After logging increases in its ratings from two rating bodies, “Uncontrollably Fond” again suffered audience loss. When Episode 11 and 12 was shown, the series got identical 9.9 percent rating from TNmS Rating and Nielsen Korea.
However, on Tuesday, Soompi reported that the Hallyu’s Nielsen Korea rating plummeted once more to 7.9 percent after “W Two Worlds” (11.9 percent) and “Jealousy Incarnate” or “Don’t Dare to Dream” (9.1 percent).
Australianetworknews asked if the personal relationship of Bae Suzy, the lead actress, be the reason for the continuous dismal performance of “Uncontrollably Fond.” Inquistr added that Bae Suzy – whose acting has been panned by critics – is reportedly being asked by her current boyfriend, Lee Min Ho, to leave the drama. The reason behind that “command” is Bae Suzy is allegedly too involved with her co-star Kim Woo Bin.
It is not the first time that rumors of cheating accusations have been made against Bae Suzy. One occasion was when an old picture of the singer and actress with former boyfriend Sung Joon surfaced. This was followed by speculation that Bae Suzy was having an affair with Kim Soo-Hyun, her co-star in “Dream High.”
But it is not only her who is rumored to be having an affair. Lee Min Ho is also speculated to have a new girlfriend in China. The couple, however, has not come forward to deny or admit the rumors.
She is also being compared to Han Hyo Joo, female lead of “W Two Worlds,” plus new competition came with the debut of “Jealousy Incarnate.”
