-

1. [+625, -3] Nine could've easily hit 30% in viewer ratings if they were on public broadcast.

2. [+484, -3] To all the people who don't understand how Nine got #1, please go watch the drama. You'll know why. And make sure you shower beforehand because once you start the drama, you're never going to stop.

3. [+422, -1] Nine was amazing, it was like watching an American drama

4. [+388, -1] tvN has way better dramas than the public broadcast channels lately. Varieties too.

5. [+376, -4] Nine really is the best. Lee Jin Wook was amazing as well. His emotional gazes were perfect and on point... a drama I'll never be able to forget.

6. [+301, -2] There hasn't been a drama like Nine over the past five years.

7. [+291, -2] I have no objections to Nine winning #1. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to. It was the best drama of my life.

8. [+225, -2] Nine's production level was on par with any American drama.

9. [+195, -2] Nine has raised my standards, it's driving me crazy ㅜㅜ Now all of the public broadcast dramas seem so immature and boring... ㅜㅜ I Hear Your Voice is what's keeping me hanging on these days..

10. [+177, -7] Nine was truly a work of art. No idols, perfect production quality, perfect acting, just utter perfection

 

The last comment was wrong though there's ZE:A's Hyungsik in it he played the younger version of the main character (well ZE:A is kinda nugu tbh in SK)

 

I do agree with number 4 tho i can't find any variety shows that can top The Genius and dramas like Nine and Reply 1997

speechless

[Danie_Chou]

I agree Tvn dramas are really good 

but I didn't watch this one 

[whatdoyouthink]

nine is definitely one of the best if not the best drama this year.

i prefer jinwook acting than hyesoo but whatever.

[mskpopfan]

can't blame the last comment... i had no idea the guy was an idol either, i thought he was a rookie actor since that was the first time i saw him. he was good

 

 

and i really recommend Nine for anyone who's looking for a kdrama to watch! the lead actor isn't too bad to look at either   he was really great. school 2013 started off great for me, but i felt like it fell a bit short along the way. the writers started focusing too much on the bromance (and i adore kim woo bin and lee jong suk), but it could've been so much better if they didn't

What's Nine about?

[Chunface]

i think im gonna watch nine

[Jeffrey Jung]

What's Nine about?

A man who has the ability to time travel to the past to resolve crimes (mostly murders) but he only has nine chances (hence the title) but other risks soon shows themselves as he attempt to stop the ultimate puppeteer behind these events not much romance scene though

 

But UNGF this drama is comparable to any US series right now

I do not mind no romance. Hmm I might check it out then.

[25%Cotton]

tbh, if it's a kdrama then "no romance" just makes it better. sure, i really like there to be romance plots in the shows/movies i watch, but kdramas in particular have a knack for making them awful black holes.

School 2013!!

[hiramekii♥]

Yay School 2013 made it on the list.

[XUANYI]

Agree with this comment. 

[Kr4M]

Nine....is really amazing...Song Jae Jung is really the best.....looking forward to her next drama....

[Skibop!!]

Where can I watch these dramas?

[YIXINGISM]

Nine sounds interesting..

[Penis Intolerant]

oooh I just might watch Nine next week after finishing up a few papers :]

I assume TVn is some cable company.  I think this is true in the US, too; cable shows are doing better than public broadcast shows.  Pubic broadcast shows have been losing a lot of viewership... SPN did the best the last season or something (in terms of gaining and not losing viewers), which is how you know things are extremely dire.

[Hoplz]

Lol agree!

Nine and school 2013 were the best

Nine so many twists and craziness in one drama. My favorite drama so far this year

[✽aya]

school 2013 is one of the best korean dramas, forget 2013.

[Leo's Candy Jelly Ho]

School 2013 <3 first drama I had watched in a while and it was just amazing! Definitely my favorite drama ever!

[AlwaysDreaming]
