That's weird. No comments? Anybody home??

I kept hoping FAITH will have higher ratings, being an already-running show. But I can keep up the hopes.

I have high hopes for oooh lala spouses as well!!! I still have gaksital withdrawal

As Mr Spock would say: "Fascinating!"
I'm happy for Ohlala Couple (just a bit more and it will be perfect) and I think than Faith has what it deserves.
I was a bit disappointed by the ratings for the Horse Doctor but then I agree: It will increase.
About Nice Guy/Arang and TTBY: For once I agree with the Korean viewers.
And about the good comedies and rom/coms missing on the horizon, I SO agree. Funny how dramaland has its cycles.

Now that we get all these awesome recaps, I never watch an episode unless I'm really looking forward to it!

I am a Kim Jung Eun fan and I am so happy for her and her drama. Really ooohlalalalaa. So happy for her!!! I hope they stay ahead of the pack for the rest of their run!

I enjoy Oohlala Spouses, the first few minutes of the first episode reminded me of Gaksital.

A dose of comedy in Oohlala Spouses and faith in Faith which is now getting so much better; I've found 2 balanced Monday-Tuesday drama ^^

No comment for Horse Healer as I haven't watched it with sub; and I'm very disappointed that Viki didn't get the licence to sub HH :(

Yep, we want to root for the little guys but eventually the big guys with the 50 eps will take over. I havent watch Horse Healer yet. I'm guessing I wont get to see Jo Seung-woo until eps 10-ish so not rushing to watch it.

Gone are the days of back to back national dramas with crazy 60%+ ratings. A drama with 20% ratings these days is considered a hit.

I wonder if anyone's recapping Ohlala. :o
Curious!

Aside question since you mentioned Salaryman. How come no one ranked it in Dramas Ratings thread despite the obvious fact that at least three of you watched it and one of you made ​​a stunning recaps?
Just wondered...

I will start OHlala soon...but will still be watching faith...it's like moderate dosage of kdrama drug for me...addicting still...

Faith just do not appeal to me after the first few episodes.Even with Lee Min Ho there,I was bored.Maybe because I cant stand his hair and what he's wearing.I miss City Hunter's fashion sense.
Nice Guy is my latest drama crack, very unpredictable.

Ah, just the article I've been waiting for! Javabeans, you must have read my mind! Thank you!!!

(Goes off to read.)

Oohlala Spouses was really a nice surprise. I loved the first episode so much that I can't wait for the second one. I found it really refreshing and kind of light (for now) which I do appreciate a lot. I hope they'll stay on top but I also wish for the other shows to do fine as well, maybe I am asking to much lol

NOT a fan of long episode drama so i think i won't watch it!! as for oh lala it seem fun so i will watch it..
now i just rooting for faith right now~~~ it start out really good n interesting in episode 1, n how they claim they hv big production cost!! lately i feel they are cutting down all the budget.
there's really something wrong with the directing although the cast is superb it's really a waste~~~

I love Faith, and am also hoping it rebounds in ratings as it nears the home stretch. Lee minho is perfection and I keep wanting his work in it recognized. Sigh.

Tried to get on the oohlala bandwagon since I adore shin hyunjoon but I just can't deal with Kim jungeun. Sigh. Oh well.

already interested with ohlalala by watching the teaser, i only see ep 1 of faith and stop to watch it, i'm not really interested with horse healer but i will try it first

Hey, I always wonder, they only have 3 national broadcast, right? When all the 3 ratings summed together, it will only be like 30 %. And usually cable channels only got 0-2 % rating. So, where does the rest rating go? Do they also count people who don't watch anything at those time slots?

Are we getting recaps for Oohlala Spouses? I hope so. OMG this show is just great!

