Atlantic Empire
A while ago, bored and ready to revisit "Atlantic Empire", Ran Goose, when he saw the third episode, he couldn't hold on, because the first episode was 56 episodes long. Suddenly curious, I wanted to see which TV series in the world was super invincible and the longest. (Adds are welcome)
In fact, I have not seen it, because I personally have not yet achieved TV freedom, and the remote control has not been controlled for a long time. Korean dramas are the signature dish of my tv, so let's first take a look at the Korean dramas that are known for their length, and there are several korean dramas with more than 500 episodes. (Because those who don't get 500 aren't enough to qualify)

The theme of the drama is obstetrics and gynecology life, vividly describing the life style and humorous nature of Koreans. (I have not seen it, and the beauty was still relatively natural)

★1 "Guiding Lights" 18262 episodes

The Guiding Light was called "The Guiding Light" or GL for short before 1975, and was written by soap opera writer Irna Phillips.
Originally first broadcast by ABS on January 25, 1937, it moved to CBS television on June 30, 1952, and due to declining ratings, The Guiding Light aired its last episode in September 2009, totaling 18,262 episodes, starting with a radio drama and having been broadcast for 72 years. Guinness Records calls it the longest TV series in the world.
The above is a super long, super episode of the TV series. Don't know how much you've seen?
In my opinion, the current popular "Country Love Story" is also quite strong, and it is uncertain that it can also enter the ranks of a thousand episodes one day.
