Queen of Tears starring Kim Ji Won and Kim Soo Hyun in the lead roles has been confirmed to receive a Turkish remake.
Queen of Tears, starring popular South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun alongside Kim Ji Won, is undoubtedly one of the biggest K-drama releases of 2024. With record-breaking views and traction from the audience, the show is set to receive a Turkish adaptation, which will cater to a wider international market.
On October 22, 2024, the South Korean production company CJ Entertainment announced a collaboration with Turkish agency O3 Medya & DASS Yapim that together they will be making a Turkish version of Queen of Tears. The show was originally helmed by Studio Dragon and aired on the popular network tvN where it gained immense popularity during its initial release. Not just domestically, but it also garnered international acclaim and became one of the highest-viewed shows on Netflix.
O3 Medya and Dass Yapim, two leading Turkish production companies renowned for their top-tier dramas and strong influence in the local TV market, will collaborate to co-produce the Turkish remake of Queen of Tears. Eccho Rights will handle international distribution, broadening the global audience for this popular series. The deal was facilitated by HECE Medya.
However, this is not the first time that a K-drama has received a Turkish remake. Earlier this year deals were stuck for a Turkish adaptation of Doctor Cha, King The Land and now Queen of Tears has joined the list.
