tvN’s Korean blockbuster, "Queen of Tears", swept viewer demand in Taiwan for the week of 3-9 May, attracting more than double the demand of closest competitor, "Paw Patrol", according to Parrot Analytics.

The romantic drama’s appeal in Taiwan echoes ratings elsewhere in the region. In Korea, the series’ final episode rating was 24.85%, surpassing "Crash Landing on You" to make it tvN’s highest-rated series ever. As of 12 May, the series about a married couple in crisis had been on Netflix global non-English TV top 10 for 10 weeks.

The top digital original – "Shogun" – attracted a fraction of demand for "Queen of Tears", but enough for it to earn a place on Parrot Analytics’ overall demand top 10.

"Queen of Tears" was also Taiwan’s top show on Netflix for the same period. 

Mainland Chinese drama, Hunan TV’s "The Legend of ShenLi", was the top Chinese show for the week.
