2013 Contents Power Index (CPI) ranking (measurement period from January to November) was reported using the measurement jointly-developed by rating company Nielsen Korea and CJ E&M. CPI was developed to measure how much each TV program has an influence or a value, based on viewers’ behaviors in a changing media environment. CPI is calculated using newsworthiness rate (ranking of the news subscription), participation rate (direct searching ranking), enthusiasm rate (SNS) and so on. Even though only 4 episodes of ‘Beautiful Man (Bel Ami)’ was broadcast during the measurement period, it ranked No.9! How awesome, isn’t it!

‘Beautiful Man’ – a different type of cute, sarcastic drama

In contrast to the poor ratings, KBS2TV’s BM is not such a boring drama. And it’s not childish as it may seem by its name BM. The drama’s leads Jang Keun Suk, IU or Lee Jang Woo, their acting is not unwatchable. No matter what, these young actors are incredible being able to act out the embarrassing roles so naturally.

Maybe in comparison to the recently ended The Heirs, BM has more storyline to it, more funny. But why are BM’s ratings insultingly the lowest amongst TV dramas this year? Was this result expected? For some viewers, BM is very funny, very nerve-racking. On the other hand, many viewers find it boring, childish, the lead actors’ acting a bit embarrassing, a drama completely without storyline.

For me, however, I was soon into BM that showed various designed lines and settings from the 1st episode.
