IU looks very pretty in these pictures.
As for ML/SH, I was so confused when I was in Korea because it looked like they were only playing 30 minutes of the drama when I saw it and they had it on the weekend which was the full hour that I was expecting.
I mean if they show it during the weekday and the weekend, wouldn't the ratings not go up?!? Viewers can opt to watch the drama on the weekend and watch something else during the weekday. This whole thing has left me puzzled as to what the broadcast is doing.
Ah well, at least the level of vitriol against IU seem to have decreased significantly.
By the way, I can now say with confidence that old ladies like that drama that has Park Bo Gum. One of my relatives, in her 70s, enjoys this shows but she admits that she watches it because she has so much time on her hand and this drama is to her taste.
One interesting that I would like to note about Korea is that stores, shopping malls, and whatnot seem to open around 10 am and close around 10 pm. So, does that mean that 10 pm slot is like aimed toward the more elderly?
Don't mind me. I'm just rambling now. :P

Assuming that all of you are watching SH, who do you guys prefer: 8th prince or 4th prince? For me, I still prefer 8th even after episode 11. 4th has always been too possessive and I seriously hate lines like "you are my person."
I was a big fan of HS + 8th but the recent episode has made me lean toward the 4th. For real life, the shipper in me favors KHN + IU.
4th seems like a guy who lets his actions speak for him while the 8th has loyalties that he puts above HS.
And, yes, @asimenios it's sad o see this thread down so much.

I honestly have an irl struggle telling the difference between left and right.
I sometimes mean to say left but say right too. Although perhaps that's not quite what you meant?
I want to assume that I'm included here but I think you're referring to our resident troll queen.

And KHN is love. I am honestly kinda sad that the drama didn't do as well as we were all hoping for. I still think that IU really does have a knack for acting but yes,she does have some areas to improve on. I'm sure that if she wants to continue pursuing acting because it makes her happy that we will all still support her. And maybe somewhere along the way,those stubborn keyboard haters will see the light.
But I am also eagerly anticipating musician IU's comeback as well cuz I miss her music. I want her to come back and make another revolution or something.
And I really want IU and KHN to get married maybe five,ten years from now. I can understand Blue better these days.

Finally,thanks for the updates everyone. I seem to only be able to come here on weekends to check up on the latest news there days.I'm with you. I've always been a rather casual shipper but this IU+KHN ship is really something else.
While I am sad that the drama is not receiving the love that I think it deserves, I really hope that IU will not be giving up on acting.
Those bullies are just putting down IU's acting blindly. To me IU's acting, from what I've seen of it, is not that far fetched, esp for a person from the future.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that she'll blow those bullies out of the water with her acting.
Well, time for me to go to a meeting.

Ok folks. Rejoice. Maybe. After all the Naver hate about ML, here's something positive from pann:

