New Drama, “Temptation” Starts Off in Third Place in Viewer Ratings

New Drama, “Temptation” Starts Off in Third Place in Viewer Ratings

SBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Temptation” started off with a 7.6% rating, starting off in third place among the other Monday-Tuesday dramas.

Among the dramas that aired around the same time as “Temptation,” it had the lowest rating. However, since it’s only the first episode and the difference in ratings isn’t that big, it’s not a bad start.

“Temptation” aired its first episode after “Doctor Stranger” finished. The drama is about a man that accepts a tempting offer and makes a decision he cannot take back. Kwon Sang Woo plays the character Cha Suk Hoon who is pushed to the limits and Choi Ji Woo plays the character Yoo Sae Young that tempts him through a secretive offer. “Tempation” aired its first episode on July 14 where it revealed the tense relationship between Cha Suk Hoon and Yoo Sae Young.

Meanwhile, the rating for MBC’s “Triangle” is 9.1%, placing it in first place. KBS 2TV’s “Trot Lovers” had a rating of 8.3%.

Henry Hello Counselor

On the July 14 broadcast of the KBS 2TV variety program, “Hello Counselor,” a mother who is a big fan of Super Junior-M‘s Henry had the biggest surprise of her life as the singer appeared right in front of her eyes.

On this episode of “Hello Counselor,” a girl in her senior year of high school came to the show to share her concern about her mother who is a very big fan of Super Junior-M’s Henry.

“Mom plays Henry’s music video loudly from 6 a.m. in the morning. She also looks at Henry’s picture and talks to it. She even named the coffee shop ‘Henry.’ She insists that she looks like Henry,” the daughter shared.

To this, the mother, who was seated among the audience, said, “Henry is very cute and nice. I like it even when Henry is just talking. He’s cute when he speaks in his poor Korean.” When it was known that her daughter complains about not being able to make breakfast for her, the mother explained, “There’s a lot of food sold around her school anyway.”

The hosts talked more to the mother about her obsession about Henry and the mother revealed that she talks to Henry’s photo on her phone. The hosts then flashed a photo of Henry on the screen and the mother talked to Henry as she would do all the time, until Henry really appeared behind her and brought the whole audience to a shock. The mother was very happy to see Henry.

Henry, who was happy that his fan came to the show, said that he’s grateful to the mother. However, when asked what he’ll say to the daughter, the singer was apologetic and said, “I’m sorry.”

The mother shared that Henry is a big inspiration for her and helps make her happy. “About this time last year, my life was in a very difficult position and I wanted to give everything up. At that time, I heard the song ‘Trap’ and I gained some strength. I fell for him from then on. Whenever I feel difficulties, I look at and listen to Henry and I gain strength and think that I have to live,” said the mother.

Camera Tents of “Superman Returns” Explained

Camera Tents of “Superman Returns” Explained

Have you ever wondered about what it’s like inside those camera tents on popular KBS variety program “Superman Returns“? 

Recently, the producer of “Superman Returns” offered some more details on the ongoing behind the mysterious tents that make appearance on every episode of “Superman Returns.” As viewers have caught on earlier on, the tents house cameramen who shoot footage of everyday lives of the children on the hit show. 

Since they are filming young children who are not accustomed to being followed by cameramen, keeping the cameramen hidden seems to be the best way to keep the young stars acting naturally.

Initially, these tents started out with cardboard boxes, but have now evolved into the cute-looking tents they are now. 

Producer Kang Bong Kyu said that once a cameraman is inside a tent, they have to stay there for three to four hours without leaving. The staff members take turns to go into the tent throughout shooting. When it’s meal time, they would sneak in food to eat while shooting. 

As the difficulty of entering and remaining still in these small structures are different, the placement of cameramen depends on how old the cameramen are. The youngest cameraman will normally have to go into the box, while the eldest would be in charge of the automated cameras. 

“Superman Returns” recently welcomed a new family, as actor Song Il Gook joined the show with his triplets.
