Damn, QoT's Seoul metro ratings for EP12 is only a hair strand close to CLOY's finale.

CLOY = 23.249
QoT = 23.242

Getting 9.2% for the final episode can be considered as a good achievement for MBC's Wonderful World especially when it shares the same screening time as QoT. A good start for MBC's first modern drama for 2024.

Ep 8 of NU increased in rating. Not surprising. I wonder if it can maintain this momentum in the second half of the drama.

A decent start for Lovely runner. Surprised Ep 2 took a dip.

I didn't quite enjoy ep 12 of QoT. Except for the last segment nothing much happened. It definitely is set up break some records.

I expected saturday's QoT ratings to reach 19% or if not maintain the rating from last sunday's episode, but I guess other dramas do have a small impact on QoT. Let's see the ratings for next week because this week was a bit slow with a major focus on the slush fund and Eun-boring with his obsession.

Amazing ratings for Queen of Tears!
I am enjoying every episode and can't seem to stop crying in alot of scenes this week.
The fast paced storytelling reminds me a bit of Perfect Marriage Revenge, which also include the beautiful Lee Mi Sook playing a mom role.
With four more episodes to go, it is poised to do better in ratings if the story continue to be engaging amd satisfying!

I'm gutted that 0.363% of viewers missed out on the cutest plot twist ever in the second episode of Lovely Runner. Hope next week's ratings pick up and run.

QoT is definately passing Sky Castle and Crash Landing on You.

I doubt it will get close to Reborn Rich or the Citizen Kane of Makjang "World of the Married", but being number 3 on the all time list is not too shabby.

I wonder if IU regrets passing on the role of female lead

QUEEN OF TEARS deserves the love.

Queen of Tears, love it! Also really enjoying Hide, keeps me on my toes guessing reasons for who does what.

No doubt that Queen of Tears will keep going up.

Sad to see the low numbers for the weekday slots. And dang, no Wed/Thurs local shows at all. Would love to see the ratings for Lovely Runner rise.

Judging from its ratings, Korean viewers can't find the missing crown prince.

I hope the last two episodes of Queen of tears stay in the 20’s I would love it to hit 25% but I know that is a big ask in this day and age and new dramas will be dropping.

Please, please, please can Lovely runner get 5% the low number for the Monday/Tuesday dramas is such a shame for the cast and crew and does not reflect their efforts.

Usually, rating misters plateau at a certain point and just pick up at the finale. But so far, QOT hasn’t had a week where Saturday ratings didn’t beat previous Saturday’s ratings. And sundays is when it goes for the stars lol. This drama is performing better than anyone imagined I’d say. In today’s world, with OTT being so prominent, and episodes all being available immediately - to see a rom com (and I do say that vaguely LOL) earn this sort of numbers is quite the feat. If it ended with 12 episodes, they’d have still broke 20%. Crazy. The team should be proud of themselves.

Very interested in this week’s ratings for Lovely Runner. It has quite the following in Korea. So many posts about it everywhere throughout last week. I think it has the potential to pick up from word of mouth. Tbh it’s been a while since I’ve followed Korean community sites, so I don’t know how the hype compares to Samdalri or Dr Slump etc. But I’m interested in how it translates (if it does) to ratings.

I would contend any day of the week that “Like Flowers in Sand” deserves so much more love from the Korean audience than it got. It was wonderful and a breath of fresh air. I have been watching QOT without much emotional investment and ffng liberally in parts which test my patience. As good as the acting of the majority are, the plot is largely ludicrous pap. I also don’t like to be made to feel sorry for the chaebol class. This drama humanises them and I rather keep my sympathies and tears for those who are not the parasitic and exploitative class.
