Wow, this is unusual. The ratings were actually higher for reruns of Will It Snow For Christmas? than they were for the drama’s original broadcast. Thinking about it, this makes some sense since IRIS is so strong on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still, it’s rare that a rerun — shown on a weekend afternoon — would actually record higher numbers than its primetime premiere. Episodes 1 and 2 originally brought in an 8.6% and a 7.7% during the week; Sunday’s rebroadcast brought in an 8.7% and 11.4%.
With the childhood portions acted to high praise by Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun, look for the story to heat up in the coming week for their adult counterparts, played by Han Ye-seul and Go Soo.
Nam Ji-hyun has a history of overshadowing her older counterparts with her engaging, emotive acting — or at least giving them a run for their money — so Han Ye-seul may have her work cut out for her. On the upside, creating a strong audience connection to a childhood character is also to the adult actor’s benefit. (Nam’s past portrayals were taken over in the adult storylines by Lee Yo-won of Queen Seon-deok, Han Ji-hye of East of Eden, Jang Jin-young of Lobbyist, and Lee Yoon-ji of Great King Sejong.)

SM Entertainment stated that on the 7th, Super Junior’s 3rd album “SORRY, SORRY” sales has exceeded 250,000 mark.
Since the release of the album, March 12, they made a record of 135,269 online sales, 115,404 offline sales, totaling to a number of 250,673.
This has attracted a lot attentions, in particular the fact that they have broken their own records in the album selling history (the 2nd album has sold approximately 190,000 copies in 2007). 3jib album title song “SORRY, SORRY” and the next song “It’s You” are a big success which explains the large number of sales.
Not only in Korea, as soon as it was released, the album has made its way to number one in charts and is well-received in China, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand and other Asian countries.