Mmm... I think is better for you to postpone it =/ Also, being that worried will make you not being able to truly enjoy the trip.
-------
Those haters are so nasty...they have zero respect for Shin Bong Sun...they are the worst. IU has a pretty and cute face, they can't accept that because of their blind hate.
Thank you. I am leaning toward doing that but haven't quite reached that point yet. Unfortunately, we already made plans and I am not sure how easy it is to reschedule it all. :( I guess I can ask and see how this episode with N. Korea is being viewed by the general populace and go from there. It's just that N. Korea situation is like the boy who cried wolf once too many and no one is sure when to take them seriously.The fact that they are now asking for international aid for their flooding problem is just adding credence to the charge that they wanted attention and aid.As for those k-netz, I am not sure why but it just came to me that they are a bunch of cyber bullies. For all their complaints against bullying, they seem to do an awful lot of it. Instead of k-netz, I feel that we should call them for what they really are, bullies.They don't care about facts and help spread falsehood by perpetuating it and sometimes even start the lies.by everything that's going on right now, do you mean in terms of politics and stuff? If you're worried about seeing/hearing bad stuff about IU while you're there, I rarely if ever heard Koreans discussing Kdramas or K-celebrities out loud in public when I was there.
I am not too worried about hearing negative things about IU on the streets. Like you said, people are too busy with other things to discuss things like dramas and celebrities.
I do feel that the comments pulled by NBuzz are a very skewed view of what Korea thinks. First, the comments are mainly pulled from the entertainment section and it's no different than reading a Western entertainment/gossip section.
-
I was like "oh cool, yunho and seunggi are watching her drama" when I first read it and then it hit me like a minute later and I screamed lmao. tbh it sounds weird, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're completely okay and still friends.
Well, I read and thought ... Awkward.
I wish that they'd left off the mention of him. Anything with both their names draws attention and trolls+antis.
It's unfortunate that while they may be fine with each other, there are some fans of the -person--I--will-not-mention that can't seem to let go. It's unfortunate since this group falls into the troll/antis trap so easily turn to the blame game/slurs/insults.
I sometimes wonder how old their fans are that they can't see the obvious bait/trap. Oh well.
On a serious note, I am getting really worried about my upcoming trip to Korea with everything that is going on right now.
I am seriously considering cancelling my trip. What do you guys think? Should I cancel/postpone my trip?
-

The lady on the right is Shin Bong Sun - she and IU always joke that they look like each other. She's a gagwoman.
I think you meant to say the lady on the left is SBS. While there are instances when I can see some resemblance, majority of the times I just don't see it. Shrug .... I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
The one thing that I hate is that people think SBS is not pretty/beautiful and saying IU resembles SBS is like saying she's ugly.
I personally don't think SBS is ugly but those k-netz who think so mean it as an insult. Although IU doesn't seem to take it that way.

I dont understand people saying IU doesnt suit historical dramas, I mean maybe we arent looking with the same eyes lol I think she looks absolutely stunning with traditional styling...what are they even saying



I am so sorry!!! I meant to push the + button but accidentally hit the - button!!!!
Please accept my apology and I'll go + your other comment to balance out my accidental -. By the way, those are really pretty!!!!
-
I tried watching that Moonlight Draw by Clouds nonsense, yeah but no.
Really?!? Although it may be petty of me, good!

I was getting tired of hearing how great that drama was.

Those IU bashers go on MD and chase after IU article to say how awful she is that I have started to dislike that drama even though I have yet to see it.
Although it just hit me that many of those negative comments are like 'give IU less screen time', 'she's ruining it; take her out', etc.
Do these people know that the drama is prerecorded?
-
This couple makes me smile and cry at the same time. They just seem to fit so well!!!
I know IU has a real life bf but I sometimes wish that she didn't.
It may be selfishness on my part but I am also one of those folks who never really got on the IU/JKH ship.
-
I think so too. Viewers will pick the one that grabs their attention and stay with it no matter how bad it is later on (unless the competitor receives a lot of positive feedback)
Sigh... I hope ML can overcome this and still have its rating climb up. Although if it doesn't, I'll blame it on the director since the drama has picked up and it's much more interesting. I'm still hoping that people give the drama a try.
Edit: By the way, one of the guy commenters said that this drama is more attractive to females vs males (too many men and not enough females). heh.
I can't see the notifications from the thread because of all the RV and BTS threads notificatinos so I don't come in

Let's get this thread back to life
Hi! Totally agree but I am a semi-lurker myself when I am short on time. I think @blue and @asimenios and few others generally keep the thread interesting and moving along. I generally just read this thread and sometimes chuckle along at their witty/funny comments.
-
This is cute. And IU definitely has come a long way @cutie_let_let.
I have a question for you guys. I was reading an interesting article/comment from a k-site and it was saying that the ratings are usually decided in the first 3 episodes nowadays.
Do you guys think that is the case? Was it a mistake by the director to load the confusing/not as interesting part into the first 2-3 episodes?!?
-
I don't know about everyone but I am working and taking short breaks to check in on IU thread.Where's everyone? This thread moves so slowly these days. But then again, everybody has work to do. I swear homework has succeeded in bringing out the lurker in me.
That video of IU and the boys is so cute though. Lol at KHN. It's confirmed. He's either a fanboy or having a crush on IU.

