According to Viu, a popular OTT platform in Asia, tvN’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Lovely Runner”took the top spot on Viu’s weekly chart for the first week of May (April 29th ~ May 5th) in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
This accomplishment was achieved within a span of only 4 weeks since the launch of “Lovely Runner”in the local market. Aside from dominating the charts in certain countries, it also secured the second spot in Hong Kong and the Philippines, and third place in Thailand. Given this impressive progress, there is a growing curiosity as to whether “Lovely Runner”will continue its upward trajectory and claim the top spot in major Asian markets until the end of its run.
Moreover, the hit drama “Extraordinary You”, starring Kim Hye-yoon, has also seen a surge in its popularity due to the success of “Lovely Runner”. It rapidly climbed to the 11th spot in Indonesia and the 12th spot in the Philippines.
“The drama “Lovely Runner”centers around the story of Ryu Seon-jae, played by Byeon Woo-seok, a well-known idol who died under questionable circumstances, believed to be suicide. Im Sol, played by Kim Hye-yoon, is a devoted fan who is deeply affected by Seon-jae’s passing. In a twist of fate, she is given the opportunity to travel back in time and prevent his death, ultimately saving them both. The drama has gained high viewership ratings in Korea, reaching nearly 5% in its fifth week of airing and drawing much attention for its exceptional performance.”
At present, Viu is a regional OTT platform based in Hong Kong under PCCW that provides popular Korean content such as “Reborn Rich”and “Taxi Driver 2″to 16 countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. It currently showcases a range of Korean dramas including “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”, “Lovely Runner”, and “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon”, as well as variety shows like “My Sibling’s Romance”and “Whenever Possible”.
