As per tradition, Sunday evenings mark the golden hour for the ratings of the beloved series “Queen of Tears,” often heralding the establishment of new records. True to form, Episode 12, aired on Sunday, April 14th, proved to be a pinnacle moment, securing the highest viewership rating yet in its broadcast journey.
According to Nielsen Korea’s data, Episode 12 of “Queen of Tears” witnessed a substantial surge, reaching an impressive 20.73% rating, compared to the 16.7% of Episode 11. Not only did it shatter its own record by surpassing the 20% milestone for the first time, but this figure also solidified “Queen of Tears” as the reigning monarch atop the viewership charts of all currently airing Korean dramas.
Currently, “Queen of Tears” has officially surpassed the blockbuster “Goblin,” claiming the second position on tvN’s rating chart. Regrettably, it falls just 1% short of dethroning “Crash Landing on You,” which holds the crown with a rating of 21.7%. With this steady growth trajectory, it’s likely that by Episode 14, “Queen of Tears” will ascend to the pinnacle of tvN’s historical ratings.

Compared to previous episodes, Episode 12 of “Queen of Tears” shed fewer tears, focusing primarily on the battle for control over the Hong family conglomerate between Hyun Woo (Kim Soo Hyun) and Eun Sung (Park Sung Hoon). They engage in a direct confrontation, ultimately leading Chairman Hong to sacrifice his own life to end the power struggle and expel Seul Hee from the household. The Hong family swiftly regains control of their estate, while Hyun Woo discovers a way to unlock the door to a secret room, potentially housing Chairman Hong’s 900 billion, enough to reclaim the Queens conglomerate.
Moreover, amidst the turmoil, the tender moments between the main couple, Hae In and Hyun Woo, captivated social media despite their limited screen time. Particularly, the scene of them falling asleep in each other’s arms on the sofa after a tumultuous day stirred immense excitement among viewers. Audiences eagerly anticipate seeing them embark on a simple yet blissful life together, akin to many other young couples, rather than enduring the strife, competition, and confrontation with death depicted throughout the past 12 episodes.
