tvN showed the power of its "drama family" with "Queen of Tears.

tvN has proven its fame through "Queen of Tears. Not only has the series recorded its highest viewer rating for six consecutive weeks since it began airing, but it also recorded an average of 23.2% and a high of 25.2% for metropolitan households last week. In addition, during the week from the 8th, it recorded over 100 million views and achieved the No. 1 weekly video view count for tvN's all-time drama series, as well as the cumulative video view count of over 1 billion, exhaling the spirit of the show.

In particular, the Good Data Corporation's Phandex report for the second week of April showed that following "Queen of Tears," which ranked first for six consecutive weeks, tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Run with Sonje on Your Back," which began airing last week, ranked second in its first week, giving tvN an astounding 75% share of drama viewership. The drama also recorded an impressive 75% share of the total number of TV and OTT dramas combined. In addition, the total of TV and OTT dramas achieved a 64% share of the top 10 in the "Drama Buzz Index," with 8 of tvN's cast members ranked in the top 10, once again impressing viewers with the brand competitiveness of tvN, which is known as a "drama household name. This is an evaluation of tvN's brand competitiveness.

Not only that, tvN's "Queen of Tears" averaged 20.7% and reached a high of 22.6% last week on a national household basis, ranking second in tvN's all-time drama viewership ratings after "Love's Emergency Landing. Considering the characteristic of dramas that viewership ratings usually increase in the final episodes, further increase is expected. Since "Love's Emergency Landing" was written by Park Jee-woong, who achieved the No. 1 rating for "Love's Emergency Landing," all eyes will be on whether he can surpass his own work and once again grab the No. 1 spot in tvN's all-time drama viewer ratings.

A tvN representative said, "I just want to thank the viewers who love tvN's dramas. We will continue to present works that have the unique identity of tvN, regardless of whether they are created by star creators or newcomers, so that we can continue to build on our brand reputation as "tvN you can trust.
