Four years after the success of Goblin, South Korean actress Kim Go Eun is back in leading roles in television shows.

Can The King: Eternal Monarch break all-time records in K-drama?

It’s going to take something special for a new K-Drama series to smash into the highest-rated Korean dramas in public broadcast.

To reach the Top 50, The King: Eternal Monarch would need to have nearly half the South Korean viewership. As it stands now, K-drama will require at most 45%.

Between 2010 and 2019, only six K-dramas were able break into the Top 50.

It’s a tall order, but The King: Eternal Monarch has every chance of being a great success.
