According to Good Data Corporation, "Perfect crown" returns to number 1 on this week's TV drama chart. IU and Byeon Woo Seok hold first and second positions respectively in the actors chart, while Gong Seung Yeon ranks 7th.
The film opened with a viewership rating of 7.8% and gradually increased through each episode, peaking at 11.1% in episode 4, according to Nielsen Korea, despite mixed opinions about the content and acting.
Korean media commented that from the beginning, "Perfect crown" had an advantage thanks to the attractive cast. The fact that IU and Byeon Woo Seok had collaborated 10 years ago in "Moonlight Lover" and reunited in this project further increased the audience's expectations.
Wikitree believes that the Korean film industry is shifting from personal attraction to "combined strength". Not just whether an actor plays the main role, but who they play with - this factor is gradually becoming a "brand", contributing to shaping expectations and level of interest from the beginning.
In that context, information about the cast is no longer just news but becomes the first step of promotion, directly affecting the way audiences approach a movie before broadcasting. And "Perfect crown" has grasped this element correctly.
In the following positions, "Bloodhounds 2" ranked 2nd in the TV drama chart. Bi Rain ranked 3rd in the actor chart, followed by Woo Do Hwan in 4th place and Lee Sang Yi in 8th place.
The movie "Climax" ranked 3rd in the TV drama chart. Joo Ji Hoon ranked 5th in the actors chart, Ha Ji Won ranked 6th and Cha Joo Young ranked 10th.
While "Phantom lawyer" ranked 4th in the TV drama rankings, Yoo Yeon Seok ranked 9th in the actor rankings.
This week, the movie "Yumi's cells 3" ranked 5th, while the movies "Concrete Dream", "We are all trying here", "Siren's Kiss" and "Doctor Shin" ranked from 6th to 9th respectively.
Notably, the upcoming movie "Sold out on you" (temporary translation: Out of stock, love) debuted in 10th place.
