 Speaking of V, I found a NetizenBuzz article when they announced his acting debut, his visual was bashed too, cause apparently he looks ordinary .

 2. [+4,661, -263] ?????? This doesn't seem like a good decision, Bang Shi Hyuk-ssi
 
 3. [+3,758, -159] ??????????
 
 4. [+3,492, -160] ???? He's going to be in a drama???? Hul...
 
 5. [+3,095, -186] Taehyung-ah??????????
 
 6. [+1,061,- 69] BTS has never acted in anything even once other than for their music video, why would you suddenly put them in acting... Now I understand why everyone's putting up questions marks..
 
 7. [+941, -61] Eh??????? Please don't put him in acting... I'm worried he's going to get hate
 
 8. [+798, -36] Everyone's putting up question marks ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just how taken aback are they with this news ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
 
 9. [+752, -95] If you're going to put anyone in acting, how about start with Sukjin who got into Konkuk University's acting major without any special treatment
 
 10. [+918, -159] I'm an Army myself but I don't agree with this decision
 
 11. [+608, -65] As a fan, I'd rather the group promote their music together instead...ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
 
 12. [+699, -104] Even actors have a difficult time with historical dramas, why would you throw in an idol
 
 13. [+609, -80] Park Seo Joon, Go Ara.... and Minho and V.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
 
 14. [+673, -118] ????? I don't think this is a good decision, he has bad pronunciation skills already why would you cast him in a historical drama. Please keep it at discussions and don't actually cast him.. I thought Sukjin would start acting before any other member.
 
 15. [+347, -27] As much as I like Taehyung, acting is something you get a ton of hate for over one mistake ㅜㅜㅜㅜ I really wish Big Hit will reconsider this decision...
 |  I would love to see him prove the KGP wrong.    |

 asgsjkgdsjk W is so good wtf.    
I watched the first 11 episodes in less than a day.    The story so far is amazing, I love it. All these twists are crazy. How does one imagine a plot like this. I need the last 5 episodes right now but I don't want it to end at the same time. I've never watched a K-Drama before but I saw someone talking about this a few days ago and I was bored so I decided to watch it and I'm so happy I did. The male and female lead are so beautiful, I love them. Their cute moments together are so asjkgs I can't.    Can't wait to see how this ends. So far it's been a 10/10 and it keeps getting better. When this is done, I'll watch the other stuff that has been recommend in this thread.  |

It's a bit too early to tell, ML had 1.9+ increase for episode two and its even higher than LIM's. It might just increase again for the next episode.     |

which is usually not the time dramas air, it's the talkshow time slot so it had no other drama-competition 
so you can't really compare its increase with LIM's EP1 and 2
 
anyways I expect another decent increase for LIM and similar or a small increase for ML for tomorrow
 
as for the overall success based on today's GP response 
I expect LIM to be a 20%+ rated drama (or even 25 if handled right)

 Since this thread is bumped, Uncontrollably Fond's ratings-run is a kii    
EP01: 12.5% 
EP02: 12.5% (=) 
EP03: 11.9% (-0.6% ) 
EP04: 11.0% (-0.9% ) 
EP05: 12.9%  (+1.9% ) [peak] 
EP06: 11.1% (-1.8% ) 
EP07: 8.6% (-2.5% ) 
EP08: 8.9% (+0.3% ) 
EP09: 8.2% (-0.7% ) 
EP10: 8.1% (-0.1% ) 
EP11: 7.9% (-0.2% ) 
EP12: 8.0% (+0.1% ) 
EP13: 8.7% (+0.7% ) 
EP14: 8.0% (-0.7% ) 
EP15: 7.7% (-0.3% )
 
What kind of a DISASTER   
and to think this drama still has 5 episodes left, I wouldn't be surprised if it dips below the 7% mark  |

  |  It's called Moon Lovers too, you said it in your post, copy paste shic   
Wait, I thought LIM also have the same timeslot as Moon Lovers? 11:00PM KST (Monday-Tuesday)?
 
ML will definitely increase. They have a huge cast. I don't think 1 or 2 episodes were enough to cover all of them.  |

primetime dramas air at 10:00PM KST in Korea, so yesterday it was
 
10PM: KBS2 Love In The Moonlight EP3 vs MBC Monster EP41 vs SBS Moon Lovers EP1 
then  
11PM: KBS2 Hello Counselor vs MBC PD Note vs SBS Moon Lovers EP2
 
SBS probably scheduled EP2 right after EP1 to gain some buzz and absorb Doctors' viewerbase

I'd hope so but Jisoo, Baekhyun & IU got DRAGGED for their actings  
so hopefully that didn't turn off the viewers too much    |

Sports Seoul - Nate: Jinyoung, although he knows Kim Yoo Jung's identity, he pretends to not know "It's a duty"

		| 1. [+661, -13] Jinyoung's acting is more natural than I thought...There's some noticeable clumsiness but he manages to pull this character well 
 2. [+637, -18] Not one acting hole here, they're all good! Why is this drama so amazing, I didn't notice how much the time flew by!!!
 
 3. [+582, -14] Last week was comical but Park Bogum's acting in this episode blew me away.... I can't stop watching despite how cliche and immature the drama seems ㅋㅋThe sound effects and music are well integrated into the scenes ㅠㅜㅠ
 
 Naver
 1. [+493, -23] As expected, this drama just needed some time to settle. I saw a bit of 'Moon Lovers' and it looks like Lee Jun Ki will hard carry it all by himself
 
 2. [+445, -19] Such a big difference between this and the competing SBS drama
 
 3. [+394, -8] MDBC is daebak!!!!! My happiness for the week
 
 4. [+335, -7] All the male leads are swoonworthy ㅠㅠ

		| 'Moonlight', Kim Yoo Jung finds out Park Bogum's identity..."My name is Lee Young" 
 1. [+8,886, -184] "Lee Young is my name" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How cool
 
 2. [+7,084, -160] Today was crazy. Prince Lee Young's visuals were hard at work ♡
 
 3. [+6,710, -174] "Lee Young is my name" ㅜㅜㅜ When they walked out together
 
 4. [+5,934, -144] The ending is daebak. My name is Lee Young!!!
 
 5. [+5,627, -167] This episode made me cry ㅠㅠ Do well!!
 
 6. [+2,399, -37] Why is episode 3 so crazy fun?? From Bogum's child actor to Kim Seung Soo's crying scene daebak!!!
 
 7. [+2,051, -29] This episode is daebak. Wow Park Bogum wow....
 
 8. [+1,965,-39] One hour went by too fast
 |  Poor IU and Baekhyun  |

 Moonlight was million miles better than Moon Lovers. The acting alone. Park Bogum can take me anywhere he wants. I can't wait to see episode 4. As for Moon Lovers, I can't even finish episode 1. The acting    Like really. 
 
I need to know more about the Moonlight's lead actress. Never heard her name before. Suggest me her previous drama please.  |

 August 30, 2016 AGB Nielsen Ratings
KBS2 "Love In The Moonlight" EP4 16.4% (+0.4% ) 
MBC "Monster" EP43 10.8% (+0.8% ) 
SBS "Moon Lovers" EP3 7.0% (-2.3% )
 
Bogum serving a ratings king, what kind of a back to back smash

@fais
 
Kim Yoojung started as a child-actress and she's just transitioning into an adult actress. 
Therefore she doesn't have many "lead roles" in her filmography but I think "The Moon Embracing the Sun" and "Angry Mom" would be her most notable dramas so far  |