I am trying to get everything ready for my vacation later this month which means less time for leisure activities. :(
Well, thank you all in advance for IU news and updates about the drama.

Album consulting with Loen Cho?
Says Lunch in a long while. Consulting about an album.
Depending on who tweeted that out, it could be with Cho PD. Shrug.
But I am excited that she's consulting about an album!
2. [+337, -59] The cast's acting is so good.. It's such a waste to see this be buried by other dramas
This comment came from Nate ??
Ok I'll assume that this person excludes IU and Baek from the cast he/she is talking about
(sorry for being too negative cos I don't trust Nate)There are still detractors of course but I saw people commenting positively about IU's acting too. They agree with many of us here that it isn't as bad as those antis make it out to be and that IU has some extreme antis. Although that person also noted that antis are the flip side of fans and with much fame, the not so desirables come with it.
-
Oh np, I got you! Good comments started since last week actually...the rebrodcast also helped a lot in terms of reviews. The story finally picked up and we can see more development between Haesoo, Wang Wook and Wang So. Its getting more interesting with each episode!

Final spam before I go sleep lol IU looked so lovely






IU looks so pretty!!!
I really like this picture.

I'll have to try to make sure that I have the TV on this drama while I am in Korea! Or maybe I can just turn the TV in my hotel room to this drama even when I am out.

-
Thank you!!! I have bee out of commission with a flu and haven't had the chance to watch the drama but it's good to hear that there are finally good reactions!!
edit:
I saw from some of the real-time comments that some of the people were complaining about KHN's character falling for HaeSoo since his current wife and HaeSoo are related.
BUT they seem to forget the that was not unusual in those days.
Also, there are still comments of how HaeSoo/IU is too modern.
Like duh!!!!They obviously have not been watching the drama but are there to just sh*t on the drama and IU.
-
I went to Korea last year and Knetz are definitely blowing hot air as I didn't see anyone who looked like IU.
As for recommended places:
- Loen company HQ
- Namsan Tower
- Cheonggyecheon
- Bukchon Hanok Village
- any of the palaces (though according to a Korean who lived there and was one of the resident advisors for the dorm I stayed at dur12qing summer abroad, she said if you've seen one palace you've seen them all since they look the same)
- Insadong
- Myeongdong (you can get an IU T-money card at one of the Kpop shops in the Myeongdong subway station)
- Hongdae/Sincheon/Ewha
Thank you! I will definitely try some of your recommendations!
I am excited about my trip since it's been over a decade since my last visit. I won't mention the exact years as that may date me.
Can I get the IU t-money at the airport instead the subway station?
-
Welllllll ..... This is a video that is a gift for the shipper in me.
I mean can you say body language.

@xallista, how lucky is that fan that she got to meet IU while shopping!
By the way folks, I am going on a trip to Korea later this month!!!
I can now verify if things have changed so much that girls looking like IU are dime a dozen as K-netz are claiming or if they're just blowing hot air.
Anyone want to recommend some must see places?

