5% audience, poisoned by 'bad guy' Kim Dongwan


The audience has fallen in love with the man who abandoned his wife and kids for success, who chose the CEO's daughter 'bad guy' Kim Dongwan.

SBS drama 'Person I Love', due to the major competition of MBC's 'Jumong', has averaged a 5% in ratings, and so the drama is now scheduled to end early. but becos of 'bad guy' Kim dongwan the loyal audiences of the drama has followed the ups-and-downs of the character, crying and laughing along with him.

Kim Dongwan who plays character Suk Ju, has portrayed the role of a man torn between his thirst for success and love very well. Suk Ju is an unfortunate person who was orphaned as a kid and led a difficult life, when he met seo young who loves him unconditionally, he became a very happy man. but no matter how hard he works its useless, a disillusioned Suk Ju thus, with tears in his eyes, decides to abandon Seo Young and marry the CEO's daughter.

Although the audience hate his decision, they understand his reluctance and stand, thus expressed their sympathy. they hope that Suk Ju will return to his wife but even they think its unlikely. Seeing Suk Ju smiling yet with bitter tears running down his cheeks broke our hearts.

the 11th episode tt was aired on the 26th, Suk Ju marries Jungmin with an absolutely blank expression, he looks like a man without an ounce of happiness. especially when he became very agitated when he sees Seo Young, it is obvious that he still loves her but is only trying to hide it. In order to get approval from Jungmin's parents, Suk Ju had to declare that he does not love seo young any longer.

the audience has not stopped crying for Suk Ju ever since he started to have an internal conflict over his love for Seoyoung and Jungmin despite the fact the he has nv made any promises, they are unable to hate him as they get sucked deeper into the plot. Also, though we know that Suk Ju cannot return to Seo Young, we still feel immense pity and sorrow for Seo Young.

even though we hate the 'bad guy' Suk Ju, on another level we feel very sad for this leading character in a most tragic story. we are also very much intrigued and mesmerized by the meticulous and great acting by Kim Dongwan of Suk Ju.

according to TNS Media Korea, the viewership rating for epi 11 was 5.4%.
