Queen of Tears overtakes one of tvN’s classic K-dramas

Queen of Tears is currently at the top of the charts in both South Korea and on Netflix. This K-drama has made history by surpassing a beloved K-drama.

Netflix’s 2024 lineup of K-dramas features Queen of Tears, a fan-favorite that has captured audiences with its compelling storyline and blend of romantic comedy and emotional intensity. Originally released in March, it has consistently ranked in the top 10 of Netflix’s non-English shows.

Despite facing tough competition, Queen of Tears is on course to become one of the top contenders this year. In recognition of its success, the K-drama has been bestowed with a remarkable accolade. As reported by Soompi, it has now been crowned the second highest-rated K-drama in tvN’s history, a title previously held by Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God).

According to a report by Soompi, Nielsen Korea has recorded that the most recent episode of Queen of Tears has surpassed its previous rating of 20.7%, making it the second highest-rated drama in tvN’s history. This achievement of reaching the 20% rating mark is a rare feat for K-dramas on the network.

Despite its status as a global phenomenon and classic among fans, Goblin has been officially surpassed by Queen of Tears. However, the question still remains: which K-drama takes the top spot above both of them?

It is not surprising that Crash Landing on You has maintained its dominance, having achieved a 21.7% rating since its final episode in 2020. Every K-drama enthusiast is familiar with the show, which features real-life married couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin.

Thanks to Netflix, Queen of Tears has the potential to become the next K-drama classic just like Crash Landing on You, which gained worldwide recognition after Netflix acquired its streaming rights and made it available to fans around the globe.
