comment above is true - KHJ is helping KOrean economy not only himself -are these people blind or what ? Or is he really appreciated more in other countries than in his homeland. How sad if true. Why is it domestic rating is only what they count ? He is Hallyu star meaning an international star -then everything must be counted in.
Why are they counting only TV watching -I thought South Korea is boasting to be the most wired among countries -then they should count those who downloaded domestically . It is now the reality -can't they not know that ! SK Media people where are you, speak up!

Btw,how many viewers were sampled for TV viewing ? I know that can be manipulated as well .

i read that only 2000 homes are counted in ratings. although it's a good sample size, it's still not representative of the whole country. and i agree that those TV ratings are just a small part of a show's success. obviously people are watching Baker King (or Gumiho Girlfriend) FIRST and then watching Playful Kiss online. so it doesn't mean only 3% are watching. it means 3% are watching LIVE, and everyone else watches later. the download rates show that it still does have a large audience, but the TV ratings just look bad and give the wrong impression, not to mention discourage the cast, crew, and even sponsors. =/
i really hope that after Baker King ends, people will start watching Playful Kiss at its regular time. but with Rain's Fugitive coming, audiences might get sucked into that instead. let's face it, although Playful Kiss is really sweet and fun, the plot isn't compelling enough to be a priority (more an afterthought, like if they have time, they'll download that simple but amusing show). *sigh*
Playful Kiss FIGHTING!

I hope the same Liezle! It's such a bad rating, I think it will not take so long and the bad criticism begin to appear :s
I hope that it will not damage the projects yet to come...

Even the stations are baffled by the ratings. The tie up with YouTube for the online special edition seems a very good idea - maybe will spark off a new trend of rating that is not only determined by live TV viewing but in cyberspace since MBC said MK is targeted at the younger generation who are more tech savvy.

@1:46 i agree with you. knowing hyunjoong's name is impossible to get this ratings. but still, i'm praying this drama will get the higher ratings next week. mk fighting!

The drama is cute and fun to watch. And hyun joong who's a sparkling star is in it and doing a good job as an actor. I believe MK will do much better after baker king. And as many mentioned above, online download should be included in ratings like a nation that's wired no 1 in the world. MK fighting!!!
