TV: 'W' surpasses 'Uncontrollably Fond' in viewer ratings


Article: 'Uncontrollably Fond', why was it doing well until 'W' surpassed it?

1. [+852, -98] The reasons 'Uncontrollably Fond' is falling behind are because stories about terminal illnesses are overrated, the two male and female leads aren't that charming of characters and their acting's pretty bad too, and the drama started off with so much media play that ended up backfiring on them.

2. [+636, -184] I started watching because of how pretty Suzy was but then checked out 'W' and Han Hyo Joo just has the better acting and visuals ㅋ

3. [+608, -122] 'Uncontrollably Fond' did way too much media play and KBS tried really hard to push the drama but it's flopping in both Korea and China despite all the pre-filming investment that went into it. Suzy's stupid fans even went as far as to manipulate the best replies because her acting was so bad.

4. [+143, -40] I'm just amazed 'Uncontrollably Fond' even maintained #1 till last week... their viewer ratings are going to continue to drop, no way it's ever going to rise again;

5. [+117, -8] Do we really need to explain why? The plot is so damn common, it's the same story we've watched over and over again. People want new ideas and 'Uncontrollably Fond' is so dated ㅋ A rich top actor with a terminal illness, such a cringe premise already

6. [+107, -23] The story's boring

7. [+96, -24] Suzy took two years going through potential dramas and this was the best she could pick? The bubble she luckily landed in as the nation's first love is about to pop;;

8. [+90, -27] Honestly I'm a Suzy fan too. My cellphone and computer backgrounds are all Suzy, I live in Kwangjoo too ㅋ but her acting is so;;;; I watch 'Uncontrollably Fond' more to watch Suzy than because the drama's fun. From her voice tone to where her gaze is directed at, every single action is so awkward;; honestly the drama was entirely ruined by her as the lead.

9. [+85, -26] The problem is Suzy

10. [+77, -10] Boring story, Suzy's bad acting ㅋㅋㅋ people kept calling her drunk acting by the ocean cute but the drama can't rely entirely off of her being cute ㅋㅋㅋ Suzy should just be like Seolhyun, stay quiet and do nothing because their faces are pretty and that's enough ㅋㅋㅋ
