SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Going Palace', starring Yook Sung-jae, is showing signs of success, showing remarkable performance not only on terrestrial but also on online platforms.

Guigung, which began broadcasting last week, drew attention from viewers with the unique charm of fantasy historical dramas. Nielsen Korea's first-time viewership averaged 9.2% nationwide, far exceeding its predecessor 'Treasure Island' (6.1%), and the second episode fell slightly to 8.3% but still maintained its No. 1 rating at the same time.

OTT's response is even hotter. Immediately after Netflix's release, it ranked No. 1 in the `Top 10 of Korea today' and ranked No. 1 in overseas regions such as Thailand and the Philippines, drawing global responses. As of the 19th, it ranked No. 1 overall in the OTT recommendation platform "Kino Rights" 'trend Ranking' (as of the 19th), making it the highest ranking in film and drama.




"Gwigung" is a fantasy romantic comedy that takes place when the shaman's daughter Yeori (Kim Ji-yeon) and Lee Mugi (Yook Sung-jae) in Yun Gap's body are intertwined with the eight ears, and the fresh world view, rapid development, and stable performance of actors are well received.

The third episode of 'Going Palace' will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 25th.
