Studio Dragon has successfully recorded four consecutive hits this year with tvN’s 'The Unseen Seoul', 'The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl', the Japanese version of 'Marry My Husband', and 'The Tyrant's Chef', once again proving its production competitiveness.
Every year, Studio Dragon releases major hit dramas, including 'Crash Landing on You' (2019-2020), 'Vincenzo' (2021), 'Marry My Husband' (2024), 'Queen of Tears' (2024), Netflix's 'Sweet Home' Seasons 1-3 (2020-2024), and 'The Glory' (2022-2023), establishing itself as a producer of global mega hits. In particular, the recently concluded 'The Tyrant's Chef', starring Im Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min, has achieved overwhelming success both domestically and internationally, being labeled as one of the year's top K-dramas.
The 12th episode ended with a rating of 17.1% among nationwide paid households, according to Nielsen Korea, and it held the number one spot in Netflix TV Shows (non-English) for two consecutive weeks. It also ranked number one in the Good Data Corporation’s TV-OTT drama buzz ranking for six weeks in a row.
The performance of the Japanese version of 'Marry My Husband' is also noteworthy. This series was released globally through Amazon Prime Video in June and recorded the highest viewer numbers in history in Japan for a month.
'The Unseen Seoul' and 'The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl' also demonstrated significant achievements in the global market. 'The Unseen Seoul', featuring Park Bo-young, reached third place in Netflix global TV shows (non-English) shortly after its release and consistently remained in the Top 10 for six weeks, capturing attention. 'The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl' attained second place in Amazon Prime Video TV shows globally and entered the Top 10 in 43 countries.
Meanwhile, Studio Dragon is expected to continue its success with various productions in the fourth quarter. Netflix’s 'Anything Will Happen’ will premiere on the 3rd, while 'Typhoon Office' will be available from the 11th on tvN, Tving, and Netflix. Other productions, such as Disney+'s 'City of Sculptures', Tving's 'Dear X', Netflix's 'Master of Confessions', and tvN's 'Pro Bono', are also scheduled for release within the year.
