MBC has receiving some hate mails from its viewers due to its 47th Anniversary Drama,East of Eden,Viewers had already complained that the Drama is getting slow and they are actually getting bored.

That’s Why Most of its Loyal Viewers had already switched to SBS’ Monday/Tuesday Drama,Tazza.

KBS2’s Drama Worlds Within,which stars Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo,also experienced slight Improvement in the Ratings,better than Its Predecessor,Love Marriage.

But there are some rumors that The Production Team of the Said MBC Drama is now deciding if they will extend this Series or not,But with the Negative reactions from its viewers,I think this will stay as a rumor.

And If you ask me,How I wish they wouldn’t extend this Series,Or else,it will be a Disaster,Just like what they have done with “Yi San”,Now that Tazza is getting closer to its Finale,And KBS2 will be airing Boys over Flowers in December,I think MBC should worry.

So For me,Extending this Series is Not a Good Idea for now…

It is indeed a Good week for The First 2 Episodes of General Hospital 2.

According to AGB Nielsen,The Wednesday/Thursday Drama of the MBC got 13.3 Nationwide and 13.9 in Seoul,Quite Low than the Ratings of its First episode,But in TNS Data,It got 15.8 Nationwide [Up from 14.5] and 17.5 in Seoul [Up from 16]

Still from TNS,KBS2’s Wednesday/Thursday Drama got 16.9 Nationwide and 16.1 in Seoul,While it Got 16.9 Nationwide and 17.4 in Seoul according to AGB’s Data.

Painter of The Wind’s ratings hasn’t changed a that much,It got 12.8 Nationwide and 12.6 in Seoul According to AGB’s TAM,While in TNS,It got 13 Nationwide and 12.1 in Seoul.

In The 9:55 Slot,General Hospital 2 has Won in Seoul according to TNS’ Data,In fact,It is the 3rd Most Watcged program for This day,Beating Kingdom of The Winds,While The Latter has won Nationally,Painter of The Wind placed 12th in Seoul and 10th Nationally.

KBS1’s Daily Drama,You are my Destiny is Still The Top Rating Show for This Day,It is Also The Top Rater among all KBS Programs,SBS’ Top Rating program Nationwide,According to TNS, is Daughter in Law,A Morning Series,And An Entertainment program is Their Top Rater in Seoul,In AGB’s Data,Their Morning Series got The 2nd Place for that Day.

MBC’s Top Rater Nationwide,According to TNS,is Don’t be Swayed,Still a Morning Series,General Hospital 2 tops the Ratings in Seoul,But with AGB’s Data,Don’t be Swayed is The To Rating Show for The Network both Nationally and in Seoul.

According to TNS,KBS1 got 8 out of the Top 20 Programs for the Day Nationwide and 8 in Seoul,Followed by SBS with 5 programs,Both Nationwide and In Seoul,KBS2 has 4 Programs both Nationwide and in Seoul,MBC got 3 programs.

In AGB,KBS1 got 9 Programs Nationwide and 8 in Seoul,Followed by SBS with 5 programs Both Nationwide and in Seoul,KBS2 got 4 Programs in Both areas,MBC got only 2 Programs Nationwide and 3 in Seoul.

It was a Very Exciting Battle in the 9:55 Slot Between KBS’ Kingdom of the Winds,MBC’s General Hospital 2 and SBS’ Painter of the Wind.

MBC’s Remake of General Hospital perhaps got a satisfying Rating Last Night,According to AGB Nielsen Korea,It got 13.7 Nationwide,But it is viewed by Many in Seoul with 15.8,KBS2’s Special Drama Project “Kingdom of the Winds” has managed to get 16.4 Nationwide and 16.6 in Seoul

SBS’ Painter of the Wind was booted out from The Daily Top 10,It got 12.7 Nationwide and 12.1 in Seoul..What’s more weird is that SBS’ Top Rating Show for That day is Daughter In Law,a Morning Series,MBC’s Top Rating Show for that Day is Don’t Be swayed,Also a Morning Series.

The Overall Top Rater for this Day is KBS1’s Daily Drama,You are my Destiny,It got a whopping 39.4 Nationwide and 38.4 in Seoul.

KBS1 got the Majority of the Programs included in the Daily Top 20 Slot [9 out of 20 Nationwide and in Seoul] Followed by SBS [4 out of 20 Nationwide and in Seoul],KBS2 [4 Out of 20 Nationwide,3 in Seoul] and MBC [3 out of 20 Nationwide,4 in Seoul]
