tvN's first-half 2024 dramas shine; eyes turn to second-half lineup

AKP STAFF

tvN's lineup of dramas in the first half of 2024, including 'Marry My Husband', 'Lovely Runner', and the record-breaking 'Queen of Tears', has captivated audiences with their compelling stories and performances. 

The finale of 'Lovely Runner' aired on May 28 KST, concluding with the demise of antagonist Kim Young Soo (portrayed by Heo Hyun Gyu) and a heartwarming wedding scene featuring the lead characters Lim Sol (played by Kim Hye Yoon) and Ryu Seon Jae (played by Byun Woo Seok). 

Byun Woo Seok's meteoric rise to fame through 'Lovely Runner' earned him the top spot in both drama and non-drama categories of the TV-OTT performer popularity survey by Good Data Corporation, marking a historic achievement for the actor. 

Meanwhile, 'Queen of Tears', starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, concluded as tvN's highest-rated drama ever, reaching a peak viewership rating of 24.9% in its final episode. 

'Marry My Husband', featuring Park Min Young and Na In Woo, debuted on tvN in 2024, garnering praise for its poignant storyline about second chances and overcoming adversity. 

Looking ahead, tvN's lineup includes 'Player 2: Master of Swindlers', starring Song Seung Hun and Oh Yeon Seo, 'The Auditors' with Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha, 'No Loss In Love' featuring Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae, and 'Parole Examiner Lee Han Shin' (tentative title) starring Go Soo and Kwon Yuri.

With the success of its first-half dramas, tvN aims to maintain its momentum and captivate audiences in the second half of the year.

Well thanks for the spoiler on Lovely Runner. 🙄 Not everyone has watched it yet and AllKpop just spoiled it.
