Chapter 920 "Kingdom" exploded

At ten o'clock in the evening, "Kingdom" was launched on time.

Many people in the streets and alleys of Goryeo took out their mobile phones or tablets to watch this TV series which is very popular online.

However, what they didn't expect was that the show would only have eight episodes.

Of course, what surprised them even more was that this time "Kingdom" actually released all the episodes at once, instead of adopting the previous strategy of updating one or two episodes per week.

Lin Xuan'er looked at the computer, feeling a little incredulous. "What new trick did Brother Yang come up with this time? He actually played the entire series directly?"

"Because it's a short series," Su Yin thought seriously, unable to remember the last time she'd seen such a short series. "But it's great this way. No need to wait, and you can watch the whole story in one sitting. If word of mouth is good, more and more people will definitely watch it."

"You only need to buy a membership to watch the whole thing in one go," Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. "This benefit is too good. I now feel that requiring payment to watch some dramas in advance is simply a rip-off."

"Indeed," Wang Xingrui nodded. "We're probably going to have to stay up late tonight. I have to finish watching this drama before I can go to sleep!"

On Twitter in Korea, discussions about "Kingdom" are also rapidly increasing.

Some of them were indeed surprised by the broadcast mode of "Kingdom".

I didn’t expect that there is such a simple and straightforward way to broadcast dramas nowadays.

Especially nowadays, many Korean TV dramas start strong but end badly, leaving those who have been following them for a few months feeling extremely exhausted.

As soon as I saw "Kingdom", I could watch the finale tonight, and eight episodes didn't seem like too few at all, they were definitely all the best.

Just for the sake of this broadcast mode, some people are planning to give it a try.

As for membership, buying one month's membership is not expensive for most Korean netizens.

So Guan Fei saw in the background that since the launch of "Kingdom", the number of paid members in Goryeo has increased quite rapidly.

As for the audience who were attracted by the subject matter before, they had already turned on their computers on time and couldn't wait to watch the first episode, just like Moonlight Girl.

Tang Yue was terrified at the moment, fearing that a monster-like zombie would appear in front of the screen in the next second.

But the fast-paced first episode caught Tang Yue's attention almost instantly, making it impossible for her to give up the show.

"Tangtang, how do you feel?" Su Yin felt that Tang Yue's grip on her arm had increased, probably because she guessed what she was feeling.

"Honestly, it's quite good. From the beginning till now, there's not a single tedious plot. My heart was in my throat the whole time, terrified that a zombie would appear. But at the same time, I couldn't wait to find out what this zombie looked like and where it was hiding."

For them, the one-hour film is also extremely satisfying.

This episode is almost equivalent to half a movie, and the plot is so compact that the viewing experience is quite good.

"I just like this one-hour length," Lin Xuan'er had already clicked on the second episode, and the others had no objections. "It covers a lot of plot in one episode, and then leaves a suspense at the end. It's very comfortable to watch. Unlike some dramas that last half an hour and feel like nothing happened at all."

"Yeah," Wang Xingrui nodded. "Also, the costumes, props, and sound effects for this show are all fantastic. I suspect the former must have been specially researched; it's so pleasing to the eye. And the latter is just too strong. Every time the background music plays, my heart races."

"Yes," Su Yin nodded vigorously. "There's also drum sounds in it, boom, boom, boom, very rhythmic. It sounds like zombies are chasing people from behind."

Although Zhou Yiyang had seen the entire film before, he still sat on the sofa and watched it again.

This first episode was really well made, and some of the small adaptations made the plot more reasonable.

As for the sense of suspense and atmosphere, it is indeed the director's strong point. Although the zombies' faces are never shown, the fear they bring is always there.

While the second episode was playing, Zhou Yiyang also opened Weibo.

He really wanted to see if anyone was discussing "Kingdom" on Weibo right now.

What surprised him was that not only did people watch it, but it was also very popular, reaching the tenth place on the hot search list.

#“Kingdom” is online#, it looks like it was bought.

However, Zhou Yiyang knew very well that he had never spent money to buy hot searches. It was most likely that netizens searched for it themselves.

"This popularity," Zhou Yiyang himself was surprised, "seems to be higher than several recent new dramas in China."

When you open the discussions on Weibo, you’ll see that they’re all about the plot.

The combination of zombies and period drama is quite creative! The first episode was really interesting, I loved it!

I don't recognize many of the actors, but their acting is so great! I actually saw undercurrents in this palace drama. Mr. Zhou, please make a political drama next time!

[The fact that all the episodes were released at once is enough to make it a huge hit with other shows on the market. I wonder if this is a bonus for Yi Yang Entertainment's first time producing a foreign series. Can our own shows follow suit?]

[This is unlikely in China, as audiences are accustomed to the current broadcast format. Furthermore, broadcasting in episodes makes for easier marketing. Furthermore, some long series, if released all at once, might discourage viewers.]

[I just hope that Moonlight in China can quickly synchronize "Kingdom". I don't want to use a VPN to watch it, it's really a bit laggy!]

In Goryeo, discussions related to "Kingdom" have become the number one hot search tonight.

The director who held a grudge against Zhou Yiyang felt disheartened when he saw that his own navy had made no progress.

How could he have imagined that a Goryeo drama invested in by foreigners would become a big hit in Goryeo.

He also saw on Instagram that several entertainment bloggers he followed gave very high praise to the drama.

He was not the kind of person who would act recklessly. After seeing that all his efforts were in vain, he cut his losses in time and recalled his navy.

Then he went to watch "Kingdom" with a pinch of his nose. He wanted to see if this drama was really that amazing.

The actors who participated in this drama are not top-tier, but they are all laughing at home now.

No one expected that "Kingdom" would be so popular. It is so popular that all social media platforms in Korea are now flooded with this drama.

The actors, plot, special effects, and creativity are all excellent, so the audience's reputation will certainly not be low.

The popularity of "Kingdom" has also spread to other Asian countries.

Not only did a lot of people on Weibo want to see it, but many netizens in Japan also left messages on Twitter, requesting synchronization.

Zhou Yiyang looked at the business performance feedback Liu Fenfang gave him, and he knew that he had made the right bet this time.