Yes, luckily it didn't gain a lot of traction. Even Nate was hesitant to go that far.huh really?
This person had nothing to back it up and was just making weird, defamatory statements.
By the way, sorry for the long lapse in response. I was driving and just got home.
On the topic of drama, i am happy that they may now do a better job with the OST!!
-
comments on her acting are not the same as defamation. let's get real for a minute tho? it sucks but when you're as famous as iu you're going to have haters :( comes with the territory as shit as that is
Comments on her acting is something that her company can't take care of but some of the vile comments that spout out of pan.nate talk section should be taken of. I do periodically browse there and even those Nate users commented that some of the threads created there crossed the line and crossed into defamation/libel.
Some antis try seeding these "scandals" there. It was done quite successfully for her last comeback. Most recently there was a thread started with IU breakup which stated some vile and nasty things about IU. Loen should earn their pay and squash these outrageous lies esp when I noted that IU fans commented that they screen capped and sent it to Loen.
-
don't think anyone is criticising *her* speech but the ones who were *already* in goryeo tbh. it's just odd how some speak in saeguk speech while others don't?
There are, in the k-nets comments and some people here too. These a**wipes up vote all the negative comments with mutiple accounts (some people in the k comments were saying that these people consistently go to IU articles and they seem to have about 10 accounts each to up vote the negative comments so others can bandwagon). It's pitiful really but the fact that even the PD knows of this speaks volumes about this situation. Leon should stop being a pansy and get tough with some of these extreme antis. They need to make an example of them instead if letting them off like they did with that one person who spread lies about IU, including her being pregnant. Remember what happened to him? Fed Loen some bull and Loen convinced IU into letting the guy off.

Why does the korean entertainment industry put value in netizens' comments? That baffles me since of the 50 million Koreans, they cater to unknown people online. Although I'm glad that the SBS drama head defended IU, it's unnecessary. What are they going to do? Have protests? Lol
I agree with you on this but I also appreciate that he saw the situation for what it was.
While might have been better to just ignore it, perhaps his way of handling it was better?
By the way, you notice some folks, even here, are ripping on IU's way of speaking (saguk) but don't even seem to know that Hae Soo is a modern character who just go stuck in that period?!?
Does this not point out the fact that they're not really even looking at the story and perhaps are only picking up bits here and there for the sole purpose of criticizing it?
I mean if you really watched it, how can you miss a critical fact which the whole story hinges on?!?
I call b.s. for those who are criticizing IU's acting for the way she speaks or the way she looks. They can go jump off a cliff.

Probably...she is really passionate in what she does...but I think even IU will fill discouraged because of this. Because is supposed to be a big budget production. Maybe if it wasn't big budget, they will feel more at ease with the low ratings. I know IU is strong anyways.
I guess I am more optimistic. During the time that I've been following IU, the one thing I noticed is her dedication and her work ethics. She seems to be the type that is dedicated to whatever she works on and I believe that she'll get there.
It doesn't help that she seems to have some very dedicated antis who are willing to hound her to levels that require some serious dedication. Perhaps I am being very biased but I believe that she can become a very good actress.
If you look at KHN's acting resume, he has more acting experience than I thought and perhaps this is what IU needs, more experience.

Hey folks.
I'll share my opinion on what is happening and why the antis are so vehemently attacking IU/drama.
First, I think that they were being very preemptive and trying to kill the anticipation/prevent people from checking out the drama and just give it a bad rep overall. This way, they are trying to create a self fulling prophecy.
Like, they say "oh the drama is horrible, the acting is bad.... so and so is bad.... it has too many idols...she doesn't have an actress's face...." before it even gets started.
This may or may not make some people just not even look at the drama, depending on how bad it is.
I am of the opinion that there are enough sheeps out there that it can have some impact on the ratings.
Now, for the optimistic news. I was scanning the real-time comments for IU and, while there are the antis out in force saying she's horrible, people (non-IU fans) who have watched it are saying "hey, she's not that bad", "she's actually pretty decent."
The director did not do anyone any favors with the way things were done with the closeups and the OST but I see a lot of potential with ML/SH.

I agree that it was very inconvenient. However, there seems to be more people out (People under 40s) at night. At least it seemed like they were more active at night. Taxis were abundant but I am not sure if they spoke English or not.
Oh, @hugeboiMinoswife, it may interest you to know that one of your bias Seolhyun's (sp?) pictures were in quite a few places, more so than Suzy.
