I dunno...after The Princess Man...there's nothing out there really interest me at the moment.....I am only planning to watch Poseidon to sooth my thirst of absmal.....

I wanted to watch Me To, Flower...only if KJW is back or they have someone that would really interest me, since I don't really fond of LJA as the main female lead...

The only drama I'm eagerly waiting is The Fermentation Family :)

Saguek makjung? I would so watch that.
I am not surprised Tree with Deep Roots is doing so well as it has been so good so far.

Song Joong-ki why did I doubt you? The scene in ep 2 where he held his ground against the Great King moved me to tears. So powerful!

tree is the best
My inner SKKS addict will root for any 3 of the jalgeum quartet boys (Sorry min young)
GO Joong Ki!

and then there's Jang!Hyuk!

What more does a kdrama viewer need to be satisfied?
and i love the writers so i'm expecting quite a lot

;D

I'm so on the sageuk bandwagon!

I love SJK but I'm really watching Tree for all the other characters; with so many good supporting actors, it's a delight to watch!

Also Jang! Hyuk! Midas totally made me a fan.

I was a little bit frightened of A Tree with Deep Roots from the teasers. Jang Hyuk (whom I loved in Thank You and really disliked in Midas) looked so fierce, and I'm not so into the scary version of Jang Hyuk. However...the first couple of episodes were very good and the child actor who shares Jang Hyuk's character did a great job of adapting some of Jang Hyuk's expressions and general affect.

I had watched Tree,and it is pretty interesting. Song Joong Ki's acting is really good. Well-written, solid acting from its cast,and has a degree of intrigue. It is giving me the Da Vinci Code vibe-korean sageuk style. If it continue like the previous episodes, the ratings can go up to 30%.

Baker King was over-rated. I just do not see how a similar drama will be interesting.

I watched Man of Honor. *raises hand* Me, me, me!

It's cute. Despite all the woe and tragedy in episode 1 alone heaped on poor Jae In, the drama plays it light unlike in Baker King, and then takes a slightly surreal wink-wink approach to it's makjang storyline.

It even has a magical fairy beggar! I'm not kidding about that.

I find the show charming in its obviousness (which it's aware of and doesn't try to pretend otherwise) because the two leads are so charming it's a pleasure spending time with them.

I don't think MoH is as high brow as Flames of Desire, but more like a chibi version that tries to take it's makjang stupidity and maybe try a different way to present it.

Not sure if this tone can last, but for not it's really quite entertaining. But TPM has built such a rapid want of sageuks I wasn't surprised to see the mass migration over to TwDR.

I see MoH doing nice high teens ratings for it's run. If lucky it might break twenty. But no way is this thing doing anything close to Baker King numbers, which were an anomaly to begin with.

anyone watch game of thrones? my immediate thought when i read the title was good old cersei and her famous, "when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die."

i feel like the same thing is applicable to the drama ratings game.

Tree with Deep Roots deserves to be at the top, Solid acting and a well scripted story will pull in viewers every time.

As for identity stealing gisaengs on a revenge mission, that was done in Yaksha :)

Hmmmmm....Tree with Deep Roots seems more interesting to me...And identity-stealing gisaengs on revenge missions are awesome :) I wish there were more dramas with that xD

I havent watched either of them yet. Little busy with another sageuk. I totally agree with you that "Genre loyalty > broadcast station loyalty". Nothings really caught my eye after the amazing drama that was "The Princess Man" so I want to tune into another sageuk instead. And I'm not really a fan of sport-related dramas either.

In other related news I guess, I started watching Queen Seon Deok! And OMG its amazingggggggggggggg! Totally hooked needed something to quench on after TPM. And since I am in love with sageuks at the moment I heard it was the must see sageuk and it hasent proven me wrong. Amazing.

Not really a fan of Park Min Young sorry to say.

Just recently watched Baker King....I enjoyed it a lot though I don't think i would be watching this kind of plot anytime soon. BK was successessful mainly because of the actors' good performance...I guess. And I agree, it's a bit over-rated... there are few other kdramas which has the same or better story but did not received good ratings.

Not interested in either drama...but I'm addicted to TWdrama "In Time With You"..now that is a drama to watch.

Sageuk makjang I would definately be up for watching! Especially if it did the twists more in a Flame of Desires style instead of an eyebrow raising "Whhhhyyyyy?" so long as it'd avoiding the sudden episode dragging and weird cut off in romance.

Considering punishments, class laws, no modern technology, medicine, etc. It would make some really heated material!

i was really impressed after watching ep 1 of tree. it's rare that a drama captures you right out of the gate.

