The romantic comedy "Our Sticky Love," starring actors Jung Haein and Ha-young, reached the top of Netflix's non-English shows two weeks after its release.
According to Netflix's official site Tudum on the 19th, "Our Sticky Love" recorded 7.5 million views (Views, the total watch time divided by the title's runtime) from the 10th to the 16th, ranking No. 1 in the non-English shows category.
Released simultaneously worldwide on the 7th, the title debuted at No. 5 among non-English shows in its first week and climbed four spots in a week.
By country, it ranked No. 1 in 26 nations, including Korea, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Indonesia. In 68 countries worldwide, it placed in the top 10.
"Our Sticky Love" is a romantic comedy about a prosecutor with amnesia and a former gangster-turned-boxing coach who claims to be the prosecutor's boyfriend, living together in the countryside. Jung Haein and Ha-young star.
However, after lead actor Ha-young said on a broadcast that her family has been a "doctor family for four generations," controversy arose over her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities. The controversy continued, with actors' interview schedules being canceled.
Other Korean titles also ranked high. The romantic comedy "Spooky in Love," starring Park Eunbin and Yang Sejong, ranked No. 3 among non-English shows with 2.7 million views, while the action series "Manager Kim," starring So Jisub, ranked No. 9 with 1.4 million views.
