Reception
Despite a big budget of ₩10 billion, Korean Peninsula underperformed in the ratings. The action/political thriller premiered with a promising rating of 1.649%, but succeeding episodes dropped to around 0.8%. This led to TV Chosun cutting down the number of episodes from the planned 24 to 18.
