Singer-actor Yook Sung-jae is off to a powerful start with his new fantasy drama The Ghost's Palace (Gwigung), capturing both TV and streaming audiences with its unique charm.

📺 Strong Start on SBS & Netflix

The SBS Friday-Saturday drama aired its first two episodes on April 18–19, signaling the rise of a new fantasy-period rom-com craze.

Episode 1 premiered with an impressive 9.2% national viewership rating, surpassing the 6.1% opening of its predecessor Buried Hearts.

Episode 2 saw a slight dip (down 0.9%), likely due to competing with Kim Hye-ja's new drama—but still maintained No.1 in its time slot.

The series also ranked No.1 in Thailand and the Philippines, reflecting early global interest

It took the top spot on Kinolights' "Trend Ranking" (April 19), outperforming both films and dramas in overall buzz
