Extension updates: Dr. Jin yes, Gentleman no
by javabeans
After a few weeks of maybes and We’re negotiating and rumors, weekend shows Dr. Jin and A Gentleman’s Dignity have both come out with official stances on the state of their futures: Dr. Jin will be getting its hoped-for extension after all, while weekend ratings winner A Gentleman’s Dignity will wrap without any additional installments.
It seems a bit counterintuitive, since SBS has been raking in 20%+ ratings with zippy, light-hearted rom-com A Gentleman’s Dignity, which is by far the more buzzed-about hit show between the two. You’d think they’d be more primed for prolonging the high numbers. But according to SBS CP Kang Shin-ho, it will end with Episode 20 as planned. He cited actor schedules as a hindrance, adding that while the upcoming London Olympics broadcast schedule will likely result in a pre-emption for the show, there won’t be any other adjustments to its length.
Managers from AM Entertainment, reps for series stars Jang Dong-gun and Kim Haneul, confirmed the same report and went so far as to say they’d never even discussed the possibility of an extension.
On the other hand, MBC is keen to keep Dr. Jin going, even though the show is stuck in low-teens ratings and has been getting some flak for its poor direction, despite an intrinsically interesting story about the modern doctor trapped in the past, messing with Fate by changing the course of history as he continually saves people he really shouldn’t. Maybe Dr. Jin’s genius is more the savant type, where he excels at his profession and lacks a very basic understanding of common sense.
Dr. Jin faces the same issue of an Olympic broadcast schedule conflict, but has decided not to pre-empt and will screen back-to-back episodes to keep on schedule. Originally planned for 20 episodes, the series will now end with 22.
On one hand, the show is absurd enough that I don’t know that I want any more of it existing, period. I’m still watching along, half-wondering why, though I’m by now in that stage of finishing a lackluster meal just to clean that plate. So I’d really prefer a shorter running time. But on the upside, at least it wasn’t the six-episode extension that was also rumored — now that would’ve been painful. If you’ve got words of encouragement for HeadsNo2, who’s faithfully slogging through the series, this would be a great time to let ’em out! She may need the boost to get through that final week.

*epic SIGH*... :(
I know intellectually than not extending AGD is a good decision. But my heart just can't agree with that. AT ALL! One more proof than all good things come to an end. Can we have fireworks then?? Please?
Extending Jin is just another mystery of the Universe. I'm sure the reason why is all BUT artistic.
I just hope Heads will release her inner beast for the last episodes: Forget the rules and recap it WTF style (crazy comments and ridiculous screencaps much appreciated).

Excellent idea for HeadsNo2, M! Her recaps are already half-way there in the snark quotient - with Dr. Jin, it's unavoidable. I, too, would love to see an all-out, over-the-top recap. It's what Dr. Jin deserves and HeadsNo2 is just the recapper to dish it up!

You will seriously watch Dr. Jin for another year just for Jae? O_o
i would rather watch him in PTB over and over again!
he is probably the 2nd best actor here after LBS, and i kinda hated his acting in the first few epis..so he improved..and i will never understand why Jae picked this project :/
SSH and PMY should quit acting...its painful to watch them emote -_-"

Don't want to be mean and be a party-pooper, but simply to clear things up for technicality, JYJ and DBSK have long gone their separate ways. Cassies are the group name for DBSK, and while some fans are fans of JYJ (former members of DBSK), it's not the fanclub name for JYJ.
JYJ are not part of DBSK (anymore).
sheils
July 23, 2012 at 8:21 PM
@Biscuit: sorry, but I'd have to disagree...being a Cassie means you're a fan of DBSK...which means all 5 members (including Jae)....JYJ have never ever stated that Cassies are no longer their fans or that they've gotten a new fanclub....they are technically still a part of DBSK until the lawsuit ends...and even then, you can see clearly on Jae's twitter "JYJ from DBSK"....can't spell it out more clearly than that....I agree that there are 'JYJ only' only fans and 'HM only fans'...but to say that Cassies are no longer fans of JaeChunSu is just false...in fact, I can say with confidence that majority of their fans now are still the fans that have loved them from the very beginning of their debut.

Why are they extending Dr. Jin?
Because it is profitable for MBC and the producers. Even before the drama aired its first episode, they sold it at one of the highest prices EVER for a Korean drama to Japan. Then they also sold it to several markets.
The drama has 2 Hallyu stars in it, SSH and Jaejoong. The dramas staring the JYJ guys, are in the top 10 for dramas sold to other countries. Add the fact that all the advertising slots are sold out. You can see why MBC does not care about ratings.

