Its following drama, <The Great Queen Seondeok> also started off with a high spirit, setting a 17.1% rating for its first episode. This makes MBC conquer Mon-Tue / Morning / Daily drama times, reaffirming its title as the Kingdom of Dramas.

In particular, MBC’s morning drama <White Lie> recorded a rating over 20%—rare for a morning show—, completely securing its middle-aged female audience. This rating is 2 to 3 times larger than those of its rival broadcasters. Moreover, the popularity of <White Lie> led to the unusual phenomenon that a morning drama has the highest rating amongst all programs on Wed/Thu/Fridays by the three terrestrial broadcasters.

Furthermore, staring from June 10^th, the sensitive and fantastic story of <Triple>, directed by Lee Yun-jung PD of <Coffee Prince>, is going to be broadcast on Wed-Thursdays. Hence, MBC is soon expected to achieve its grand slam, conquering all of Mon-Tue / Wed-Thu / Morning / Daily drama times.
