My Personal Thoughts
I plan on publishing an article that delves into the success of “When The Camellia Blooms,” and in short, its totally deserving of its popularity, I think that it has the potential to reach the 20% if the plot keeps getting interesting.
So far, there hasn’t been one awful episode and each episode offers new interesting revelations, the ratings are totally expected.
Despite having stopped watching high school themed kdramas for 6 years, I couldn’t help but watch “Extraordinary You,” I was actually pleasantly surprised by the plot and the cast, it is cliché and stereotypical but aware of itself, the plot is very interesting but like I said, it will suffer due to its competitors.
I still believe that “Extraordinary You” would’ve gained a lot more buzz if “When The Camellia Blooms” didn’t air on the same time slot. “When The Camellia Blooms” has an equally interesting plot but more experienced and well-known cast.
I am glad to see KBS trying out something new, public channel dramas have been struggling with ratings for years, these days tvN and JTBC dramas can score better despite being a paid cable channels.
“When The Camellia Blooms” has stereotypes but also breaks away from the typical mold of rich-hot-mean male lead which I am forever grateful for. Kang Ha Neul shines in this drama.
