What is the plot of Hyena?
The following synopsis has been provided by Soompi:
Who’s in the cast of Hyena?
The following cast members have been confirmed to star in the first season of Hyena:
Veteran actress Kim Hye Soo returns for her first television role in almost 4 years. Her fantastic and long filmography began in the eighties when she started her first year in high school. Many of her fans will be excited to see her return for Hyena.
Many Netflix subscribers will also recognize Joo Ji Hoon as the Crown Prince, Lee Chang in the popular zombie horror series Kingdom.
Can Hyena take the top spot for highest-rated Korean drama in public broadcast?
It would be a great undertaking for Hyena to claim the number one spot for the highest-rated Korean drama in public broadcast, as the highest-rated drama, You and I, still holds the number one spot 22 years after it was broadcast in 1998.
In the past ten years, not a single series has been able to break into the top twenty, the highest of which, the KSB2 series My Only One, reached the 29th spot in 2019. With the ever-increasing number of cable channels and a variety of entertainment for audiences to choose from, it becomes harder and harder for terrestrial TV to earn higher ratings.
The highest-rated SBS series is Sandglass, which currently sits at the number 4 spot. The 21st episode in the series run earned a nationwide rating of 64.7%, and had an average rating of 50.8% overall across the season.
For Hyena to hit break into even the top 20, the series has an extensive amount of work to do.
