AKP STAFF

'Marry My Husband', the latest production from Studio Dragon, has not only captivated domestic audiences but also made waves internationally, etching its name in the annals of K-drama history.

Following the global success of 'The Glory' last year, Studio Dragon has reaffirmed its status as a powerhouse in the K-drama realm with the triumphant reception of 'Marry My Husband'. The drama, which aired on tvN and TVING domestically and streamed on Amazon Prime Video overseas, concluded on February 20 KST, leaving an indelible mark on the global television landscape.

Breaking barriers, 'Marry My Husband' became the first K-drama to clinch the top spot in the global daily TV show rankings on Amazon Prime Video since the platform's inception in 2016. In January, it soared to the second-highest position, setting a new record not only in daily rankings but also in monthly rankings, a testament to its enduring appeal. Viewers worldwide were swept up in the 'Marry My Husband craze', drawn to the drama's riveting storyline of reincarnation and revenge over its two-month run.

The drama's popularity transcended borders, captivating audiences not only in Asia but also across Western countries. Achieving first place in daily rankings in a staggering 67 countries during its broadcast period, including Japan, Australia, and Taiwan, 'Marry My Husband' made history by claiming top spots in the US, Canada, England, and other European nations. Additionally, it secured spots in the Amazon Prime Video TOP 10 in various American and European countries, solidifying its global reach.

Experts attribute the drama's global appeal to its thrilling narrative of redemption and revenge. Renowned publications such as Forbes and NME hailed 'Marry My Husband' as a prime example of the resurgence of Korean dramas centered around themes of second chances and alternate realities.

Lead actress Park Min Young expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support from viewers worldwide, vowing to continue delivering compelling performances in future projects. To celebrate the drama's success, the production team and cast are planning a well-deserved reward vacation to Vietnam in early March, a gesture of appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
