Why is HTTG’s Ratings Low? It’s Not Yunho’s Fault

Heading to the Ground
Ratings for the drama Heading to the Ground (HTTG), starring Yunho, Go Ara, and Lee Yoon Ji, have been lower than expected.  But why is that?  Some professional critics seek to blame Yunho. My response: Dude, don’t blame the newbie for what appears to be the total rejection of the actual script.

Doing a random search of comments from sites like asianfanatics, soompi and popseoul reveal Yunho’s debut acting skills may not be the reason for the low ratings. There are plans to end the drama a couple of episodes earlier than expected.

Most criticism I’ve come across directly relate to the storyline itself as the problem. The drama’s script has been called “slow”, “confusing” and full of “distractions”.  I’ll just post a few of the many comments I’ve read.

STEADY Magazine interview with Jaejoong and Yoochun

-Even when they’re on and off as Tohoshinki members, the two are always close together. Where do you think each other’s charm lies? To further inform our readers who only see the two on stage, please let us hear your thoughts

JJ: I think Yuchun’s good point is when his heart moves. Besides having that in common with him, I feel that we are the same. I’ve always felt that way since the first time I met him.
YC: I think Jaejung’s best point is that he is the type who listens to others well. His charm lies in both the way you can talk earnestly with him and how he understands your pain.
