Anybody knows how much does those mobile food truck cost in Korea?  A range?

It seems like the most practical gift to send when the cast is working hard at filming.

I'm interested to know too. Maybe we can organise one.

Thank you so much. （‐＾▽＾‐）In just about 10h and 8min we will get the next episode (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

To me it seems like she haven't been in love her self before. That and I think she gets why it is an impossible love (in every ones mind except CP). She is someone that has to hide her gender, and I think she knows why. (Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense for her to continue to hide)                                      Also like for the most of us love is confusing in general.

Eh did I miss something? (・_・ヾ I don't think the rebellion and his mothers death are related.I got the feeling that it is the Kim clan that is involved in his mothers death.. 

 

me too. I thought Kim's clan has something to do with CP's mum death, not RO. Did i miss something too? Dont break my heart

my attention has been brought to YS's ending in the novel which I am not liking ...hopefully the script-writers(2 of them) will make some creative changes there...

 

Hmm is he going to have a sad ending? There was an interview with the novel author but nobody translated it in full. The google transalation seems to suggest he is a tragic figure.

[syeramy]

Guys, I'm confused here. Shouldn't this BGM is OST 6? If not, does anyone know when will this OST come out? 

 

This is one of the scenes that make me cry so bad during live cast without even knowing what they said. PBG expression is priceless. He nailed it. With KYJ supports with her heart broken face...gaaahhh! I so drowned with their emotions.

I am not sure if it is Yoon-Sung or JinYoung has this look of melancholy in his eyes.  I feel his sadness.

If he is acting Yoon Sung, it is fantastic expression of the heart.  Read somewhere that for the past 3 works of his, JinYoung has been acting in unrequited love in his character role of each story....Has he mastered the melancholic look how to give unconditional love?

Hope his next work, he is the LEAD of his drama!  Another Talented kid!

Yes! I would like to see him in a lead role. I watched him in  Perseverance Goo Haera and I've been a fan since. I think his acting skills has improved also.

There is something about him that makes him adorable.

I absolutely love this drama because every time the Crown prince, Byung Yun or Yoon Sung appear I'm drooling like a fool.

Chingu dear, you are so cute.  Unfortunately it is not translated to English yet.  This version copyright was probably bought by Taiwan publisher to translate and publish. There are altogether 5 volumes but currently only translated up to volume 4 in traditional Chinese.  Volume 5 only available in October, I think they are also rushing it....as the demand is tremendous.

I am reading now and if there are interesting extracts, I may translate to English and post it here for all to enjoy but the novel and drama has quite a bit of difference and I am not rejecting the difference because my attention has been brought to YS's ending in the novel which I am not liking ...hopefully the script-writers(2 of them) will make some creative changes there...

That's why I like this forum, so many my dear chingu who have mother Teresa heart *wiping my joyful tears*. If YS don't have good ending it will remind me of prince Yang Myung TMtEtS. Anyway thank you dear chingu for the information & the good intention

no, that song is not OST 6.. it already been confirmed that KWill song is OST 6.. as for the song that you're curious about, that's Beige OST song (aka 'Dururu song' xD).. sadly there's still no news update about that song.. no one really knew when the full ver. will be release. we just have to wait.. 

 

[babysiew]

I am actually looking for someone who can translate the whole web novels for me. I posted an advertisement in facebook, so far 2 replies but no confirmation yet. Crazy until this level haha

@Mei Lee @babysiew although I think it is fun for them to go on variety shows and it can help promote the show, I'm worried it may take precious time away from shooting. I read that the shooting schedule is so packed they don't even have time to arrange the fansigning yet. I don't want the actors to end up looking tired and haggard like in Doctors if the shooting gets behind (eye bags, dark circles, anyone?). Taping for variety shows is quite time-consuming with retakes (it is not always as "adhoc" as we might think even with reality shows). I bet with their increasing popularity, CF offers are flowing in as well and it may interfere with the shooting too.

Well said. Also, since Running Man is on SBS, I somehow think TPTB at SBS won't want to promote a drama that is directly competing with one of their own dramas.

 

@chocolatepie thanks very much for your reassurance about HCY   I love Mango TV (China) and am happy that MDBC is being aired there since Mango TV LOVES HCY. I must apologize for going on and on about him - long post about him  in spoiler coming up

Spoiler

Chi Yeul will be singing at the Busan One Asia Festival on the same day (3 October) as Gummy and Lyn, and therefore it is imperative (right word?) that his OST is released sometime before then so that he can sing it at the concert. 

