IU and Byeon Woo-seok in "Perfect Crown"

Disney+

MANILA, Philippines — The Disney+ drama "Perfect Crown" starring IU and Byeon Woo-Seok is now the platform's most-viewed Korean title premiere of all time globally and outside of the Asia-Pacific region.

Based on views after 28 days of streaming, the series reached 43 million hours streams globally and achieved week-over-week growth.

The show's eighth episode in particular saw a 43% increase in views from the April 10 premiere (based on seven days of views).

"Perfect Crown" also became the number one most viewed Korean title premiere in the United States, Canada, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), LATAM (Latin America), Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and the Philippines.

The series follows Woo-seok as Grand Prince I-AN, who is embroiled in a power struggle with other members of the royal family, striking up a marriage of convenience with IU's Huiju — the heir to one of Korea's largest conglomerates.

"But as the pair work together to advance their own ends, emotions begin to flare and things don’t go quite as smoothly as planned," goes a logline for the show.

"Alchemy of Souls" and "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" director Park Joon-hwa helms the project on a script by Yoo Ji-won.

The last two episodes of "Perfect Crown" drops on May 15 and May 16, respectively at 10:20 p.m. (Philippine time).
