Korean drama Playful Kiss receives a surprisingly low ratings of 3.5% for its premier episode, far below the 44% of the leading drama of the same time slot, Baker King Kim Tak Goo.
Starring popular actor/singer Kim Hyun-joong and based on popular comic which was successfully remade into live dramas in Japan and Taiwan, the drama was expected to do well despite the fierce competition.
Korean pop princesses Girls’ Generation is releasing their debut Japanese single Genie on September 8. The single is already available for pre-order.
Girls’ Generation is one of the Korean girl groups that are expanding their career to Japan. KARA and 4minute are also currently advancing to the Japanese market.
The Japanese Genie is a remake of the original Korean version.
