Caly Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 KARA's URAKARA received high ratings despite being aired at midnight KARA's Japanese drama URAKARA will be broadcasted in Korea's TV channel after being aired in Japan for 2 weeks. It has been recently announced that Cable channel TvN will be showing KARA's URAKARA on the 28th January, 8:30 pm. "URAKARA" is a 12-episode drama revolving around KARA being transformed into love agents, getting involved in dating missions to win the hearts of the other parties. Inorder to succeed in their mission, KARA tries hard to learn what is the true meaning of love in a reality situations and thereby learning truly how to be a topstar. One moment, KARA is all innocent and happy, then suddenly in another moment, they teared because of the pain of love. In this drama, KARA members' portrayal of different characteristics, displaying different experiences of love and their mature and witty dialogues are the biggest selling points of the drama. The first episode was broadcasted on the 14th of January at midnight. Despite the late broadcasting slot, it receives a high rating of 4% and thereby showing us once again KARA's popularity in Japan. According to Japan Tv officials, getting even a 2% rating at this time slot is already an achievement itself. As compared to last year, Japan's own idols NEWS's as well as AKB48's dramas, KARA received twice as high the rating. After showing the first episode, the commonly seen comments on Japan's net is : "No matter in what case, "URAKARA" is quite unique because what is most important is not the plot but it is rather to see KARA's portrayal of their given characters in the drama. We got addicted because of that." This drama have gotten a lot of good feedbacks. To add on, tvN is doing a online event for URAKARA. They will release drama related activities on their website, luckydraws on related matters on the first 4 episode of URAKARA. Stand to win KARA's autographed souvenirs!

Palaverist Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow Kara is breaking records after records in Japan. They managed to convince people to stay awake at midnight just to watch Urakara. I wonder what the Japanese government is going to do as this may affect productivity work. I am sure Kara had won the heart of the company bosses to excuse their staff. "No matter in what case, "URAKARA" is quite unique because what is most important is not the plot but it is rather to see KARA's portrayal of their given characters in the drama. We got addicted because of that." I agree with this. I just recently watch it. It is Kara portrayal of innocence that is almost genuine makes this drama very unique. This drama also allows people to relate with the real Kara in real life. Looking at the drama the real Kara and the acted drama seems almost similar in my opinion.

Wiiiilsonn!! Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks Caly for translating this article It looks like URAKARA is having a good impact on the Japanese audience. Despite the plot which I have to admit was rather cheesy, the girls did well for their acting in the first episode. I'm proud as ever of our girl's ability to pull in the audience interest despite the bad timeslot given to the drama. I'm sure the next episodes will be great viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adlibruj Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) "As compared to last year, Japan's own idols NEWS's as well as AKB48's dramas, KARA received twice as high the rating." That's quite an achievement! Twice the ratings of two of Japan's idols groups. It shows that the girls have already won the hearts of the Japanese people. Great news. Too bad I haven't been able to watch the drama. Edited January 19, 2011 by adlibruj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeless Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 ^ It's a lie .. I don't know about the NEWS drama, but AKB's Majisuka Gakuen 1st episode rating is 4.1% with total avg. 3.7% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryxshort Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I thought it was a small number but it actually isn't. Congratulations to the girls! URAKARA must be a good drama. Hopefully more people in Japan will watch it so more people can become Kamilias and the show can have higher ratings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red4summer Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 @eyeless rather than lie, i believe there were some misinterpretations somewhere. along with Palaverist, i don't care about the plot at this stage, i just only want to see the girls trying out acting.
