GMA Asianovelas still top ratings
GMA Network's two primetime Asianovelas -- the current No. 1 program in Mega Manila Jewel in the Palace and My Name is Kim Sam Soon -- continue to dominate the ratings game.
Korea's No. 1 dramas for 2004 and 2005 which are also hits in Asia and the US are also taking the Philippines by storm.
It comes as no wonder for more and more viewers are getting hooked to Jang Geum's (Lee Young Ae) compelling and inspiring life story and Kim Sam Soon's (Kim Sun Ah) hilarious antics and wisecracks. So many viewers have also fallen in love with the love story of Jang Geum and Captain Min Jung-Ho (Ji Jin-hee) and the funny budding romance between Kim Sam Soon and her boss Cyrus (Hyun Bin).
There are a lot more events to look forward to in the succeeding episodes of these two unbeatable Koreanovelas.
In Jewel in the Palace, while Jang Geum has succeeded in returning to the palace as a nurse this time, a lot of people continue to doubt her abilities since she is still new to the job.
This is why people found it hard to believe her when she said that there is still an infant in the queen's womb, especially since the more superior and renowned nurse in the palace, Yeul-Yee (Lee Se Eun), thinks otherwise. The two of them observed the queen together to determine who has better skills in healing people.
It did not take long before a dead infant came out of the queen's womb, which proved that Jang Geum was right; the queen did in fact carry twins in her womb. Yeul-Yee apologized to the palace officials, but she angrily accused Jang Geum of humiliating her. On the other hand, the queen would reproach the king for replacing the doctor who happens to be her relative.
This would take the king by surprise, for he doesn't understand what made the queen so angry. What would Jang Geum's fate in the palace be now that she has returned as a nurse?
Would this be her much-awaited chance to have her revenge against the persons responsible for getting her banished from the palace and killing her mother and her mentor Lady Han (Yang Mi-Kyeong)?
Or will her enemies succeed in driving her out of the palace again or taking her life this time? Meanwhile, in My Name is Kim Sam Soon, will Kim Sam Soon finally fall for Cyrus? Just the other night, the two finally bonded over the one thing they had in common: they were both heartbroken. They talked and drank wine all night in the restaurant.
However, they got carried away by their emotions and ended up kissing each other for the first time. This made the situation between them even more awkward at first, until Cyrus finally asked Sam Soon if she is starting to like him.
After another row between the two of them, they apologized to each other and called a truce. They then just considered what happened between them a huge mistake.
Sam Soon, Cyrus, her ex Harvey (Lee Kyu Han), and the latter's fiancé Cherry (Lee Yoon Mi) will later cross paths in Jeju Island.
Cyrus' friends would laugh at him because his girlfriend is already old. Harvey, on the other hand, would continue to bug Sam Soon to get back together with him and even give her a gift, which would make Cyrus furious enough to hit Harvey and begin a fight.
Do Cyrus' actions mean that he is starting to care for Sam Soon? Would this be the beginning of a true romance between the two or is this still part of their deal somehow?
Jewel in the Palace and My Name is Kim Sam Soon really got the viewers hooked, and there would be a lot more reasons to stay glued to these programs in the weeks to come.
Witness the stories of two different but similarly inspiring stories of two women in two Asianovelas which air weeknights on GMA Telebabad.
