Our class decoration is going on very good, it's super cute this year! With Lingli and Yilin in the committee, they're just like working so hard on the decoration this year and stuff! :D
I LOVE GOONG S!!!!! :DLEE JOON = <3I think it's just me, unfortunately. Let's see what the Chinese paper said on Tuesday 060207. The first episode of Goong S in Korea received 15.3% ratings, but the last episode only 9%. There are three reasons as to why Goong S did not fare well in Korea, deduced by the critics. So here goes.
1. The first season of Goong was a huge success, because of the new concepts like Korean royalty, the Hwang Sil, traditional Korean culture, many people found the new idea very refreshing and that attracted the huge amount of viewers. Whereas when Goong S was made and they played the whole Korean royalty thing again, it already lost it's appeal to the audience and viewers. The viewers also had high expectations for Goong S thus when they watched the show and it gave them a oh it's just like that feel, they lost their interest in it.
2. As most of the actors and actresses in the show were first timers, they did not have very good acting skills to be displayed in Goong S. Lee Hoo, played by Se7en, was under the spotlight as it was also his first drama. But the character of Lee Hoo was similar to Chae Gyung, and Se7en's acting did not really shine. Also as a newbie, he only did what was required on the surface and not in depth, thus many viewers have expressed disappointment with his acting.
3. There was also alot of competition from other shows showing at exactly the same time, and all of them were fighting for the most viewers. Compared to Lee Hoo, the main characters of the other two shows from KBS and SBS were more likeable, so maybe this had a big impact on the viewer's ratings too.
Okay, done. See that's why it's the best option to watch on Youtube! You don't need to choose, because then you can watch 2 at the same time, you can watch one and load one, and it's faster, better, and more efficient!! The quality may not be that good, but I'm not going for the quality anyway. I think I'm getting on with the speed and I like the show I'm looking forward!! :D
