My first Hari Raya Puasa Visit:
Dustbin Mum's House.
In short, Siti's home.



I found that MNIKSS's popularity is kind of short-lived. Around 4-5 months after the shooting of MNIKSS, two other korean mini series drama sprang into the scene, namely My Girl and Goong. The two dramas gained alot of ardent fans for the leading characters and of course, the show itself. In which Goong has the most international k-influence on the korean-drama "worshippers" with the blend of the old palace customs and the modern hierarchy. Also the trio-leads are termed as rising stars of the younger generation who pursue trendy settings and the envious Cinderella story. Within the timeframe of a year, the great number of korean-drama fans were divided within the 3 marvellous drama.

My sublimal message is that due to the time factor, My Name Is Kim Sam Soon isnt able to cast a deep impact internationally as before this show is subbed and broadcasted/brought into the countries outside Korea, My Girl and Goong were already gaining popularity in Korea. With the theory of the"First mover advantage", this led to people watching My Girl or Goong before MNIKSS, and loving the other two drama before watching MNIKSS. The Goong presently also had an significant influence in Singapore as well. I could often hear Goong OST when somebody's phone ring inside the train, outside the lift or on the bus.

Quoting Dae Jjang Guem and Full House as examples, whose drama enjoy a good popularity and maintained-most-talk-about. I felt that its quite a pity that 3 good dramas "brought to the world" within too short a time. After enjoying the peak season of having watched the 3 good dramas, it was almost the recovery period as other than these 3, i found the other dramas less appealing, maybe, maybe except one or two other k-dramas which im not naming.... Well, up till todate, there are quite a number of people comparing these 3 delicate-made dramas which are usually seen having a ferocious "fight" at the voting sites or award-winning titles, Also read bout this on the newspaper last few days, at a Chinese prestigious voting site.