I am sad to see there was no evolution in Me Ahri´s character. You know when you want to "kill" the writer for lack of imagination. Let me guess...magically....Me Ahri will become a mature lady for Yoon, with her own design company in just two episodes!! or maybe it is ok to be very childish, cry all the time like a baby and get a 40 years old love with no problem. Choose!!

@ megels7719,
You know, this is sad but it is actually true. We could make a video with all the footage of her crying. I find it sad because Me Ah Ri had such potential as a character and she could have been used for great story telling, since all the women in the show are different and her story was compelling. I regret that she was so neglected as a character because the actress who is portraying her is doing a really great job! I just wish she had more to work with.
I am not good with the youtube making videos (I just don't know how to make them), otherwise I would have given it a try.

Love your writing, Javabeans - "finishing a lackluster meal just to clean the plate." I'm not even watching Dr. Jin but that perfectly describes my relationship with a lot of Kdramas!
I think it's a smart decision on AGD. I love that show but find it's been dragging for awhile. Best to end on a good note - although I will soooo miss the F44!

@ Korazy Lady,
I feel the way you do about AGD, I like it but I do feel that it has been dragging as well. Many fillers a lot of the time... We could have seen the other characters more (Yoon-Me Ah Ri mostly, especially after episode 17), and I might be in the minority, but I do like Colin in it (and the actor/singer who plays him).

lol I've been blogging recaps for Dr Jin as well, and I really do have to give some handclaps to HeadsNo2 as well.
I have a hard time writing the recaps of every episode without having to stop every 5 minutes and think in my head "are these guys on too much sugar to write such a scenerio?" and then reread ither drama recaps (such as Gaksital) and be like "Why couldn't Jin have been as good as Gaksital or the JP Version?"
Then you start thinking of all the repetitive issues and scenes you know that could have been cut for other you know "more dignified scenes" to be shown, and then you start comparing the actors/actresses and their salaries, (Seriously to me, everyone but LBS *im sorry to all those JYJ Fans* has been really stale in their acting (srsly SSH, PMY, KJJ all to me are like half ass acting) and then compare the drama ratings, and little do you realize, oh great I just spend x hrs not touching up on the recap, ah i'll work on it tomorrow morning when I forget everything I just did.
*sigh* thats how I am at least while writing the recap for this.
Mad props to HeadsNo2, I know fully how frustrating it is to recap this drama, and I'm really glad now that I didn't attempt to recap this here in stead for you. Keep it up! Only 2 weeks left!
As JB has said, I am looking to just wrapping this drama up just for the sake of finishing what I've started watching in what's already 80% into it.

Better to have fun in doing something as painful as recapping that kind of show.

It just pains me to watch Dr. Jin. I've always liked Park Minyoung, but now whenever I see her in this drama I just want to kick her back to the future or something. She has seriously only one expression in this drama ->( o__o) . I've always liked Song Seung Hun... But his chracter is just the greasiest thing. I'm a die hard fan of Jaejoong, but even his character makes me want to just take a sword and poke him. This drama had so much hope. I don't know why I'm still watching this. It seriously annoys the hell out of me.
As for Gentlemen's dignity... It builds up... It dies down. There are no character growths, no plot, naada. It's like watching a scripted reality show. Seriously only put up with it till now because it's funny and I've got Jang Dong Gun syndrome. It would have been better if Meahri grew up and thats how she won Yoon's heart. But still till the lastest ep she's a cry baby. So annoying seriously. I'm younger than her and I'm not a crybaby or have I ever met someone like her at that age. What is she? 13? =____=.

HeadsNo2, you know you're my hero, right? I don't know how you do it, but not only do you manage to recap this show, you actually make it fun to read about. You're improving the show!
I'm sending you a virtual care-package to get you through the final weeks: chocolate chip cookies (laced with a new drug that will slow down the growth of your brain fetus), a slinky (because those things do wonders for mental health), scented candles and bath salts (to soothe the headaches), and a new pair of red heels (you deserve them). I'm trying to get Lee Min-ho for you, too, but he isn't answering my calls.

Why would GJP/LMH give up on Jan Di? What do you think happened? I thought they (GJP and JD) were meant to be together? So you think that LMH is really GJP, really? What made you come to such a conclusion? (Very curious now...)

Im glad AGD isn't getting an extension mostly because I can't wait to see joo ji hoon acting again and five fingers is the follow up after. Not watching our reading the recaps for jin so pretty neutral on their extension. Sorry not even my love for jj and jin yi han could get me to watch that trainwreck .

