The upcoming MBC drama Perfect Crown has already stormed to No.1 in buzz rankings before its first episode has even aired, setting a historic precedent and signaling the arrival of a major television event.
Set to premiere on April 10 at 9:40 p.m., Perfect Crown unfolds in a constitutional monarchy version of Korea. The story follows a wealthy chaebol heiress burdened by her commoner status and a royal prince who has everything in title but nothing in reality. The pairing of IU and Byeon Woo-seok as the central couple has already driven anticipation to explosive levels.
According to Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex rankings, Perfect Crown ranked No.1 in TV-OTT drama buzz for the fourth week of March. It marks the first time in the history of the survey that a drama has topped the overall rankings prior to its broadcast. The series also dominated key indicators, including Voice of Netizen (VON) and social media rankings, both landing at No.1.
Individually, IU and Byeon Woo-seok ranked No.3 and No.4 in the TV-OTT actor buzz rankings, reinforcing the impact of their high-profile casting.
The ensemble cast, including Noh Sang-hyun, Gong Seung-yeon, Yoo Su-bin, Lee Yeon, Lee Jae-won, and Chae Seo-an, is further elevating expectations, with strong anticipation surrounding the cast’s on-screen synergy.
