[Discussion] Me too, Flower

Ah, ok! Well, I have FBRS, DRT & CYHMH to keep me entertained while I wait for subs...lol

Me Too Flower is still unsubbed at DC. I just read this article and thought I'd pass it along. I'm not really fussed about the ratings being low. Sometimes the most well written and acted shows don't seem to find a large mainstream audience. And that is what Me Too Flower is; very well written and acted. I really hope they don't do what this article suggests is being considered. Sometimes quality should win out over popularity...once in a while just to shake things up...quality should win.

No! I really have no idea why people don't watch it. I can’t tell about this period drama which is currently airing because i’m not watching it but M2F is MUCH BETTER than Man of honor! If they really do this it would be such a waste... No, I'm positive, it'll be alright. Yoon Shi Yoon, fighting!!!

I managed to finish it. lol

Ah! I just read that Lee Ji Ah had a scandal. I read about it a few months back and had forgotten she was the actress involved it since I really don't care what they do with their personal lives. I care about them doing a good job in a drama/movie. *sigh* honestly, if that's one of the reasons...*sigh*

But also, like it's said, MTF did have crappy advertisement.


Production Crew of â??Me Too, Flowerâ?? Denies Rumors of Early Finish

wrote: The production crew of MBCâ??s Me Too, Flower! denied the rumors that the drama might end earlier than planned, saying, â??Nothing has been determined.â?

A source from MBC said, â??Weâ??re still discussing the schedule as the date, December 29, which the final episode was planned to air, falls on the date of a year-end awards ceremony. Meanwhile, production crew members said, â??Weâ??ve never heard about early finish of the drama on set. Weâ??re currently filming on schedule.â?

With such rumors spreading, viewers rushed to the comment board of the drama to complain about its early finish.

Me Too, Flower! drew a lot of attention as it was the comeback piece of E Jiah, who took a brief hiatus after causing a stir by getting involved in legal disputes with her ex-husband Seo Taeji. But after the original male lead, Kim Jae Won, was forced to drop out due to an injury, interest in the drama waned and the show has only earned viewership ratings of around five to six percent.

Meanwhile, The Sun and The Moon starring Kim Soo Hyun and Han Ga In, will air as a follow-up to Me Too, Flower! in January.

Lis ~ It's good to hear this may just be something they considered and are going to finish out this series ...maybe...possibly a stunt to boost ratings just a bit? And I can completely see why Deep Rooted Tree would be taking away views. It is a captivating and amazingly rich and awesome show. But lucky for me, I'm in the US and when I eventually do catch up to watch, I have no effect on ratings. Man of Honor on the other hand...the only reason I haven't dropped this is because I've been lazy and haven't gone to my list to do it. That show lost me at ep. 10 and I refuse to go back. Man of Honor is the most non baseball drama about baseball players I've ever seen. Crazy eyes, makjang elements and tears galore. /me rolls eyes.

Also..I just can't see myself ever watching Tamra, The Island. And please don't judge me harshly but for me it is 75% about the way the two lead males look. Isn't that horrible of me? But...They look like two babies playing sailor/pirates during Joseon times. I just can't do it! I know..it's bad. Don't flame me.

You know I cannot judge you..LOL

Ah, so MOH is a makjang, I wonder if it's as bad as Temptation of An Angel. I've been stuck in ep. 12 (I think) forever. It might go down on the next raid.

About the publicity stunt for ratings...Who knows it might work. Didn't the stunt the lead actress of SMW work to their advantage? lol

Welcome to the club! :D lol

I would have to agree with most of what you said about but for a few things. The two leads are doing a great job with their acting in these roles; particularly Yoon Si Yoon. I thought he was great in KOBKTG, but in here he has exceeded expectations in stepping into the role of Jae Hee. He’s pretty much knocking it out the park. I don’t discount Lee Ji Ah either. While her character is a bit grumpy pants and she isn’t always likable, I feel she shows an inner spark and core of hope to break out of that shell all on her own. When she has those moments I think she glows. And just to be a bit shallow, together these two are tender, feisty, raw speaking and hot!!

Where I don’t exactly agree with you is maybe the feeling your getting with the fact that this is a “rich guy meets average girl” recipe. Perhaps I have simply bought the diamond plate and like to watch it winking in the light. Ooooh Pretty!

I think what makes this drama special for me, besides the chemistry and acting of the leads, is the combo of their behind the scenes baggage, how they are coming together and the writer’s sparkly dialog as they do… I love that Jae Hee isn’t a chaebol. He is a self made man of a company he built with his own talent for design and yes…a partner with cash. I like that his problems aren’t because of his spoiled upbringing or his hated mother or father. He hasn’t had everything handed to him. It is not the excess of money that has stunted his personality. He has been on his own from a very young age. His rough past has made him extremely wary and phobic of being a public figure and trusting people. That twist in the formula completely intrigues me. I also love the average girl side of the recipe. I like that Bong Sun is a grumpy arse, mouthy cop who doesn’t suffer fools but also hasn’t learned the social skills to handle her frustrations gracefully or tactfully. I don’t know why but I adore that she isn’t a plucky..'go get ‘em girl' heroine. I like watching her ‘go get ‘em’ in her own way.

When I first read your thoughts on the lead character’s drowning out the secondary stories I balked but as I thought about it, I think you’re right. But for me it’s only because I think the element in the plot of Hwa Young’s scheming is unnecessary and feels out of place in this drama that has been pretty down to earth and more realistic in it’s story telling. I don’t think there needs to be that melodrama-ish plot point of her turning bad girl. There were other ways they could have handled the complication of her being in Jae Hee’s life and what that means for he and Bong Sun. As a result, I am not interested in her that much other than to just want to smack her. The only other thing I have a problem with is Bong Sun’s step sister and the direction they are taking her. I liked her at first and the possibilities of that relationship. I’m not exactly sure what they are going to do with her now. I’m reserving judgment though, and cutting this show some slack until I see how it unfolds.

I haven’t seen 9 or 10 yet because they are being subbed a bit slow so I’m waiting until more eps air and are subbed… Good Post Graphicfighter…it got me thinking.
