SEOUL, Oct. 2 (Korea Bizwire) — Two Korean titles topped Netflix’s weekly viewing charts, the global streaming company said Wednesday.
“Officer Black Belt,” a crime action film starring Kim Woo-bin, secured the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s non-English movies chart for the week of Sept. 23-29.
The film follows the story of Lee Jung-do, an ordinary young man who becomes a temporary martial arts officer, tasked with monitoring parolees alongside probation officers. Released on Sept. 13, the film has amassed 5.1 million views.
Meanwhile, three Korean shows dominated the top five on the non-English TV list.
The culinary competition show “Culinary Class Wars” held the top spot for the second consecutive week, drawing 4.9 million views. The show pits 100 cooks, divided into two teams — Black Spoon and White Spoon — against each other in intense culinary battles.
Netflix’s Korean original series “Gyeongseong Creature” Season 2 ranked No. 2 with 3.1 million views, while the romantic series “Love Next Door” claimed the No. 3 spot with 2.7 million views.
