'Love Rain' stands still

KBS2 TV drama “Love Rain” continues with its snail pace.

According to AGB Nielsen Media Research on April 25th, “Love Rain” aired on the 24th, rated 5.6%. This is 0.4% higher than the previous episode.

However this drama is on a standstill mode and has the lowest viewing percentage compared to other dramas. SBS “Fashion King” and MBC “Lights and Shadows” rated 9.4% and 23.6%.

“Love Rain” is significantly far from “Lights and Shadows" and the gap with “Fashion King” is also widening. Unlike viewers’ expectations, it was rated as cliché since the very start and even though the scene of the drama has changed in generations, it still doesn’t attract any attention.

While Jang Geun Suk (Seo Joon) and YoonA’s (Jeong Ha Na) love mode has become official, many wonder if the viewing rate will turn direction and go up again.

Lee Joon gives Tiffany a big hug

MBLAQ’s Lee Joon gave Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany a big hug to overcome his anxiety. 

On the April 24th episode of SBS ‘Strong Heart’, Lee Joon revealed his phobia of exchanging greetings with Girls’ Generation. He explained, “I’m just too shy to greet Girls’ Generation. If I were to smile while greeting them, I’m afraid that they might think I’m weird.”

Tiffany confirmed, “Everytime we meet one another on music programs, Lee Joon would avoid eye contacts with us and went out of sight.”

Eventually, Park Kyung Lim offered some advice to Lee Joon and demonstrated a way to greet Tiffany. As coached, Lee Joon approached Tiffany and greeted her happily with a big hug. He continued with a short “Gee” dance and ended with a respectful 90-degree bow. 

Tiffany reveals she gets stressed over airport fashion

Girls’ Generation member Tiffany confessed that she’s been under some stress because of “airport fashion“.

On April 24th, a staff member from SBS‘s ‘Strong Heart‘ shared that on the recent filming of the show, Tiffany revealed, “Before, I used to go to the airport without caring about what I wore. But as airport fashion started becoming a hot topic, I began to care more.”

She continued, “On the days that I dress up from head to toe, there are no reporters. But strangely enough, when I come back from a performance abroad with no makeup on while wearing slippers, I get a lot of pictures taken,” sharing her worries and frustrations about airport fashion.

In addition to Tiffany, the latest recording of ‘Strong Heart’ included guests such as Ivy, Lee Joon, Kim Na Young, and Park Kyung Lim.

《爱情雨》张根锡与允儿的“三段热吻”不被观众买账，收视率下滑

KBS2电视台周一周二剧《爱情雨》中，男女主角正式上演浪漫感情戏，收视率却意外下滑。 


4月23日播出的《爱情雨》中，张根锡和允儿上演吻戏，两人之间的感情戏迅速发展。剧中，两人在喷泉旁先后上演了三次亲吻，被称为“三段喷泉热吻”，这是剧组为稳定4月17日上升到6.6%的收视率而做出的战略性安排，结果却没有得到预期的收效，全韩国收视率反而降到了5.2%。 对于张根锡与允儿的演技，外界清一色都是好评，认为两人的表现足以对得起韩流明星的身价。


然而，对于电视剧本身，评价却颇为苛刻，认为剧情非常老套，显而易见的情节发展和平面的人物角色令观众感到厌烦。甚至有分析认为，尹锡瑚导演至今还未摆脱10年前《冬季恋歌》中的感性套路。 某电视台相关者表示“这部剧让人感觉像是为国外市场制作的一样，不太符合国内观众的口味。


电视剧版权已经高价买往日本等地，获得了巨额收益，至于播出后会得到什么评价，尚无法预测”，“虽说期望越大，失望也就越大，但我们还是希望，这部剧能在国外获得良好口碑”，表示了遗憾心情。
