Namgoong Min To Deliver On Ratings Promise He Made For “Chief Kimâ€

 

On February 14, Namgoong Min‘s management agency, 935 Entertainment, released a statement saying, “Namgoong Min will be fulfilling the ratings promise he made for “Chief Kim;†however, due to his busy shooting schedule, an exact date and location have not been decided upon as of yet.â€

Btw, there is some mistake in the description post: 'Chief Kim' airs on Wed & Thur, not Thur & Fri.

nah, it's really thur-fri but for kbsworld channel only XD

remember my post here about streaming via youtube? you can watch chief kim there; legal, free, and with eng subs. they have their own schedule for drama etc~

Xsportnews via Naver: 'Misaeng' to 'Chief Kim', refreshing office dramas that viewers go crazy over

1. [+1530, -26] Chief Kim deals with real problems we face in society but at the same time they do it in a way that's humorous so it naturally promotes awareness about those problems.  The script, acting, and characters are all good too~

2. [+1384, -58] Lee Sungmin's acting in Misaeng was the top... ã…Ž

3. [+1366, -57] Actors need to act in order to develop themselves, more actors who have trained very hard need to come out like Nam Goongmin and Ra Miran.. Nam Goongmin, let's go for the daesang!

4. [+896, -30] Chief Kim is pleasant, refreshing and sometimes touching ã…‹ã…‹ It's so fun

5. [+898, -46] Chief Kim is so fun ã…Žã…Ž Nam Goongmin, let's get the daesang this time!

6. [+164, -2] Do you guys really think it'd be fun if they 100% portrayed how office life is?  I don't take Chief Kim too seriously so it's fun for me to watch

7. [+160, -4] Chief Kim is like a refreshing version of Misaeng!!  People need this kind of refreshing flow in a drama!!

8. [+164, -9] Misaeng is fun to watch even now.  It reminds me a lot of my own self when I was still a beginner in the workplace world, made me cry a bunch of times too ã…Žã…Ž To all worker rookies and the misaengs out there, hwaiting!!!

9. [+134, -4] I bet that with the current troubled situation we're in right now and with the citizens' troubles rising, Chief Kim serves as a refreshing drama that gives strength and a bit of comfort to citizens.

10. [+144, -9] Chief~~~~~♡

The Most-Loved Television Programs In February As Chosen By Korean Viewers

 

Gallup Korea has once again complied the results from its monthly survey of the most popular Korean television programs.

 

For February, 1,003 domestic Korean viewers voted for their favorite shows, which not only included dramas and variety programs, but also culture shows as well.

 

JTBC’s “Ssulzun,†a talk show that solely focuses on social commentary, took first place with 11.2 percent of the votes. This marks the first time a program centered around current events has placed first in this monthly-conducted survey.

 

The show first premiered back in 2013, and while its overall popularity was on-and-off for a couple of years, a panel change in January 2016 caused it to enter the top 10 and has consistently maintained a similar position since then. It recently increased to being one of the top three most-loved Korean television programs during the past three months.

 

Despite being on a seven-week long broadcasting hiatus, “Infinite Challenge†has maintained its spot in second place for the month of February. Always a crowd favorite, the variety show previously was first place for an impressive 27 months, until “Goblin†overtook it just last month, in January 2017, as the most-voted program.

 

YFQZEsK.jpg

 

Monday-Tuesday evening dramas seem to be the major contenders from the small screen, as KBS, SBS, and MBC’s productions from this time slot have all placed in the top 20. New additions on the chart, “Defendant†took the slight lead in third place, followed by “Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People†right behind it in fourth place. Meanwhile, the recently-ended “Hwarang†placed 16th.

 

Other dramas in the top 10 included “Chief Kim†in 10th place, “Still Loving You†in seventh place, and “Blow Breeze†in fifth place, tied with KBS2’s outdoor variety program “2 Days & 1 Night.†Another culture show, “We Want to Know,†also placed seventh, while variety show “Ask Us Anything†came in at ninth place.

 

Some more new additions to the overall top 20 chart are “New Journey to the West 3†at 13th place, and OCN’s crime thriller drama “Voice†tied for 17th place with SBS’s “Running Man.â€

 

What were some of your favorite shows in February?

Still 17% today but this episode has a really intriguing cliffhanger, I hope ratings will increase in the next week.

 

 

 

 

most of them said it's a frustating episode for this week. they want to fight director seo ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

 

 

from that article, [+1849][-53] shouted how junho was so annoying and [+1097][-25] about director seo was really too much XD

7 Of The Most Memorable Quotes From “Chief Kimâ€

 

There are reasons that KBS2’s “Chief Kim†is dominating ratings despite the complete lack of an eye-catching title or the skepticisms that followed the term “office comedy.†How funny could “Chief Kim†really be? 

 

In addition to Namgoong Min’s hilarious, cathartic acting and his endearing “frenemy†bromance with 2PM’s Junho, whose villain character is quite lovable, the show is a savage satire of today’s society.

 

Here are some of Chief Kim’s most memorable quotes:

 

 

 

“You know what the most beautiful part of human relationships is? Splitting the pot. What’s the one trend that never changes in Korea? It’s stealing money! There’s not one corner of Korea that’s not rotten, not one place that’s not lax. How amazing is that? It’s rip-off heaven!â€

(Episode 1, when Chief Kim is convincing the night club manager that he shouldn’t be afraid to rip people off.)

 

“Bravery? Bullshit. Korean companies can’t make money if they don’t play tricks. And Koreans. They’ll spew shit about the unfair society and whatnot and then turn right around to call whistleblowers traitors and cuss them out.â€

(Episode 1, when Chief Kim’s secretary Gwang Sook sees an article about a whistleblower and comments on how brave he/she was.)

 

“Principles and attitudes need to be corrected. You only steal already stolen money. Only steal dirty money. That way they can’t report you either. Don’t be lazy, and be sincere. The early mutt gets the warm shit.

(Episode 1, when Chief Kim teaches Gwang Sook how to safely steal money.)

 

“What’s right is what’s considered right, because that’s reality. If you live according to what’s [actually] right, it’s hard. And then the jokes on you.â€

(Episode 3, when Chief Kim reponded to Yoon Ha Kyung’s (Nam Sang Mi’s) question asking if what’s right is right or if what’s considered right is right.)

 

“Is the accounting division just a bunch of pushovers? Are we all ATMs? If your father’s the CEO, are you allowed to leave all common sense in the basement parking garage? You asshole with a bunch of udon noodles for brains! You gonna tattle to your dad? If I were your father, I’d be too embarrassed to come to work!â€

(Episode 4, when Chief Kim puts the CEO’s son in his place.)

 

“It’s not that they don’t care about delivery workers, it’s that they don’t care about people, period.â€

(Episode 5, Chief Kim’s response when the TQ Courier Service labor union unloads their frustrations to Chief Kim about TQ’s treatment of them.)

 

“(To the CEO’s son) Director, when being a pain in the ass, consider the situation and the people around you first. Got it?â€

(Episode 5, when Chief Kim runs into the CEO’s son in the lobby.)

 

 

 

Production company Logos Film said, “Directly reflecting realities of Korean society with humor and satire, writer Park Jae Bum’s dialogue really hits home with viewers. The combination of the oh-so-cathartic, straightforward lines and Namgoong Min’s acting is creating wonders in this drama.â€
