Just report him, as someone who loses their temper and becomes that nasty and foul over links half of MDL and most of the Internet uses shouldn't be allowed in polite society, IMO. That's someone who would pull a gun on you if you cut in front of him in traffic. Zero ability to control his/her anger.

Give Episode 2 a chance. I almost dropped it after Episode 1 as it's mind-numbingly boring, but Episode 2 is a big improvement. I'm now holding out hope Episode 3 will be even better :)

Nope. Not remotely scary so far :)

Yep, It's one of the most poorly-written K-dramas I've seen in a while. Episode 2 is much better than Episode 1 though, so I'm giving it at least 4 episodes before I drop it.

First episode was one of the most boring K-drama episodes I've seen in a long time.

It's a pity, as the second episode is MUCH better, but with a boring first episode many people just drop a drama.

Don't understand why some Korean screenwriters don't understand , if you can't grab your audience in the first episode, there's a much lower chance of grabbing them and keeping them throughout the drama as can be seen by the quite substantial ratings drop in Korea for Episode 2.

Amazed Longing for You isn't doing better. It's a good drama.

That's good to hear but unfortunately viewer comments have little bearing on if a drama is successful or not (international critic reviews are mixed or on the negative side, btw, which was what I was referring to).

Meanwhile, in Korea, the ratings for Episode 2 dropped over half a percent, from 2.9 to 2.4 nationwide last night, while the drama dropped from 8th place to 15th place on cable TV for Episode 2.

Considering Destined for You already started with lower ratings than any JTBC drama in the same time slot all year, it has a hard climb ahead of it, IMO.

But... it is doing well on Netflix (#5 in Top 10 TV Shows so far) and hopefully that will hold.

Plus, if word spreads in Korea that Episode 2 is much better than Episode 1, some viewers may go back to it. Hopefully so as, after Episode 2, it is a lot more likely this one could be a good one :).

Fingers crossed :)

Second episode much better than the first. Will stick with it for now and hope it continues to improve as the premise is interesting.

Girlfriend. The first line she ever says is "Can I sue my boyfriend for being MIA for a week?'

Girlfriend.

It's not cheating if someone begins to like someone else. It's cheating if they remain in the first relationship while starting up a second one. Anyone can be interested/fall in love with someone else, as it's impossible to control how you feel about someone. It's what they do about it afterwards that makes it cheating. Or not.

Ah sorry, thought you were referring to the Global Top 10. And yep, you're correct if it's U.S. Top 10. K-dramas, most of them anyway, seem to pop in and out of the 10 quite quickly.

Finally properly watched Ep 12, and gotta say I loved this drama. Loved every character, but especially the two women, Park Jin Hong, his sister and the grandparents (beautifully acted). A wonderfully written drama. Will be on the lookout for more series from Min Sun Ae, as this was a delight from beginning to end.

That's actually not true. K-dramas starring big stars like Rowoon and Jo Bo Ah are almost guaranteed Top 10 on Netflix during opening week. Especially as Korean dramas are one of Netflix' most watched genres (they released a recent stat saying around 60% of Netflix subscribers have watched at least one K-dramas, which is a huge percentage).

What will be telling is if it stays there for a few weeks like King the Land and See You In My 19th Life did, or if it sinks fast.

My guess is it will probably sink as it's already sinking in Korea after Ep 2, and reviews for it so far are mixed, with a fair number on the negative side.

Edit --- And I hope I'm wrong, as I never wish dramas to flop. The cast and crew put too much work into them.

Wow, what an ass you are :)

Her Tale of Nine-Tailed character was well-written, she's just not that talented of an actress to portray the character well unfortunately. With a different actress, her character would have been wonderful. As she was the one cast in the part, the character was annoying, IMO, and subsequently with very little chemistry between her and Lee Dong Wook.

She's incredibly unlikeable so far. I have a feeling this will end up being a drop for me.

Hopefully this gets better as the first episode is average at best. I was bored stiff 20 minutes into it and struggled to finish it. It will be a drop for me if it continues with this level of writing. The overly-dramatic acting style is really annoying too.

Only 6 episodes in, but really enjoying this one so far. Sure, it's not the best-written drama of them all, but it's entertaining and the performances are great. Seems to be doing better in Korea as well, as the last episode was its highest rated so far.
