‘Five Fingers’ sees a rise in viewer ratings

SBS weekend drama, ‘Five Fingers‘ is doing well despite the recent issues surrounding the replacement of T-ara‘s Eunjung with actress Jin Se Yeon.

According to the AGB Nielson, the third episode of ‘Five Fingers’ that aired on the 25th, recorded 14.1%, which is a 1.4% increase since last week. The pilot episode aired on the 18th recorded a rating of 11.2% while the second episode saw its numbers jump to 12.7%.

It is not certain whether the increase in ratings is due to the controversy around the replacement of Eunjung or the building story line of the drama itself. However, in the end, despite the dispute, the drama is off to a strong start at already over 14% with its third episode.

On the other hand, MBC‘s ‘May Queen‘, ‘Five Fingers’ competitor, recorded 11.3% for the pilot episode, 10.8% for the second episode, and 12% for the third, putting ‘Five Fingers’ into the lead.

Behind-the-scenes story revealed for Joo Won and Jin Se Yeon’s kiss on ‘Bridal Mask’

The story behind actor Joo Won and actress Jin Se Yeon‘s kiss scene has been revealed.

On the homepage of KBS‘s drama ‘Bridal Mask‘, a making film titled ‘Behind the Gangdan couple’s forest kiss‘ was revealed.

The clip provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at Lee Gang To (Joo Won) and Mok Dan (Jin Se Yeon)’s recent kiss scene.

After the kiss scene was over, the director joked, “I tell you to give her a small peck and you kiss her instead” to which Joo Won replied wittily, “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this“, causing a burst of laughter on the set.

Unlike Joo Won who looked relaxed during the shoot, Jin Se Yeon looked shy about the continuous takes for the scene. Joo Won drew extra attention with his gentleman like mannerism, fixing the actress’s messy hair before filming.

Even with such ‘enthusiasm’, the NGs were endless. Joo Won tried to justify saying, “I’m not doing it on purpose. It’s because it’s hard for me to breathe.”

In related news, with the revealing of Gang To as the bridal mask, much attention has being focused on the two co-stars’ love-line.
