Shining Star Korean Entertainment

Perhaps Lin Youmin's wish at the birthday party was overheard by a passing old man from heaven.

Or maybe the plot of "Dream Couple" has finally unfolded and been recognized by the audience.

In short, in the fifth and sixth episodes, the ratings of "Dream Couple" exploded to 23.6% and 25.4%, and it has the momentum to hit the 30% rating in a big way. Finally, "Hwang Jin Yi"

's corpse, for the first time set foot on the throne of No. 1 ratings in the same period

The explosive and superb acting skills of Lim Woo-min and Han Ye-seul, two "semi-newcomers" who were not well-known at first, have raised the reputation of "Dream Couple" in the hearts of the audience.

It has received rave reviews on the Internet, and some people even called "Dream Couple" the best urban drama in South Korea in the second half of 2006. It is a wonderful TV drama not to be missed!

Zhang Zhexiu and Zhao Anna, a couple who are like vindictive enemies, instantly gained the support of countless people.

At the same time, Han Ye-seul plays Zhao Anna, who seems to be annoying with her arrogant, cold, and sharp character, but Han Ye-seul plays this role to the fullest, especially when educating Jang Cheol-soo's three nephews, she has a lot of witty words,

Various classic lines kept blurting out.

When educating children, Zhao Anna always pointed out the reality of life, the sharpness of the problems, and the bloodshed without mercy, instead of just fabricating a beautiful fairy tale world for the children.

This is more real, more flesh-and-blood, and makes the audience enjoy watching it!

The male and female protagonists worked hard at the same time. Suddenly, the TV series suddenly became a "dream couple", sweeping all kinds of topics and attention!

Compared with "Dream Couple"'s rapid progress, which seemed to be the leading drama in the second half of the year, "Hwang Jin Yi" encountered a big Waterloo, and the ratings of the fifth and sixth episodes fell to the lowest point since its launch!

17.8%,16.4%!

However, not many people paid attention to it, including the crew of "Hwang Jin Yi". These two episodes happened to be a transitional plot, but they happened to coincide with the explosion of the heroine's character in "Dream Couple".

The sudden drop in ratings was unexpected, but reasonable.

"Hwang Jin Yi" is not without its own shining points as an actor.

Needless to say, Ha Ji-won is more than one level higher than Han Ye-seul in terms of popularity and acting skills.

Even though the script has been polished and processed by the Hong sisters and the heroine has become more outstanding, it is still difficult to shake Ha Ji-won.

As for the male actors, although none are as outstanding as Lin Youmin, there is also one who is not afraid of giving in!

Kim Eun Ho is played by Jang Keun Suk.

Jang Keun Suk, who grew up as a child actor, already performed well in "Lovers in Prague", and the role of "Kim Eun Ho" seemed to be tailor-made for him.

With the popularity of "Hwang Jin Yi", the bitter love between Hwang Jin Yi and her first love, Young Master Eun Ho, has also moved countless viewers.

Jang Geun-suk, who plays Master Eun-ho, also gained huge popularity with this role and his typical handsome boy appearance.

Even if it is not as big as Lin Youmin, it can resist to a certain extent Lin Youmin, who has suddenly emerged, and can barely offset the weakness in the role of the male lead.

"Hwang Jin Yi" director Kim Kyu-cheol is full of confidence,

He even said in an interview that even if Kim Eun-ho played by Jang Keun-suk can only be regarded as an important supporting role, his performance will definitely not be worse than Lim Woo-min.

"Hwang Jin Yi" will still take back her own first place in the ratings!

It was obvious that Kim Kyu-cheol was holding back his breath.

Regardless of the actors, investment, publicity, or the audience of the TV series itself, "Hwang Jin Yi" is much better than "Dream Couple", how could it lose!

Kim Kyu-chul was full of confidence, but Jang Keun-suk, who came for the interview with the director, had mixed feelings. He originally thought that even if he was just a supporting role, the ratings of the TV series would not be worse than Lim Woo-min. After all, "Hwang Jin Yi" has Ha Ji-won joining the cast.

It was full of topics from the beginning, otherwise Jang Keun Suk wouldn't have been able to resist calling Lim Woo Min, but now it seems... a bit ridiculous!

At this time, Jang Keun Suk felt an uncontrollable feeling of worry rising in his heart. In his mind, no matter how good "Dream Couple" is, it can only be tied with "Hwang Jin Yi" in terms of ratings.

But for some reason, an anxious mood made him a little uneasy...

Just like Jang Keun Suk's premonition, in the new week's confrontation, "Dream Couple" once again gave "Hwang Jin Yi" a blow in the head, completely knocking it down and recognizing the reality.

"Dream Couple" ratings, 26.3%, 26.9%!

"Hwang Jin Yi" ratings, 16.3%, 17.5%!

The gap of nearly 10% makes the pattern of this ratings battle gradually clear.

Perhaps, the only consolation for "Hwang Jin Yi" is that the role of Kim Eun Ho broke through the siege and gained considerable popularity.

As the plot of "Hwang Jin Yi" progresses, Master Eun Ho's support rate is getting higher and higher, reaching the highest peak in the ninth episode.

Because of the pressure from his family, and the pressure from Hwang Jin Yi's master and mother, Master Eun Ho unfortunately lost the opportunity to stay together with Hwang Jin Yi, and finally died in depression.

Especially when Master Eun-ho's spiritual frame passed by the place where Hwang Jin-yi lived, it stopped at the door and refused to leave. In the end, Hwang Jin-yi cried and covered the coffin with a coat, and then bid farewell to this unforgettable first love.

A supporting role is a supporting role after all. No matter how good Jang Keun Suk is, he can't compare to the protagonist Lim Woo Min. Under Lim Woo Min's suppression, he who should have been focusing on media attention and enjoying the spotlight suddenly dimmed a lot and could only become the one in the film.

The green leaves of the red flowers highlight the excellence of Lin Youmin.

The ratings of the ninth episode finally saved some face for "Hwang Jin Yi", getting rid of the embarrassment of 10+% ratings and reaching 20% ​​again.

However, there was no way he could save himself, and he seemed so helpless in the face of the "dream couple" who were riding all over the place.

In the tenth episode, the ratings of "Dream Couple" have risen to 29.6%. Everyone believes that another popular TV series with a ratings of 30% is about to be born!

Even if SBS's new drama "Lovers" is released this week, it can no longer stop the rapid rise of "Dream Couples"!

This ratings war ended with "Dream Couple" starting low and then rising high, and making a strong counterattack.

In November, the weather dropped below 0°, and snow could fall at any time.

"Dream Couple" has a total of 16 episodes, and the finale will be broadcast on November 30!

Kim Sang Ho began to consciously speed up the filming progress. The leading actors were no longer so leisurely. In order to increase publicity, several leading actors worked continuously. When they were not filming, they would rush to various places to promote.

It was also the first time for Lin Youmin to know that it was not only idols who had announcements, but actors as well!

Various talk shows and attending events are almost endless. Although he does not have a management company and has a lot of freedom in his schedule, in order to get higher ratings, he can only bite the bullet and go.

But also because of this, Lin Youmin felt for the first time exactly how his popularity was soaring.

Every time he appears at an announcement venue, there are always at least hundreds of fans cheering for him, and sometimes, there are even hundreds of people.

Holding his poster, cheering and screaming.

There are old "boxes" who liked him before

‘, there are also people who just fell in love with him because of the popularity of “Dream Couple”.

No matter what, Lin Youmin truly felt that all his previous efforts and waiting were worth it.
