“Love and Tears” becomes a ratings victim: ended with episode 7
The series Love and Tears, broadcast on ATV and adapted from the Korean hit Queen of Tears, ended after only seven episodes due to low viewership. Despite changes in the airing schedule and creative team, it failed to achieve success in ratings.
Early finale despite high expectations
Starring Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, the show was one of the most anticipated productions of the season. However, unlike its Korean original Queen of Tears, the Turkish adaptation did not resonate with viewers, leading to an early finale after disappointing performance.
Attempts to save the show failed
The producers tried several measures such as changing the broadcast day and replacing the writers and director, but these changes did not bring a significant boost in the ratings.
Episode 7 marks the end
The final episode aired on Friday night, marking the official end of Love and Tears. Despite its star-studded cast and high expectations, the series failed to stand out in Turkey’s competitive TV landscape.
“Love and Tears” concluded after just seven episodes, proving that even strong casts and big budgets cannot guarantee ratings success.