I'm torn. I know AGD doesn't need an extension, after all, what more is there to show. Of course, I will pretty much watch whatever the AGD team throws at me because I am loving all the crazy crap they are throwing at me. Love the bromance, love the OTP... it's my only kdrama obsession for this season. But ultimately, I knew that they weren't going to extend it even if they actually wanted to. Most of the time, with such huge actors and their tight schedules, rarely can an extension fit in. I will be sad when AGD ends. :( MA really is annoying... while I understand why she hasn't changed, it still would have been nice to at least be grown up some.
Dr Jin - I love SSH, I do... and I know he is quite a crappy actor (just being real LOL). I only watched (more like skimmed) DJ for him and LBS. But there is only so much random - huh huh??? huh??? I can take. I'm not sure what to make of the extension, but I don't mind seeing more of SSH.

Hi Lovedramas, I am just curious, why do you think Me Ah Ri hasn't changed so far?

Following the show, not even downloading to watch Dr. Jin, but yeah, let's see how Jin would withstand the tumor-zapping, LOL~!
...and we shall see how far Ha-eung will be as the Heungseon Daewongun of history, and if he will proceed with the Catholic ersecution of 18whatsits~!
...also, if they're gonna slip in Min Chi-rok and her daughter the future Empress...since it's inevitable any mention of Gojong and Ha-eung will eventually wield the completing trinity with Empress Myeongseong...
Meanwhile, didn't follow Gentleman after the first ep., but LOL to anyone who watched SNL season 2's finale with SuJu in it (Kyu, Teuk, Hyuk, & Dong)...XD ROFLMAO

HeadsNo2's recaps made my Dr. Jin watching 1000% more enjoyable. Especially since LBS is not the main lead and there are so many unbearable scenes I try to sit through/ skip over. I really hope the political storyline gets more focus (though it's probably wishful thinking) because it's the only part that seems to make some semblance of sense so far.
Thanks Heads and keep up the excellent work you're doing!

Extension updates: No, No
I have been forcing myself to watch Dr. Jin so I dread having to watch two more episodes (I have a bit of OCD so I have to finish what I started)
I am loving A Gentleman Dignity but I probably agree with many of you that the show is starting to spin. I love the opening scenes and my idea for additional episode(s) would have a whole show featuring F44 and their bromance in many new short scenes. No overall plot, just the boys having fun!

So bizarre that they would want to extend let alone originally wanted SIX more???
I think HeadsNo2 knows that a lot of us are watching just so we can read her recaps afterwards. I've even started watching the unsub version so I could get the jist and then fill in the rest of Head's funny version. B/c really in the end, I just don't care anymore about all the detailed
dialogue. Heads, fighting!

UGHHHH I'M GOING TO MISS AGD SO MUCH WHEN IT ENDS! Yes the character development for some particular characters (Me Ahri and Jung Rok cough) is lackluster, but the thought of never seeing any new scenes of the freaking awesome bromance between the four manchildren breaks my heart!!! AHHHHHH I luff them so hard. Best group of four ever.

Omg. Now it works. I've been trying to post a comment for ages. Anyhoo, really? they're going to extend Dr Jin? I mean, i love the cast and all and I applaud the dedication and devotion, but there's just so much plot ridiculousness one can handle. AND im at my wit's end with this drama. lol For goodness sake he just cured breast cancer in the last episode. What's next ? Aids?
I think dr jin is bad luck. Everyone around him gets sick. And all always coincidentally when he's around to save them. lol if they would just stay away from him, they will be healthy.

I for one hate extensions they are mainly fillers since the writer didn't plan them and they have to write whatever to fill up the space, all extensions fail, maybe there is an excemption to the rule but I haven't found the drama that worked with the extension so even though I am sad and I am going to miss AGD I wish for a good ending. I really enjoy it and not looking forward to finges JiHoo's face as if he has a stomach ache when he is in love and his blank stare when he is not makes me want to punch him. No expression on his face at all. Oh well, at least my summer was happy with AGD even though MaeHRi and Colin ruined it for me I want them to go out together into the sunset and not see them ever again. Thanks for the recaps I wanted to watch Dr Jin next but now I have mix feelings about it.

oh god... they really didn't get it, didn't they?
as if 2 more episodes can save this hysterical drama. Well, unless the leads die or baby in a jar take over the world, I don't think it would make it better.
like everyone else, props to head2no. strong-willed like no other.
Head2No,
we know you are reading this. I'm sending you a lot of virtual never-ending open bar for you & hugs. Be strong!!! You can do it!!
