“Queen of Tears” has finally claimed its throne, achieving its highest Saturday ratings yet and surpassing “Beauty and Mr. Romantic.” The romantic comedy, starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, has captured the hearts of K-drama lovers worldwide.
The 11th episode of “Queen of Tears” aired yesterday, recording a nationwide rating of 16.8 percent. This is the highest rating the show has achieved since its premiere, particularly on a Saturday. The drama’s success is largely attributed to the undeniable chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won.
“Queen of Tears” follows the story of a married couple, Hong Hae In (played by Kim Ji Won) and Baek Hyun Woo (played by Kim Soo Hyun), who have lost the initial charm and love in their relationship. Amidst drastic changes in their life, they find themselves drawn to each other once again. However, their love story is not without its challenges, as they navigate family problems, usurpation, and deadly diseases.
In the race of K-drama viewership, “Queen of Tears” successfully beat “Beauty and Mr. Romantic,” which stars Ji Hyun Woo and Im Soo Hyang, and achieved a 14.4 percent nationwide viewership rating.
Meanwhile, “Wonderful World,” starring Cha Eun Woo and Kim Nam Joo, recorded a nationwide rating of 9.2 percent for its finale. Other dramas like “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection” and “Hide” starring Lee Bo Young, however, struggled to achieve high ratings.
As “Queen of Tears” inches closer to its finale, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the chemistry between the lead characters will deepen. With its unique blend of romance and comedy, the drama continues to reign supreme in the hearts of viewers, proving that love truly conquers all.
