Five Korean Dramas Rank in the Top 10
of Non-English TV Shows on Netflix
Korean dramas have gained worldwide popularity, securing top spots in Netflix viewership rankings. According to Netflix on June 4, five Korean dramas ranked in the top 10 of the non-English TV show category based on viewership figures collected from May 26 to June 1. Viewership is calculated by dividing total viewing hours by the total running time. Netflix introduced this metric to more accurately gauge the popularity of movies, mini-series, and other content with relatively short running times.
The most popular Korean drama was 'Your Taste', starring Kang Haneul and Go Minshi, which ranked second with 4 million views. 'Unknown Seoul', starring Park Boyoung, took third place with 2.8 million views. 'Tangeum', starring Lee Jaewook and Jo Boah, landed in fifth place with 1.5 million views. 'More Beautiful Than Heaven', starring Kim Hyeja and Son Sukku, came in ninth with 1.1 million views, while 'Labor Attorney Noh Mujin', starring Jung Kyungho and Seol Inah, rounded out the top ten with 900,000 views.
The Danish mystery 'The Secrets We Keep' led the same category with 5.1 million views. In the non-English film category, the Spanish thriller 'Widow Game' took first place with 15.4 million views. In the English-language film category, the horror film 'Fear Street: From Queen' ranked first with 8.5 million views, and in the English-language TV show category, the comedy 'When the Siren Sings' topped the chart with 18.2 million views.