Not a fan of Man of Honor casts.
So I'll stick with saeguk, coz where else can we see Jang Hyuk, Song Joongki, Kim Ki Bum in the same picture unless in TWDR??? And the story is good too.

With WBDS coming to an end (sub wise)....I definitely need me some sageuk so I've been planning to start Tree. Going by the positive reviews after just two eps, looks like I'll be starting this one tonight.

Duh, because it's Jang Hyuk!!!
With his voice and general intenseness, it's like he's made to be a saeguk star haha.

besides, I thought all saeguk had makjang elements? *shrugs* It seems pretty all around crazy all the time, you know?

Wasn't surprised on how the ratings played out. I feel bad for CJM though..

can you post cable networks on currently airing? thanks!

MBC should push back Me too Flower, and pick up WHAT'S UP instead. That would give KJW time to recuperate and for the production team to catch up on filming while What's Up is airing.

Meanwhile, the Song Ji Na-forgotten-drama (by everyone, but not by me) will get its chance to be on broadcast. I get to watch Lim Ju Hwan (MINE!), MBC gets to extend the premiere of Me too Flower, and KJW gets to stay on the drama and recover from surgery. It's a win-win situation for everybody! What would MB go to lose?? From the looks of it now, the ratings game wouldn't be any different if Me Too Flower premieres as scheduled.

Just my 2 cents on the matter. Still hoping.

PMY's acting performance in City Hunter is good enough for her role as Kim nana, but the main reason why City HUnter is a huge Hit in ratings its because the story itself and also Lee Min Ho..

All Park Min Young drama before CH didn't do well in ratings, then after being cast in CH she is now a household name among fans especially when she is dating LMH.

So overall LMH is a big help on PMY in terms of her rise of popularity..

I'm planning to to watch this drama, but what I anticipate to watch is next weeks premiere of A thousand day promise..

Random!! why left side of MY face is not zygomorphic with the right one.

I've watched the first two episodes of Tree and they were amazing! Can't wait for more episodes.

have watched MOH.. ep 1 is kinda boring... but ep 2 really caught my attention.. i always find park min young acting was just ok for her prev drama.. but i was amazed with her acting in MOH.. she acts fast.. talks fast.. it's like i'm seeing a new pmy here... plus she still looks great even with short hair.. i'm not pmy fan but i guess she deserves some credit for this drama.. i guess i'll continue watching it.

so jang hyuk is not the male lead in tree with deep roots?

I am a really big fan of PMY so i decided to give MOH a try even though Baker King bored me 10 eps in...and MOH turned out to be a ridiculous mess of makjang and contrived emotions that i had to force myself to finish the first ep....

and then i decided to give Tree a try and omg it was amazing. it was so wonderfully acted, directed and had such beautiful cinematography!! it was better than queen seok duk!! definitely a very pleasant surprisse!!

so it only makes sense that its ratings would be so high..it is such good quality...the kind that is almost impossible to find!

that said, i do hope MOH improves as i dont want to see PMY wasted.

but Tree is amazing and I can't wait for more!!

I'm still waiting for MoH subs.

TWDR is awesome! Jang Hyuk is awesome!

Yep, that's it :)

Oh.. and OMG! Joong Ki acting is blowing my mind!

The Princess' man and Deep-rooted tree are the best and the most intelligent series for this year.

I watched the first two episodes of Tree with Deep Roots. Looking GOOD. VERY GOOD.

hi i have to say i just watched the first two episodes of man of honor over the weekends, and found it to be the best korean drama i have watched in a while. The plot has enough twists in it to keep me engaged and looking forward to the next episode. The chemistry between CJM
and PMY is WAY of the chart.

And if you are a big CJM fan ( like i am), under NO circumstances your should miss this drama, as i have never seen CJM this charasmatics before, not even his performance in what up's fox could compare with this one.

His character is flawed, manly yet incredibly charming in this wear one's heart on ones sleeve kind of way, it almost as if the character was tailored for him or something. Far better than that awful, bland, one dimentional character he played on cinderella stepsister ( sorry, i know many of you are going to hate me for saying this, but the fact is i loved CJM but absolutely do not like the Ki hoon character he played, it was SO boring and wooden).

Personally i think if "man of honor" can keep up the currently quality, it will become a real winner eventually just like "the Giant" in fact, it rating has already shown sighs of climbing.

ps i am probably biased here as i never liked sageuk dramas, i could not even watch the duo despite CJM was in it, eventhough i did managed to go through cinderalla stepsister purely because CJM was in it.

Why dramabeans doesn't write any episodes' synopsis for this drama ?? Hopefully there will be, even it's too late

watch queen seok deok first or tree????
