According to recently released research from the Good Data Corporation, "Gyeongseong Creature" is the most popular South Korean series in South Korea as measured by social media engagement for the fourth week of December. In its second week, "Gyeongseong Creature" was able to overcome "My Demon" which had been the previous top drama. A representative for the Good Data Report stated the terrestrial dramas being on break during Christmas may have had some influence on this.

However, the same representative also cited the positive reception to "Gyeongseong Creature" as being an important contributing factor as well. The data also had some strong early indicators for "Love Song for Illusion" which was referenced in the most news stories. Lee Young-ae of "Maestra: Strings of Truth" was the most popular performer, jumping from third place the previous week on the strength of her appearance in viral videos.
The relevant data was released on January 3rd, and covers social media analyzed from December 25th to December 31st. The combined Fundex includes both terrestrial programming as well as streaming projects. "Gyeongseong Creature" had its first part released worldwide via Netflix on December 22nd and will see its second part released on January 5th.
