Three Dads One Mum posts double-digit rating in rivals absence

In the absence of it’s two main rivals, SBS “On Air” and MBC “Who Are You”, KBS2TV “Three Dads One Mum” drama posted a double-digit rating yesterday in the Wed-Thus timeslot, it’s highest since it’s debut.

According to AGB Nielsen, Episode 3 of “Three Dads One Mom” obtained a rating of 13.3%. Compared to 5.5% last week, it was an increase of 7.8%.

Due to the 18th General Elections in Korea yesterday, SBS and MBC provided coverage of that and stopped showing their scheduled programs. This resulted mainly in the ratings spike for “Three Dads One Mum”. Despite boasting of a cast consisting of Eugene, Jo Hyun Jae, Jae Hee, Shin Sung Rok and the unique topic of sperm donation, it was unable to post a good rating because of “On Air” strong showing. With it going past 10% last night, it remains to be seen whether it can sustain it’s momentum going into tonight’s ratings battle.

Andy Lau: If Jay Chou invites me, I will act

Heavenly king on heavenly king, Andy Lau personally expresses: "If Jay Chou becomes a director again and wants me to act, I'm willing."

There have been rumours that the movie "Sword A-Bi" wants to get Andy Lau and Jay Chou together, for the first time Andy confirms that they have talked about it, but he hopes that if there is a movie where he works with Jay Chou, it must be like when he worked with Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs", becoming a milestone in movies, "Sword A-Bi" doesn't really have this kind of feeling.

Director Chou once publicly expressed how he hopes to work with Andy Lau, Andy Lau said: "I also want to, with a topic of like 2 singers or 2 people from completely different places." Andy Lau really looks forward to Jay Chou being a director again and he thinks he will do well, but for himself he doesn't want to be a boss for filming movies again, because right now Chinese movies have to fight the Asian markets outside of Hong Kong, being a boss you have to spend a lot of effort and time.

This evidence showed that the couple were still very close and inseparable. This was also the couple’s debut appearance together.

Edison’s scandal had caused a lot of gossip almost everywhere. This led to Cecilia and Nicholas’s relationship being the spotlight of the event. Although Nicholas has always declared his relationship with his wife had always been good. This didn’t stop the rumours about his relationship reaching to an end. The couple have also not appeared together since this scandal event happened.
The Paparazzi have been following there whereabouts ever since the scandal. Nicholas went to Thailand for a costume fitting for the movie “Wind & Cloud 2”. While there were reports of Cecilia carrying Lucas around places in Thailand. This had led more paparazzi to hit Thailand. It wasn’t until yesterday that the media got a glance of the couple at Thailand airport preparing to aboard to Hong Kong.
Cecilia was wearing a cap and black shades. The airport had many gates and they marched into a gate where there was only one reporter that approached them. Nicholas immediately muttered “Well, only one reporter? “ Suddenly there was a scene of chaos as the paparazzi rushed out of other gates to approach the couple. Although the couple had male and female airline security, Nicholas still didn’t feel comfortable about Lucas’s safety. He jokes to the media “ You better not bash into my son or I won’t let you off” His assistant also joked “You don’t even let off a baby? Then starts to play with Lucas, making him giggle. Not sure whether the weather was too hot but Lucas appeared to have eczema all over his face.

Because there was too much paparazzi taking pictures, Cecilia and Nicholas were over crowded and lost each other. Nicholas had to shout to Cecilia in order for her to find him and they held hands tightly. Cecilia looked down and did not say a word.
Nicholas did not respond to any questions until he was asked whether he had fun in Thailand with his wife? He responded “We came over here to work, not to have fun.”

They got to the end of the gate and Nicholas smiled “See you all in Hong Kong”. Cecilia was then seen carrying Lucas.
Accordingly to the original plan, Nicholas had further costume fittings. But for unknown reasons the production team had allowed him to go back to Hong Kong early.

The couple were also flying on different aircrafts. He was eager to change his ticket last night to enable them to fly together, but there were no seats available. But the good thing was there was only a 20 minute gap in departing time for each aircraft. Nevertheless it was a warm and touching moment to see them so close together.

Fahrenciti Event

Of course, the most suprising thing was the four boys after watching their memories from the VCR. At first, they were smiling while thinking about their past, but after seeing the support they have they couldn't help but turn their eyes red. The first was the always the "seeming to never show his weakness" Wu Chun's father showing Wu Chun his caringness and telling him to take care of his body and go for a health check.

Next is Calvin. He mentioned that he never thought his strict father would let the company record this tape. Calvin was filled with emotions and after seeing his father on the video, he said "Isnt that the company's red sofa? How did you get my father to go to the company?" After calming down and listening to how Calvin got into this career and his father's hope for him, his eyes turned red and breathed hard to keep his tears inside.

Now its the faithful son Jiro. In the video, Wang Mama told Jiro two of her most important things in her life. The first thing was, marrying Jiro's father. The second thing was having Jiro. This made us all very emotional. After hearing this, Jiro was very happy but it was hard to stop crying.

Lastly is the one who is busily acting in the Clue Collector, Aaron. Aaron's mom told him in the video that he was the pride of the family. Because of his injury acting up again and his emotions, he began to cry. When all the other members saw his condition, they forgot about their own tears and helped Aaron calm down. (The company wanted the members to listen to the encouragment of their family and have a positive attitiude and energy and not make them cry! Oh no! Hope everyone will forgive this and hope that all the members will be able to share the sadness and happyness. If this made you guys cry too, then sorry!)

Caption under first pic: Going back on stage, the four members wanted to thank the support from their family. Jiro was so busy with fimling he sacraficed his bonding time with his mom and made his mom worry to wait for him before going to sleep. The always seeming to be strong Wu Chun couldn't help but go back and wipe his tears. But because of the host's encourgament, the four members hugged each other and cried.

Caption under last pic: With the encouragement of the Host Ken and the encouragment from the company members and fans,the four boys controlled their emotions. Lastly, this event was happy and sad made everyone in fahrenheit members' family happy. Thanks for everyone's support!
