I actually just finish watching episode 1 of dr champ and i like it a lot.....hopefully the rating will increase not decrease!!!!

YAYYY finally Sungkyukwan Scandal broke 10! so is it confirmed for 20 episodes?

Is that Park Min Young? she looks so pretty, I can't wait to see that episode! It's great SKKS is getting more viewers its such a underrated drama, but I hope it can get close to 20% for it's finale

i'm patiently waiting for dr champ subs. where are you guys watching it?

I'm so happy for Sungkyunkwan Scandal!!!! They worked so hard for this and I'm glad they're getting the recognition that they deserve! Keep fighting!!!!!

Wow!!! great for SKKS

Finally broke 10%. I m SO happy! Sungkyunkwan scandal fighting

im in korea now and everyone seems to watch sungkyunkwan. Maybe they watch it online

I watched Dr. Champ and I actually really like it.

I have one question though.
Does anyone know who the main pairing will consist of?
I noticed the descriptions of the drama doesn't make it really clear.

20 eps assa~!

YAY so happy for SS and happy for dr.champ!! I am watching both of these shows. SS is addictive but dr.champ is good too, esp cuz of KSY

Happy for SKKS...such a good drama but low rating...(really don't know why) drama like Baker King is good but I don't think it can hit more than 50%...don't understand it at all...

Sungkyunkwan Scandal is a MUST SEE!!! ^^
Absolutely love this drama--- the cast and the storyline simply captivatingly addicting like slurping a pandan boba drink.

the cinematography for dr. champ is similar to the style of movies. I really liked the pacing of the dialogue and the unfolding of the story. They do an amazing job of setting up the background for Kim Soyeon, now I'm just waiting for as good of a set up for the other characters.

SKKS pulls me back and forth. I love it, then I feel indifferent. I'm really watching it for Yoo Ah In and Song Joongki, but by far Episode 7 was my favorite.

I'm sooo over Dong Yi, and I didn't even give Giant a chance. Is Giant decent? I love all the actors, but I didn't want to be disappointed like I was in East of Eden.

I'm so happy that SKKS ratings went up. It's such a good drama. If SKKS has Giant and Dong Yi to compete with, then Dr.Champ must have no other dramas to compete with, since there are only 4 dramas airing on Mon-Tues. Lucky for Dr Champ to be aired with no other dramas as competitors. Perhaps because it's not aired in prime time ?

Love Dr. Champ!
It's surprisingly funny... and refreshing. I hope you & girlfriday would give it a chance! I'd love to read about your thoughts on it. :)

Aww i cant help but check out dr. champ first ep out and love it!! Sooo happy for SS scandal I absolutely LOVE this series!!

Yay for SKKS! I'm so glad it finally broke double digits because it deserves to, really.

As for Dr. Champ, I guess if it receives good reviews, I'd give it a try.

I'm really looking forward to watching Dr. Champ and the last two episodes of MGIAG, but my 6 mth old Macbook developed problems over the weekend and is now being fixed. Hopefully, it'll be ready to come home by Thursday.

But, still...aaaaarrrgh!!!

Yay for SKKS. 'Cos even though I don't choose to watch dramas based on their ratings, I still hope for those I watch to fare better in that aspect. Way to go SKKS.

Yeah Long Live Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Love it. Finally it reach double digit rating. I hope when Dong Yi end the rating for SKKS will skyrocket achieve more 15% rating. PRAY FOR THAT.

Both dramas are awesome. Love them.

I would just like to share this.. Someone posted this on soompi about Sungkyunkwan ratings.

COMMENT ABOUT RATINGS

It's a really good sign that the ratings are increasing, even if it's little by little. But even if the ratings AREN'T as high as we think this drama deserves, I just want to tell everyone not to be too concerned. This drama's TRUE popularity is much, MUCH higher than is reflected in the ratings.

I'm currently an English teacher in Korea and I teach over 600 high school girls (a big chunk of the target audience for this drama). Trust me when I say, this drama is SUPER popular right now.... every time I mention the drama or the actors to my students, they all squeal with giddiness and rave about it just like we do, lol.

But my take on why this drama's ratings aren't as high as the others? It's 'cause of what I call "Remote Control Power." It's true that Dong Yi and Giant have established, loyal fanbases so that affects the ratings majorly, but also... let's be realistic. If your target audience is women from the young teens to 20s... trust me when I say this, their parents are definitely NOT letting them watch TV right now.

My students are all busy studying their butts off for their midterm exams, and their drama watching is not a priority right now. Suffice to say it's definitely the ajummas and ajjushis with their hands on the remotes, not the kids. If they could measure drama downloading, I'm sure that would skew the charts significantly, but like I said... the kids aren't the ones watching live TV... its their parents.

