tvN X TVING original drama 'Wonkyung' (directed by Kim Sang-ho/scripted by Lee Young-mi/produced by Studio Dragon/JS Pictures) captivated viewers in just two episodes, catching both rabbits due to their increased popularity and ratings. The viewership of the second episode, which aired on the 7th, was 5.5% nationwide and up to 6.9%, up from the previous episode. (Based on paid platforms that integrate cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea) Since its release, the number of paid subscribers per week has also topped the list. Above all, "It's fun. I can see some signs", "The actors' acting is crazy". "A long-awaited historical drama came out" Viewers' expectations continued, and it became a hot topic at once. In addition to the success factors of 'Wonder', we looked at the more expected points in the future.
▶1. A good acting restaurant
The part that showed the hottest response was the actors' acting skills show. Cha Joo-young and Lee Hyun-wook completely transformed into Joseon's queen 'Wongyeong' and the third king Taejong 'Ibangwon' to the extent that it was their first attempt in a historical drama, raising their immersion. Cha Joo-young has completed a character with a 200% synchro rate with her elegant dignity and charisma that she emits with calm eyes, and is already showing signs of making viewers' 'favorite character'. Lee Hyun-wook also left a deep impression by portraying the complex inner side of Lee Bang-won surrounding unstable royal authority and showing a character differentiated from the character Lee Bang-won seen in previous works.
There was also a person who planted a unique presence. Lee Da-dam, who secretly expressed the confusing psychology of 'Charyeong', who chose to visit the room to survive even though he felt guilty for Won-kyung after wearing Seung-eun, and Isiah, who believes in the love of the room and vividly depicts the Yeong-sil of the concubine who constantly stimulates Won-kyung. In particular, Lee Sung-min, who made a special appearance as Taejo 'Lee Sung-gye', dominated the screen with an overwhelming aura despite his short appearance, exploding the tension that tightened the heart.

The couple hates it more fiercely to love it hot and hate it to death, but underneath it is a deep love for the only 'my side'. The same goes for Won-kyung and Lee Bang-won. Won-kyung is a husband who tries to humiliate himself and push him away, but when he was at the crossroads of life and death, he blew himself up and protected him. His wife and wife's family-in-law hurt his pride, and the guest, who was lonely, also fell into a deeper internal conflict when he saw Won-kyung, who chose him without hesitation even in a situation where his life was threatened. This feeling of love and hatred between Wonkyung and Bangwon continued to unfold, intertwining with the turbulent political situation caused by the royal authority that was not fully established in the early Joseon Dynasty.
Lee Bang-won was anxious about the influence of Wonkyung and his wife's family, who are still strongly in the royal court, which neither his father nor the Ming Dynasty recognized. Therefore, Yeongsil, who was raising his child, was brought into the palace, and Won-kyung was kept in check by embracing Chaeryeong, the body type that Won-kyung loved. Won-kyung was enraged by the unbearable shame and jealousy. I wonder how far the emotions of the two people, who are left with only eyes that resent each other, will reach.
▶3. Relational restaurants
The new relationship, which fluctuates with development, is an unmissable viewing point in 'Twilight'. Not only Won-kyung and Lee Bang-won, the center of the love-hate narrative, but also Yi Bang-won, who felt threatened by his father, and Lee Seong-gye, who was his own person to kill his son, but now became the king's woman, Young-sil and Chaeryeong, who were all the foundations for each character. Expectations are also raised about how their relationship will change in the future.
On top of that, Kim Sang-ho's flexible production, which conveyed the psychology of each character in depth with delicate level control and harmonized the atmosphere of the drama, also fascinated viewers. This is because he traveled to more than 100 locations across the country for a year to capture the beauty of various seasons. In addition, plans that maximize the efficiency and satisfaction of viewers with differentiated versions of TV and OTT are creating successful synergies on each platform and are receiving favorable responses of "breakthrough".
tvN X TVING original drama 'Wonkyung' will be pre-released on episode 3-4 at 2 p.m. on TVing today (13th), followed by episode 3 at 8:50 p.m. on tvN. The prequel series 'Twilight: The Relationship of Dano' will be released as a TVing original on the 21st (Tue).
