tvN's Queen of Tears has reached nearly every milestone of a smashing global K-drama hitting number one in viewership rating every week! But we want to know how it compares to other top tvN dramas. Read on to find out!
Reaching a staggering 21.6% nationwide (Nielsen Korea) in its latest episode, Queen of Tears is definitely the drama to beat this year! With all of South Korea and the world tuned in to the final two episodes airing on April 27 and 28 respectively, let's find out what are the top tvN dramas of all time!
We will focus on the top 5 dramas first and give you the rest of the numbers from sixth to tenth place! Each viewership rating is the average of the total drama (all episodes).
5. Mister Sunshine (2018) 18.1%
This is no surprise to anyone. Anything Lee Byung Hun touches turns to gold! Throw in a very talented star Kim Tae Ri and you've got yourself a masterpiece! Premiering in 2018, Mister Sunshine was a sure hit before it was aired due to the star-studded cast anchored by the two leads. Mister Sunshine tells a story about a man returning to his homeland, Joseon, who abandoned him.
4. Reply 1988 (2015-2016) 18.8%
Reply 1988 is truly a work of pop culture art. Riding behind the success of the "Reply series" (1997 and 1994), this third installment started well and took off surpassing double-digit viewership (10.1%, Nielsen Korea) by the fifth episode. This coming-of-age drama with a star-studded cast, left no crumbs.
3. Goblin (2016) 20.5%
Goblin started the "uncle" (ahjussi) craze in South Korea and it's not hard to see why! If every middle-aged Korean man looked like Gong Yoo, every high school girl would fall in love! Just kidding! But seriously, this relationship was a little suspect at first. Goblin is also on tvN's top 10 most-watched dramas of all time. If you're new to Korean dramas, this is a must-watch!
