Big, a drama featuring the Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung and Hong Sisters dream team, didn’t do too bad in its first competition.

According to AGB Nielsen Media Research on June 5, the June 4 first broadcast of KBS2’s Big recorded 7.9 percent viewership ratings, starting off with the lowest ratings of its time slot.

MBC’s Light and Shadow scored 20.3 percent, while SBS’ The Chaser garnered 9.2 percent.


Big is a romcom drama written by the famed Hong Sisters. The Sisters’ comeback, along with the star-studded cast featuring Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung and miss A’s Suzy, gathered much interest to the drama even before it started airing.

In the first episode, the clumsy schoolteacher Gil Da Ran (Lee Min Jung) and her doctor fiancée Seo Yoon Jae (Gong Yoo) made their appearances. Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung managed to draw up a convincing lovely couple, and Gong Yoo especially shook up the screen with his fit, muscular body. The quick-paced and bright story also caused viewers to look forward to the antics to come.

The episode finally showed Kang Kyung Joon (Shin Won Ho), Gil Da Ran’s student, and Seo Yoon Jae’s souls get switched around through a car accident.

Despite the low ratings, viewers showed they were looking forward to the drama’s future, leaving reviews such as, ‘Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung look great together’, ‘The story is interesting’ and ‘I’m looking forward to the main characters’ romance.’

great body with childish act, haha..somehow i love it..

Okay...On a more serious and less shallow note...

The last few minutes of the first episode MADE me want to watch this drama and stick it out for episode 2. As hot as I think Gong Yoo is...The reason I love him so much is his acting... And his portrayal of a confused kid in another's body and reliving a tragic moment was PALPABLE. I could feel his pain, confusion and fear in that moment. As ridiculous as the scenario of switched bodies is...he pulled off those emotions perfectly! He nailed it and made me want to see more more more of that amazing acting.

I'm watching EP 2 now....just for him.
