@ hapha, i think there's no need streaming live , we have the torrent link nearly right after the episode was broadcasted.
the opening is fine but the theme music is a bit boring.
Galmoon King ? if I'm not wrong , there are 2 persons : Galmoonwang Baekban and Galmoonwang Gukban are the brothers of king Jinpyeong and Gukban is the father of Queen Jindeok.
Mod: edited out download link.

I mentioned this before but it's worth repeating. We don't allow download links to be posted here.
The opening credits aren't bad but they go through some of the characters kind of quick. It could have been longer too.

oops...sorry , i don't mean to break the rule here. I have just been warned in darksmurfsub for the same reason. I wonder why you guys don't allow to post download/streaming links here ?
good news that this show will be starting on KBSWorld on Sep. 29th .

'Galmun King' is a title which had been given to an important man such as king's father, father-in-law, husband, or brother since the start of Shilla kingdom(57 BCE to 935 CE), so it lasted for nearly 1,000 years. What 'galmun' means or why they needed the king-galmun king system is still unclear. Queen Sun-Deok's husband was also given that title. In the first episode of the new historical you will see the brother of the king as galmun king.

KBS America's online subscription site www.mvibo.com should get it soon. So the first episode ratings at 12.9% is better than the past ones Geunchogo and Gwanggaeto, but only slightly. But with King's Dream riding on the tails of the number 1 drama in Korea, My Husband Got a Family, this is disappointing ratings that so many of those viewers jumped off after that show. I am imagining not happy KBS executives. I hope they remain patient. I hope ratings improve in the future because I don't see a future in this genre when fusion shows like Moon Embracing the Sun and lower budget series make a lot more money now, in the past these types of series were the ones that were able to attract those kinds of viewers and ratings. I hope ratings start to go higher when Choi Soo Jong starts to take over the show when his character is more present, otherwise it will be more Moon Embracing the Sun type series in the future, cheaper to make and making hundreds of billions of won that these real historical dramas can't.

......I've seen better openings.... King Geunchogo probably has the best openings out of all the three conqueror king dramas

This is a concern because this may be the last type of drama we see of this type

Sucks, doesn't it. Didn't you mention a similar situation in Japan earlier in regards to historicals?
On the more optimistic side, and this is mostly speculative, mind you, a time could come when dramas of this type are resurrected. When there's a dark age, a dawn of a better age takes its place. Maybe I'm just easing myself with these thoughts

I don't know what to think about the KDrama viewership anymore. Disheartening. Ratings on the second episode declined slightly, to 12.6%. I hope that ratings information on Drama Wiki is wrong. What makes more damaging is, tonight was the final episode of the major series My Husband Got a Family which drew the biggest audience of the year for any KDrama at 49.2%. Where did all those viewers go after that show? Next week and forward, King's Dream may not have that kind of major lead drama anymore to help it with a new one starting.
I am trying to be optimistic that even series like Queen Seon Deok started out with ratings in the teens then shot up, but that has not happened to a long Historical series of this kind in a long time, only the new fusion fantasy stuff seem to be able to catch that fire.

Yes its the same in Japan as well .
What is worrying is they may change the script to being in CSJ earlier or turn it into more of a romp .

yeah it sucks...the rating seems decreasing here is for the 2nd ep. TNmS: Nationwide : 12.6 (9th), Seoul: 12.4 (8th) AGB: Nationwide: 12.2 (8th); Seoul: 11.8 (8th) I agree with all you guys... but i feel half pessimistic and half optimistic. it's difficult to predict the future but i think we have to wait long long time to a new pure sageuk project. I have good stuff for us ...dramacrazy has uploaded this drama , sub is willing to released so soon , the project will be starting from Oct.
