The content provider not only continues to show k-dramas but it co-produced one of the most popular recent k-dramas "The Heirs," starring Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, Choi Jin Hyuk and Krystal Jung. It was the first time that an American content site co-produced an original k-drama.

Not only did the site acquire 20 million international viewers during its first five years, but it has also helped to attract international interest for k-dramas. Popular series shown on the site, such as "Good Doctor" and "Reply 1997" were recently licensed by American television networks CBS and FOX for adaptations.
