FOREVERMORE VS DREAM DAD / BE CAREFUL WITH MY HEART is the Third Teleserye in TWO MONTHS in Kazakhstan: / Жүрегім саған аманат

I guess, it's not just a matter of selling. One should also determine if one is selling the right mix of products so that the general interest of the market would be maintained. Just like in Africa & Vietnam, when the first teleserye shown became a hit, the competition joined too the game. Men Sagan Gashykpyn (Forevermore) was really a hit at 31Kanal so they immediately bought their second teleserye Dream Dad. Now here comes the news another station, Kazakhstan TV, has just bought Be Careful With My Heart. Suddenly I remember  my topic on a previous article: good stories with forgettable stars (Read the article FORTHCOMING TELESERYES IN KAZAKSTAN here). 

Just to get the pulse, let's compare the viewership of the two teleseryes currently showing in a Kazakh  video site. Upper one is Forevermore, the lower one is Dream Dad. Red circle is viewcount. Blue one is the upload date. Let's compare the latest uploads: part 54 of the former & part 3 of the latter.

FOREVERMORE    (July 14, 2015 uploaded) - 7081 views

DREAM DAD  (July 15, 2015 uploaded) -  986 views

Right there you can see the slackening interest. To think, Dream Dad was Number 1 more times in the Philippines over Forevermore . I can see what's waiting for Be Careful With My Heart about which an Ugandan viewer commented "the stars are not as pretty as  in the other Filipino serials". To think, Kazakhs are particular with the looks of the stars, that we can infer from the rather lukewarm reception of Dream Dad.

The profile of Kazakhstan as a market: it is Mongoloid in appearance but Turkic in culture and language. Most of the serials shown are Turkish & Indian.

THE ANATOMY OF FAME: Just How Popular is FOREVERMORE in Kazakhstan?

Just how popular is FOREVERMORE (Men Sagan Gashykpyn)  in Kazakhstan? How about having more than 250,000 fan club membership in 2 months  in a 17 million population country?
Below are the 7 biggest. There are many more with more than a thousand to as little as just 30 members.

(UPDATE: August 9, 2015- Note that with the ending of Forevermore in Kazakhstan tonight, most of the fan clubs were converted into "Got To Believe" fans club. The latter will start tomorrow, August 10, so it will start with a lot of captured fans already. Good for the young Pinoy artists because they have the same audience anyway. Good thinking on the Kazakh broadcast people).
UPDATE: August 7, 2016
You will find most of the links have disappeared. In fact, most of the links to the countless fanpages of popular Pinoy stars in the VK have simply disappeared. Sabotage? I just started a series of articles investigating this mystery. Please click "Tales of SABOTAGE" at the sidebar.

After Body Heat in ¨Diary Ng Panget¨, Heated Ears in ¨That Thing Called Tadhana¨, here´s the climax, Forevermore¨´s Warm Hug

Pinoy writers are certainly getting creative, they´re becoming masters of the ¨kilig moment¨. Here we see a combination of the Wet Jacket / Body Heat kilig moment in ¨Diary Ng Panget¨ and  the scene in Sagada of heating ears in ¨That Thing Called Tadhana¨. The effect is a more prolonged, sustained kilig moment.

"FOREVERMORE" IN KAZAKHSTAN (Мен саған ғашықпын): Dubbing in Kazakh, Subtitle in Russian

For those who are wondering how it would  feel like watching the Kazakh version of the hit Pinoy teleserye, here is a sample. Kazakhstan has two official languages- Kazakh & Russian, the so-called Language of Inter-ethnic Communication (much like English in the Philippines). A third of the population are ethnic Russians. The dialogues in the teleserye are in Kazakh but the subtitles are in Russian.

The Kazakh title is read as "Men sagan gashykpyn", meaning "I am in love with you" (or simply "I Love You"). In Russian, it is "я влюблен в тебя ".

"FOREVERMORE" Already Showing in Kazakhstan TV: «Мен саған ғашықпын»

The most beautiful Mongoloids are found in Kazakhstan, especially in the northern portion (I've visited the place) because of the mixture of Russian Slavs  & Kazakhs.The top Pinoy teleserye will surely win the Kazakh youths' hearts.
