Strategies boosted viewership numbers

The show utilized an experimental bonus episode and a media blitz to reach more people. A fake K-pop song also helped propel the series into the pop culture conversation. Initial ratings climbed 40 percent after these promotional efforts.

International viewership doubled significantly

The international audience for the series doubled during this second season run. The platform gave the show every opportunity to succeed commercially despite earlier hopes being unmet.