I was wondering, if it was the Gaksital factor? Like, two actors are from that drama and maybe some viewers were curious. At least, that's the reason why _I_ watched epi 1, in the first place. *_*

It was hilarious, though, alright, and deserves to be No. 1 (atm). As I was expecting it to be. That first sequence in the 30s, though, came totally out of the left field. I was like: "Is this supposed to be a Gaksital parody now. What?" But good job on the background story. If those two didn't have that tragic love story thing going on, I wouldn't care one bit for them to get back together again (even now, I'm not really sure about that)... More than laughing I was cheering for wifey to finish him off (or off him, har) good. I just wanted to strangle that piece of %/&()%&/ ...

why don't you guys watch ohlala couple on dramafever
and its subs already (epi1)...

Thanks for the recap? (is this really considered a recap?) imma newb. :)

Anyways, i have to agree with javabeans about the take on all 3 of these shows.

I was under the impression that Kdramas were not allowed to [intentionally] make viewers laugh. So to have oohlala focus on the com of romcom is, seriously, a mind bender for me. Bring it ON!!!

And 50 episodes of a vet checking out horses seems, well, a little perverted...especially when the vet is wearing silk robes, NO? Here in Texas, we'd have our hides tanned for wearing them kind of duds out to the barn. At 50 episodes, i agree with java beans...OY.

and it's so true about Faith. i think about that show a lot. partly because Korean history is unchartered territory for me but mostly because this drama really gets real with the relationships. i'm very impressed and moved by that.

anyways, thanks for keeping us up to date on the ratings.

I'm currently watching Faith and despite the low rating, I find the drama enjoyable. I especially like the character development and the subtle, quiet romantic plot (I ship Eun-Soo and Choi Young so hard that it worries everyone around me. Oh the joy of being addicted).

Despite my personal preferences, I also thought that Faith would have much better chance if the drama had better PD who excels at directing and editing. So I kinda understand why it gets lower rating than other dramas.

On the other hand, I think I might check OhLaLa Couples. I have special spot for both Shin Hyung Joon and Kim Jung Eun. So yay for more drama!! :)

I'm not asking to pressure, , just.. Curious. but IS oohlala spouses getting recapped here at DB? Home is here. :)

Im want to watch The Horse Healer. Lee yoo won all the way. Love her acting

Jo Seung Woo and his wife should've totally starred in this drama. its perfect for them ^_^

I can't wait to start Oolala Spouses! I'm still hanging on to Faith and it's been the only drama I've been keeping up with each week (out of the two I'm currently watching, the other being Arang). School is seriously getting in the way of drama watching fun time. I should just get my education from shows instead.

I'm rooting strongly with The Horse Healer, 2 eps and I'm hooked and not even with the adult cast yet. The story was intriguing so far. And I also loved KJE in Oohlala, she was just awesome as an ajumma, she dared shouting at husband and helped friend with hubby's affair. I can see why ratings shot up, it's all what women want to see in a fun way haha. But I'm not sure if there's enough material for 16eps, I hope so. Love both dramas, Faith is okay but it couldn't capture me a full one hour, not sure why.
Thanks for sharing ^^

This proves that korean netizens are unpredictable. incalculable.

i'm not sure how i feel about oohlala, even after two episodes. i'm inclined to pass it on, and was rather shocked to learn that the ratings were so high. i'm guessing it's the "obvious" choice right now, given the current competition. it's fluffy, light, comedy. faith COULD have been epic (c'mon, lee min-ho and kim hee-sun!!) but it's proved surprisingly dull. haven't checked out horse healer though.

i'm not sure i'm feeling the chemistry in oohlala. kim jung-eun is doing some annoying things with her voice there. maybe i need another week or two to warm up to it. arang is pretty much the only drama that has my attention right now, and even that is waning a bit. want something new!!

My was that a good first episode for Oohlala. I don't mind Kim Jung Eun's acting, it does feel too exaggerated at times though. It's very much like The Fierce Wife, except the wife is very strong willed already, despite some shakeups.

Couldn't get pass ep 2 for "Faith."

