## Historic viewership record on Disney+
The Korean series *The Perfect Crown* achieved the highest number of viewers ever recorded for a South Korean production launch on the Disney+ platform. According to *The Hollywood Reporter*, the first two episodes were responsible for this unprecedented figure, placing the drama at the top among all Korean series premieres available on the service.
## How the release works
Episodes are released in a double‑track schedule on Fridays and Saturdays, allowing viewers to follow the storyline continuously. The production follows the story of Seong Hui‑ju (played by IU), the second daughter of an influential family who seeks to change her fate by entering a convenience marriage with Prince Yi An (Byeon Woo‑seok). While the arrangement initially seems merely formal, daily cohabitation causes the relationship to evolve into something unexpected.
The series is directed by Park Joon‑hwa and Bae Hee‑young, who are responsible for bringing to the screen the blend of palace intrigue and romance that has attracted thousands of viewers since its premiere.
