Reception
This drama did not fare very well in Korea, as some believe that this is due to it running alongside popular drama My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. However, Playful Kiss has a large international fanbase and is popular online. It became popular in Philippines but it didn't match My Girlfriend is a Gumiho's rating. Soon after competing shows at the same broadcasting times ended, Playful Kiss's rating slightly raised. The broadcasting rights were sold to over 12 countries, which brought in about ₩4 Billion, or around $3.45 million dollars.[2]
