For the second consecutive week, tvN’s Queen of Tears has clinched the top spot, witnessing a significant surge in popularity.

Viewers are now keenly watching to see if the show will surpass Crash Landing on You. Maintaining its position at second place is TVING’s Pyramid Game, steadily drawing in viewers. Jang Da A, known for being the sister of IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, has been highlighted as a standout performer, reaping the benefits of the drama’s success.
