Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around for awhile!
Jilly Jie, thanks for all of the goodies! I really like the beginning theme, too, and I was bummed about the low ratings for DCF, too, especially after all of that hard work by the cast. I don't really like the way the media is portraying DCF as the "loser" of the "competition" for ratings. Hehe, I have to say, I'm mesmerized by watching Jiro make the fried rice... it's so cool! I haven't watched the first eppy yet, b/c I'm waiting for English subs, but the previews looked good. I think maybe people aren't as gung ho about cooking dramas, maybe? (Sweet Relationship got ratings in the 1s, too). Hope DCF can increase in ratings!
beanybeans, usually you want to get above a 2 to have decent ratings. Probably below a 1.5 is considered low, between 1.5 and 2.5 is average, and high would be 3 and up. Above a 4 is considered very high. Fated To Love You is pretty good... I've watched the first 5 episodes, and it's pretty fast-paced, and the plot is interesting. It's really funny and sweet, too - at least the beginning episodes were. I'm actually starting to get a little bored of it now, but I think that's because I've been spoiled with some really good dramas lately. Anyway, I'd recommend giving it a watch and seeing if you like it. I'm not a big fan of the "Daddy told me I'm a princess, and one day, I'll find my Prince Charming" part of the story, but other than that, the storyline is unique and good. It *is* a SETTV drama, so it has the quirks that are unique to SETTV dramas, like the cartoony sounds, like "doing!" etc. The main actors are all pretty good in their respective roles, but I think it's the storyline and eventual happily ever after that reel people in.
