Three Korean dramas rank in Netflix’s global TV top 10

Three Korean dramas made Netflix’s global TV top 10 as of October 14.

“Take Charge of My Heart” ranked third, “Doctor X: Mafia in White” fifth and “100 Days of Deception” eighth.

“Take Charge of My Heart” drew about 32 million viewing hours in its debut week.

The series is a romantic comedy with fantasy elements about a screenwriter who can produce electricity after being struck by lightning as a child.

Netflix’s hit “Squid Game” helped bring South Korean television to a much wider global audience after its 2021 debut.

Korean dramas have become a major strength for Netflix as the service continues to add new series and older favorites.

The figures show that Korean shows are finding viewers beyond the audience for “Squid Game,” though none is described as matching its scale.
