"Goblin" actor Gong Yoo also surpassed Lee Min Ho in popularity in local and international scenes.

For the last three weeks, Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun's drama held the top spot, but was immediately replaced by "Goblin" with its pilot episode showing the star power of the actor.

Not only that "Goblin" has surpassed "The Legend Of The Blue Sea," it shockingly doubled its rating score. This means that it also overtook Park Bo Gum's "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" and "Reply 1988" and Song Joong Ki's "Descendants Of The Sun".