Yeah, I know I lasted longer w/ the mess that was "Dr. Jin", but I actually liked Lee Beom-soo's character and his performance (plus "Dr. Jin" was good for the unintentional humor for a while).

Meanwhile, didn't care for either LMH's or KHS's characters, much less their acting.

Definitely going to start watching "Oohlala" - romcoms are my favorite genre and good romcoms are hard to come by ("Secret Garden", "Lie to Me", "Rooftop Prince", "Big" - don't constitute good ones) and I love SHJ.

Been watching "Arang" (mostly for SMA) and while I have been enjoying it, I have been getting behind in watching the eps.

While I am enjoying SMA and LJK play their characters, as well as those who play the deities, I don't find the "big baddies" - the evil mom, the old dude and the romantic rival/evil mom's lackey (both their characters or the actors) to be compelling and kinds lose interest when they get screentime (plus evil mom's face just weirds me out).

When the "big baddies" aren't compelling in a drama like "Arang", it's a pretty major flaw, but the scenes btwn SMA and LJK (and the shaman girl) make it worthwhile.

"The Horse Healer" seems interesting, but not sure if I can stomach starting such a long sageuk when Ji Jin-hee's "The Great Seer" is right around the corner.

Is it just me that cried buckets while watching OHLALA?! Hahaha!

I've been looking forward to Horse Healer, since the actress from 49 Days is there. But then I heard that viki didn't get the license to sub Horse Healer. Is dramafever planning on subbing it? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that any of those two will.

Oh and I've noticed that there are two empty slots in the "In Progress" Recapped Series category. Maybe this means dramabeans is planning to recap both Ooh la la Spouses and Horse Healer! I can hope right?

I am a Korean drama addict..I am so worried, I will have to get some medical advise or drastic action soon..but thanks to mbc for not giving Viki the green light to screen..so I am on withdrawal syndrome ..I refuse to watch Ohlala..I am here to see any recap for Horse Healer..but this write out is enough to keep me entertained .Thanks for this wonderful blog...

Oohlala Spouses !!! ;)
The first drama I've watched in months and I'm rooting for it :D

congratulation to the cast of oh la la spouses.... Great drama.. kje fighting!!!

Oohlala Spouses has in one episode provided me different emotions. It made me laugh, cry, get angry, overwhelmed, happy, sad, and a whole lot more which can be translated by all the smiley symbols. A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!

so many new dramas! but i really wish you could update the list of dramas currently airing, because there are more dramas which recently premiered or will air this week... and i'm referring to 'Can we get married?' on jtbc (wed-thu), 'The great king's dream' on KBS and 'My love, butterfly lady' on SBS, both at the weekend.... and ... i know i 've already mentioned about updating the list....i just want this site to be perfect...

ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE!! <3 the only current drama im thoroughly interested in :') who's with me? :D

I'm actually excited for The Horse Healer, I love sageuks! The first one I've ever watched was Jewel in the Palace/Dae Jang Geum and I loved it so much, it's still one of my favourites today! I need to wait for subs though, since I dont speak Korean ):

I really liked the first episode of ooohlala spouses. I love how ajumma didn't drag her feet with the divorce and made sure she got hers. As a female character, I love her which is very rare. I hope she makes Gaksital's hyung work for his redemption or I'll be very disappointed.
I'm still watching Faith out of loyalty. It's not unwatchable but it's not as good as I wanted it to be. Oh well...
A 50 episode drama? Not unless it has Lee Min-ho, Lee Min-ki AND Lee Jun-ki playing bff's in a rock band or sth.
Just wanted to add my vote for recapping Oohlala and while I'm being annoying, the ratings for Gaksital haven't been added yet(?)

A new season has begun. Oohlala Spouses here I come!

Ooohlala Spouses way VERY good and i wasn't expecting much from it at first tbh. I will be back for more,

Horse Doctor on the other hand is not as epic as they make it out to be. I thought it was horrible. I was already turned off when I heard that Lee Yo Won was in it and her acting is about as exciting as a piece of toast.
