Queen of Divorce Ep 12 ends series on highest rating ever – congrats to cast and staff

The JTBC drama Queen of Divorce, Episode 12 aired last night to its highest ever rating. Ending the action comedy drama on a high note.

According to Nielsen Korea, Queen of Divorce, Episode 12 earned a 5.77 percent nationwide rating for its series finale.

That was quite an increase from its 2nd lowest rating (4.18 percent) the drama earned for Episode 11.

In Seoul, the Lee Ji Ah and Kang Ki Young-led drama performed even better, rising from its previous rating of 3.85 percent to last night’s highest ever rating of 5.93 percent.

An increase of more than 2.0 percent.

Those nice ratings for the K-drama’s finale also means it ended its 12-episode run with an overall nationwide average rating per episode of 5.01 percent, and a Seoul average of 4.98 percent.

Pretty decent averages for a drama that was a bit up and down in the ratings at times.