But like I said, there's a massive army of young Korean women watching this drama... so about the ratings, it's not for the lack of interest that's the problem, it's just that they're all probably watching it secretly on their computers ;)

I HAVE SEEN THE FIRST EPISODE AND I LIKE A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!
I
LIKE
SOME
MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS VERY INTERESTING

ITS SO GREAT

AND I LOVE Uhm Tae-woong IS SO HANDSOME A VERY ATRACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished watching this and I am pleasantly surprised by Dr. Champ. I love the character build up so far but I'm want more of UTW and KSY interaction. I can already see the sparks! ^^

CONGRATS TO SS ! YAAAYYYY ! BANZAI !

soo happy for SkkS! but sad that only 10 episodes are left though its better than 16..but still..cant they make it to 30 or 40 ep? haha! cant get enough of those Jalgeum F4..i still want to see more from them..anyways, i'll just enjoy the remaining 10 eps...

and im wanting to see Dr. Champ as well..im loving UTW!

I hope that Viikii can get the SkkSs up and running - they are having issues with KBS. Is there any other place where it is getting subbed?? Pls hepl -Thanks

Dr. Champ is adorable. Okay, fine, Jung Kyeo-woon is adorable. And his six pack.....!! After seeing the six pack, I was hoping javabeans/girlfriday would recap the series. :-P I don't usually watch shows javabeans doesn't recap, but I'm definitely making an exception for Dr. Champ! Episode 1 was a very pleasant surprise.

yay for sungkyunkwan scandal! :) i hope the ratings continue to increase. im also delighted to learn that the show actually has 20 episodes. more moony moments :)
btw, that picture of min-young really reminds of lee da hae. just saying.

i am really liking Sungkyukwan Scandal..i just finished ep.9 and cant wait to see episode 10. A must see drama :)

I hope someone will do the recap for Dr Champ Pleaseeeeeee! I love Kim So Yeon.

I decided to watch Dr. Champ just because i'm a huge fan of kim so yeon, and I was pleasantly surprised by the drama's storyline. I was waiting with bated breath to see if dramabeans would post any info about this drama, so needless to say, I'm happy to read this post.

It's a really fun drama and I think it's got a lot of great components-humor, romance, sarcasm, and the big A for angst.

Go Dr. Champ!

I'm so happy for SKKS!

watch 2 episodes of Dr Champ and simply love it. It is fast moving and of course Jung kyeo woon simply adorable and manly with his new hair cut and six packs.

WAY TO GO SKKS!!! fighting!!

Although i never base my watching on ratings, It's nice to see that SKKS has finally broke 10%. It does feels like their effort are being acknowledge albeit in a smallest amount of increment. The drama deserve it and I'm pretty sure all the casts and crews are happy about this good news....AJA AJA FIGHTING!!!! SKKS!!!!
Episode 10 was awesome!!!! can't wait for mon-tues.

oow!1 yeah ! finally broke 10% ?!!

I'm so happy... actually ratings in Korea always confuse me...
anyway, I'm happy people realized how the drama is not about only cheesy childish love,etc...

OMG kim so yeon xD i'll be watching this lol

If anything, I think that the fact that these two are staying so consistently high in the ratings reflects even better on Sungkyunkwan, which is managing to somehow increase its viewership even though the other shows are hardly losing any. - EXACTLY ^^

SKKS congrats! now, it's PK turn to break the 10... hopefully.
as for Dr. champ... surprisingly better than i thought. i watched it for kim so yeon but dang... all those topless guys. i wonder if they aim for us to have massive nosebleeds or something.
as for kim so yeon, she's awesome. just seen kangshimjang 1st year anniversary and she's absolutely gorgeous in it.

YAY!!! SS rules!

I just love my garang, his subtle jokes get me every time.
It's a nice change to have a nerd in the handsome group get to be the hero.

SKKS fighting!!!

I love KSY..so I'm definitely gonna give this Dr Champ a try..since everyone has nice things to say about it. As for SKK, well I love the show and adore YAI and the latest episodes are cute but the more serious side of the story is beginning to surface

Just finish ep 2 of Dr. Champ and I LOVE IT soo far!!! Didnt think I would like the storyline but its soo fast pace and the storyline is really engaging!! Can't wait for monday and tuesday to come!! SKK and now Dr. Champ!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the upbeat tone of Dr. Champ. I was afraid that nothing would interest me after a slew of such great dramas, but this one is pretty good so far.

The relationship between Mr. Hot Judo Guy and KSY is so cute.
I hope these two end up together, but you never know in dramaland.

Gee, am I the only one rooting for the two doctors to get together? :P

Wow, Dr. Champ is shaping up nicely for a drama.

Loved the first episode of Dr. Champ! It was so cute and refreshing, and talk about great characters. I have to admit I wasn't particularly interested in it, but I'm really glad I gave it a try because it's wonderful!

As for pairings, I'm def. rooting for Jung Kyeo Woon and Kim So Yeon's characters to get together. He is just too cute!

happy that sks broke the double digit rating. hope it
continues for i am currently watching it. Fighting!