We obsessed fans of Chi Yeul love KBS because they have been magnificent to him - mainly because they invited him (a rookie singer - a "nine-year rookie" ) to "Immortal Songs 2"  and this led to his being invited to "I Am A Singer" in China by Producer Hong Tao (thank you, Mr Hong - love you!) And now, Gaemi has selected Chi Yeul to sing for MDBC, such an honour  -  I was over the moon when I first read about this, there are so many well-known singers of OSTs they could have chosen, Chi Yeul has sung for only four K-dramas in the past ten years. I do hope that with the release of his OST Chi Yeul will gain more fans because he is simply the best of the best.  Yours truly looks up to him as an adopted son, he is truly a wonderful role model for both young and old. I am not familiar at all with other Korean fandoms and how their faves interact with them; I can safely say that very very very very few celebrities love their fans like Chi Yeul loves his awesome fans. Sharing with you a heartwarming clip, many thanks to uploader and to HCY Indonesian Fanbase for the Eng subs.

My hope is that after his OST is released Chi Yeul will gain more fans among those who love MDBC.  When that happens it will be very easy for new HCY fans to find ways to while away the agonizing wait for new MDBC episodes - there are lots of wonderful clips of Chi Yeul on Youtube and elsewhere  He's such a funny, dorky, adorable guy. Just one sample of this - Chi Yeul as a judge at SuperGirls singing competition (Mango TV). Thanks to uploader :

 

For anyone reading up to this ... many thanks for your patience and forbearance. I know I do go on about Chi Yeul

@inlovewithmdbc @chubbz I do not mind if they are invited to RM after the drama ends. All those listed need not appear as guests together so we all can have more episodes of watching them on RM! I would definitely need therapy for my POST-MDBC BLUES after the finale. 

[thunderman1]

I am hoping for a happy ending like TMTETS.  

Regardless, the episodes so far have been very very good.

What's his fate in the novel? And Kim Hyung's? 

 

Apparently the last scene of YS in the novel was extracted to make me cry so hard when I read it.   It was not clear how he "died" as I have not reached that part of the story yet but the extract was so beautifully sad...even as I translate for you,,,,the tears cannot help rolling down.  This is made worse because I play the "rururu" music in my background....

Warning...please DO NOT click spoiler if you do not wish to know YS's fate in the novel.

Extract of Yoon Sung supposed last scene in the novel 

"Ra On ah..."

 

If there is a next life to meet you again, at that time, I would dress you up beautifully and we will go out together.   I will ensure all the alluring hair accessories will sit on your hair like a beautiful garden.  Like music to my ears, I will listen to your footsteps movement with the bells sound.  As we go up to the mountains together, the breeze will blow gently at us and I want the world to see how I clasp your hands so tightly, never to let go....will not let anyone snatch you away from me, as we live happily together for our lifetime. Even in death,  you will be in my bosom.  If you need to leave before me, be sure that I will leave together with you...it must be like that.

 

If only I knew earlier, adoring someone is such delight and happiness.  If only I can understand earlier,  thinking of someone fondly can cause the heart to flutter....

 

Only now do I understand,  what it means to love with the heart, happiness and joy, sadness and pain.  Only now I really learn, all these is because of one person.

 In his sub consciousness, the image of Ra On's face appeared.

 

At that moment,  Yoon Sung face broke into a smile.  That was the most genuine smile from his heart ever since he was born.   With that radiant smile on his face, Yoon Sung closed his eyes....

 

"Ra On ah..Ra On ah..."

 

The sound of the calling getting weaker and weaker, it felt like a beautiful dream. Yoon Sung, face filled with happiness, seemed to slip into a long sleep into dreamland as the snow fell silently and piled upon his body.    (my comment:  is this inferring he is dying????  Did anyone save him later in the novel??? *scream.........................*)

 

I am dreaming...

Dream as beautiful as flowers

Become a butterfly flying under the light with wings extended like a dream

 

I am dreaming...

Dream as surreal as the clouds

Become breeze blowing around like a dream

 

I am dreaming...

Dream where you love me

Your eyes are filled with my dream

A dream where we are together forever

 

I don't know Kim Hyung's fate yet.

I will post this first and then explain later...

What sets MDBC apart from the rest of the dramas here with high ratings? This 2008 blog article from Dramabeans gives the answer.

Popular vs. buzzworthy dramas

by javabeans | July 4, 2008 | 

 

The following article from OSEN takes a look at the difference between the types of dramas on the air these days. I find a lot of mainstream entertainment press to be oversimplified (I’m sure I’m just not looking in the right places), but it’s something to chew on, for those of us who are curious about the relationship between ratings and the popularity/quality/success of a drama — as much as we all like to say it doesn’t matter.

