Listen Later
In today's episode Melanie, Vickey and Alisa are joined by Joanne Beveridge (@jmbeveridge on Twitter/X) to dive into exactly what has made Lovely Runner the biggest sleeper Kdrama hit of 2024. Some stats:

  • Lovely Runner topped Viki viewership ratings in over 130 regions including India, Australia, the United States, France, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Italy and Mexico

  • Korean streamer TVing exceeded Netflix's total usage time for the first time on the day the last episode of Lovely Runner aired. It’s the first time that a Korean streamer has surpassed Netflix’s total usage time. Supposedly TVing held an emergency meeting to analyze the numbers because they were so unexpected.

  • The song 소나기/Sudden Shower entered the Melon top 10 on May 13 and eventually reached number 5, which is a ranking that even legit Kpop groups struggle to achieve. It’s currently still in the Top 10.
