I was thinking the same and I can most definitely feel the hype, but curious why we only have about 14k watchers…
Rowoon is popular as an actor, vs Junho for the kdrama stans. Believe me, I also don't get it. What I hear the most is that he's tall. 🤷♀️ Park Eun Bin hard carried, but holy crap was she unconvincingly masculine for a gender bender, I couldn't suspend disbelief at all. Yes, 2PM is 2nd Gen vs SF9 as 3rd Gen.
Update on Seyoung's 15% pledge, she was talked out of that dance and is now doing My House too (I hope Jun K. laughs all the way to the bank with how much exposure his song is getting 🤣
I just read that today's video call with reporters for the ending interview has yielded no less than 81 articles on Junho. I didn't see a count for Seyoung, but.. Huh? 81?? Twitter is a gdamned firehose today.

It'd be nice, but since it's a viki original, idk that they would. I see this page got updated to include Apple+, too. That's interesting but still niche compared to Netflix.

My 2 or 4 cents..
I know people that didn't want to watch because they thought the leads aren't attractive. That's just plain ridiculous, but that's enough for them to balk.
Although Junho is an idol, he's not Rowoon or DO-famous among drama watchers. KSH also has a huge fan base.
Mr Queen was KJH's first project since CLOY, so I'm sure that got a lot of eyeballs.
It may come down to Netflix and popularity of the leads, imo, and this drama had neither. Viu and viki cover a lot of ground around the world and this drama was on both, but it's still not Netflix. Just who carries the drama seems to make a huge impact on drawing viewers, especially since a lot of people have Netflix for general streaming they end up picking a broader set of new and habitual viewers, whereas you already need to be an Asian programming consumer to sub to viki and Viu, since that's all they carry (pls correct me if I'm wrong.)

- Tears at the end of 5 when Deok Im pledges loyalty
- Tears through laughter when painting while drunk, and the paintings themselves
- Tears when he turns around at the gate
- Dumpling soup laughs (they broke character here, it was so sweet)

Maybe I follow too many k-itppas, most of what I see for him are links and smatterings of translations 😭