Popular Dramas, Buzzworthy Dramas — There’s a Difference

There are dramas that bring in high viewership ratings but don’t get talked about much. On the other hand, there are also dramas that don’t pull in strong ratings numbers but are constantly being discussed. A drama’s content, actors, and its PR are all potential factors in drawing attention, but they don’t necessarily correlate to good ratings. Because there are many ways to watch a drama these days, the significance of ratings is gradually receding, but it’s still the primary factor in deciding advertising, and is the standard for measuring popularity. …

Family-centric dramas that gather popularity without generating buzz

Representative of dramas that garner high numbers but less buzz are long-running daily and morning dramas. For example: SBS’s morning show Aquarius and KBS1’s daily show You’re My Destiny, which draw in ratings in the high teens to high 20% range — high in viewership but low on discussion issues. These shows are watched out of habit, primarily by housewives, and don’t elicit much interest outside of the act of watching them. Furthermore, because they air for long stretches, specific issues and dramatic events don’t affect the ratings much. Since there’s no need to pour unneeded energy into the wrong place, these shows have come to place their emphasis on plot.

KBS2’s weekend drama Angry Mom draws in high 20% numbers, SBS’s Happiness also rates in the upper 20% range, and First Wives’ Club is closing in on the 30% mark. Although they’re all ranked in the top five for viewership, they haven’t really become notable topics of conversation in and of themselves. But First Wives’ Club did offer storylines around “shocking” cases of adultery, revenge, conflict and reconciliation.

I agree that these are “habit shows,” although that doesn’t mean they’re not entertaining. I think of them akin to American daytime soaps, not in content but in function and format. They have larger casts spanning characters of multiple generations (to appeal to a broader base), have very general dramatic themes, and don’t really break new ground. They’re familiar enough that you can skip many episodes, then tune back in and figure out quickly what’s transpired in the interim. In that way, they’re perfect “background noise” entertainment, and therefore don’t make headlines in the way that other, more specialized shows might.

It’s also the reason I don’t watch them — not because I think they’re bad but because as a viewer who doesn’t watch these shows on television, it’s too much commitment. I’ve noticed that watching television on the Internet is a more focused activity — it’s active watching, versus leaving a television running which is passive watching (at least for me). When these long-running dramas do make it to television in the States, I’m much more likely to catch a few episodes. In that respect, it’s nice to see cable stations like Imaginasian and KBS World expanding their schedules with more varied programming likeLikable or Not, Angry Mom (aka Mom’s Grown Horns), Pure 19, and so on.

Lower-rated but attention-getting dramas

Ratings are relatively low for shows like MBC’s La Dolce Vita, When Night Comes, and Spotlight, and SBS’s My Sweet Seoul, but they are constantly being talked about.

La Dolce Vita‘s focus of attention is decidedly Oh Yeon Soo. At 36, Oh Yeon Soo is a mother of two but has the looks of one in her twenties, drawing eyes with her perfect bikini-clad figure. She garnered plenty of notice for her passionate, dramatic acting with twentysomething Lee Dong Wook. My Sweet Seoul breaks the mold of provocative, exaggerated dramas, expressing itself in calm realism and sympathy-evoking dialogue. Both dramas are reviewed as well-made and have disappointing ratings.

Others like When Night Comes and Spotlight stir interest for their focus on particular occupations, such as the preservation of cultural treasures and broadcast reporting. On top of that, both have prominent female leads in Kim Sun-ah and Son Ye-jin, which alone is enough to get people talking. But because their stories and structuring aren’t solid, they’ve failed to reach viewer expectations. It’s no surprise they struggled to pass the 10% ratings mark.

Dramas with both ratings and buzz

And then, there are dramas that get both good ratings and buzz. SBS’s Iljimaeand Gourmet are two examples.

Iljimae, based on the Korean folk hero, garnered plenty of interest before its premiere for its lead and supporting cast, its [expected] strong performances and comic acting, and visually stunning CG and cinematography, and its ratings went up accordingly. It has passed the 20% mark and closes in on 30%. Despite its characterization as a fusion sageuk, the drama stands out with its episodes dealing with current social issues. Gourmet was a popular manhwa created by artist Heo Young-man and even inspired a film adaptation, therefore creating high expectations even before its broadcast. It’s come out in first place in the Monday-Tuesday race.

It’s natural that high ratings result in more buzz. The drama Yi San, which ended its run not long ago, may have been a long-running drama that aired for nine months, but it followed the structure of a miniseries, capturing two birds with one stone with its high ratings and high buzz. Furthermore, it was so talked-about that when it was preparing to wrap up, the other stations scrambled to set up their competition.

 

Conclusion: MDBC  is a Drama with both ratings and buzz!!! Yay!
