## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 91% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.3/10.[42] Chase Hutchinson of Collider rated it 5/10, and said "the trouble is that the rest of the series just marches right past its most promising elements without stopping for more than a second".[43] Jonathan Wilson of Ready Steady Cut proclaimed it "the combination of familiar elements in this specific composition is enough to provide plenty of consistent drama, especially given the sheer quality of the production".[44] In Decider, Joel Keller said "despite our reservations, Gyeongseong Creature has a good story buried in all the murkiness but we're not sure if the show will actually be able to focus on that story as the first season goes along".[45] Brian Lowry wrote in CNN Entertainment, "it might not match Squid Game's viewership, but for sheer entertainment value surpasses it in a way that deserves to be a monster hit".[46] MJ Marfori from TV5 Philippines described the series "as blending suspense and romance and succeeding in that challenge" and "sure to be a popular worldwide K-series".[47] Indonesian writer Ayu Utami stated that "the forties era sets and wardrobe were quite surprising".[47]

### Viewership

[edit]

Gyeongseong Creature ranked first in South Korea three days after its release, was Number 3 in Netflix's "Global Top 10" weekly list of the most-watched non-English television shows, and received a warm response in 20 countries, being listed in the Top 10 including India, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan.[48][49] It remained a Top 10 Netflix show for an additional three weeks.[50][51][52]
