Non-Korean programmes received only a teeny bit of love in Korea’s demand stakes for the week of 17-23 May, according to Parrot Analytics. 

Amazon Prime Video’s U.S. adult animated comedy series, "Hazbin Hotel", was one of two non-Korean titles on the week’s list, coming in at 19.8x difference from demand for the average digital programme in the market for the week.

The U.S. version of "Saturday Night Live" did even better, at 22.6x, giving it eighth place on the overall list.

The week’s winner was tvN record-breaking romcom, "Queen of Tears", which reached a nationwide rating of 24.85% for its final episode on 28 April. The KRW56-billion/US$49 million Studio Dragon drama streamed on local platform Tving as well as on Netflix in some regions. "Queen of Tears" is the third most popular Korean drama ever after "The World of the Married" and "Reborn Rich". 

"Hazbin Hotel" tied with Netflix’s "A Killer Paradox", which was second by a few percentage points to "Parasyte: The Grey", also on Netflix.
