Dream Becomes Lowest Rated Drama In 2009

After having high expectations placed on it by SBS and the production company to do well initially, Dream is well on its way to becoming a washout instead.

Known for having poor ratings, Dream reached a new low after it had the dubious honor of becoming the lowest rated Korean drama in 2009 thus far after registering just 3.3% for its 21st September episode.

Much was expected of the drama, especially since it was based on sports and boxing, plus a main cast of Joo Jin Mo, Son Dambi and Kim Bum. The main reason for Dream's demise is largely attributed to the mammoth ratings that Queen Seon Duk are pulling in week in week out, averaging 40% recently. The lacklustre storyline in Dream is also a reason, with Korean viewers not drawn to the unimaginative familar plotlines.

KBS2TV's The Queen Returns is not faring any better having just debuted recently, but it managed to relegate Dream to last position, with 4.8%. With 3 more episodes to go for Dream before the finale next week, the nightmare will soon be over though.

didnt like this drama even though i’m a big kimbum and son dambi fan. i think this drama didn’t show kimbum’s real acting skills as much as his previous dramas andd son dambi.. i love her the way she is on stage singing. her acting is okay too.. just this drama wasn’t the right one for her. i’d stick with love story-lined dramas haha.

Not a surprise there. As much as I love Son Dambi and Kimbum, the drama was such a drag~! I`m not even sure if I should be saying this because I didn`t even get through the first episode. @6: Same here.

it was expected… the ratings were going down almost every episode… sad news as kim bum is a good actor. maybe stick to the romantic comedies for now?

side note:
finally… one of coolsmurf’s article! always enjoy reading your writing style.

That’s because Queen Seon Duk is kickass awesome!
This shows that (thankfully), it doesn’t only take famous people to make a movie… it takes SKILL, talent, creativity, originality… I mean, I love Son Dambi and Kim Bum, but the plotline is hella boring, esp when there are other great shows on. I’m not going to watch them just for eye candy.
That said, seeing as they received this “honor,” I’m sure many readers will bring up the ratings next time by watching it - simply out of curiosity to see why this show lacks viewers.

ouch.. dambi’s first drama too..
hope it doesnt have a big effect on her like hyori and 4 leaf clover :/

 
davidfresh's avatar

Son Dambi is <3
This drama sucks big time though. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this title because I only watched the first episode and. It was horrible @.@
Q Seonduk, I intend to try soon. I hope it’s something as good as Jumong (;

what the hell -____-x this drama is pretty decent. whatever. im still going to continue watching this. QUEEN SON DUK CAN SUCK IT.

 
BangSuPM's avatar

DAMN. It’s true, it was a disspointment. I thought with Kim Bum in it, it would at least be watchable but…I guess cuteness can’t make up for everything. I couldn’t even fully finish the first episode, it was very lackluster.

 
sunnydelite's avatar

Ooooh, burn.
Hopefully they have some aloe for that burn
LOL
But it’s an average drama, nothing original
Oh well Son Dambi is perfect, Kim Bum no need for words and Joo Jin Mo is a hottie with talent so what’s not there to love right?
Psh Queen Son Duk can kiss Dream’s ass!

 
no avatar

Well, I for one didn’t watch it because the genre just wasn’t my type. lol

 
minheelv's avatar

Woah,first..when Son Dambi was going to act for Dream,i thought it will be good.
But it wasn’t after that weird kiss with Kim Bum.

 
VIIKIHPNERD's avatar

I am not really into those “boxing” shows/movies…kinda sad actually, since Kim Bum is such a big name now.

 
Aestas's avatar

cuz Queen Seonduk is a BEAST! its friggin awesome

 
siopao lala's avatar

Aww poor Bummie. I really love him, but I can’t even bring myself to watch Dream, I saw ep. 1 and it kinda bored me to death, sorry. Maybe his next drama should be the ISWAK remake XD

 
milangurl89's avatar

queen seonduk is awesome. i cant even stand the 1st episode of dream.. even though kimbum is in it.

@6: me too.

 
noura's avatar

thats so sad D: i hope the ratings will go up! smae goes for heading to the ground :( i love that drama!!!

 
jinnyinab0ttle's avatar

I stopped watching after the first 45 minutes of the first episode.  Disappointment?  Yes.  Because I usually enjoy Joo Jin-Mo’s dramas… and sexiness.

 
yurNumba1phaN's avatar

this drama was hella boring sorry but yeah i’m a fan of kimbum but man, it didn’t grab my attention at all. i didn’t even finish the first episode.

 
*Miso*'s avatar

it sucks cause i saw Kimbum working hard for this, but yea nothing can beat Seon Duk at the moment. Its REALLY GOOD actually^^

Son Dambi should learn from Lee Hyori….Hyori’s dramas were also bigtime flops. Singers should just stick to singing and these two ladies will still enjoy fame and lots of fortune through multiple lucrative advertisements and product endorsements.
Of course it’s a good lesson for the stupid DREAM producers to have chosen this lame drama scripted by an amateurish writer.

 
Samaher's avatar

I didnt like this drama it was boring i thought it was gonna be good oh well

 
WgSunbethy's avatar

i really don’t like the Story<_<

 
no avatar

that’s unbelievable actually the drama is great,  try to watch it. actually i give a 4/5 rating in this drama. i think they just hate kim bum acting here because his rude lolz….and son dam bi she needs acting lesson though but all its great. i’m actually in episode 17 cant wait to see finale.. ^_^V

 
SHaMiE!'s avatar

I guess the 6.0 ratings of Yunho’s drama was not as bad after all considering its competition too.. but damn!!.. 3.3 is really low..

 
foxrider's avatar

i think they dont have good chemistry and the drama is lack of story lines

 
GrandmaXD's avatar

aww that sucks!! ><”~ i didnt really continue after teh first episode.. the subs were screwed up.. but i didnt know it would be dragged down that much..

 
tifatumor's avatar

YayChoonYei's avatar

I don’t think that this drama is that bad. I mean was it boring?...yeah kinda lol but I like it because boxing is my fav. sport and Kim Bum is yummy yummy!

 
Orange_s2's avatar

awhh i like kimbum, sucks for them but hopefully better luck in the future

 
iheartkimbummie's avatar

awww T_T poor bummie.. he placed a lot of effort and lost lbs for this.. T_T He’s had had one successful drama after another before… I hope he wouldn’t get too depressed with the outcome of Dream…

still hoping that after Bummie gets his well deserved rest that he’ll be casted for the korean version of It Started With A Kiss… and hopefully with So Eun :D

btw. the chemistry or rather the lack thereof between Son Dam Bi and Kim Bum was already evident in the Anycall Haptic Mission right?

 
sh0rttty's avatar

yumi-chan's avatar
