No. 1 in Non-English TV Just Two Weeks After Release
Four Korean Titles, Including "Single’s Inferno 5," Make the Top 10

The romantic comedy "Is This Love Translatable?", starring Kim Seonho and Go Yoonjung, has captivated Netflix viewers worldwide, topping the global charts.

According to the official Netflix website "Netflix Top 10" on January 28, the series recorded 9 million views (calculated by dividing total viewing hours by runtime) from January 19 to 25 (the fourth week of January), ranking first in the Non-English TV category. After debuting at No. 2 in its first week of release, the show quickly rose to the top spot through word of mouth within just one week. It claimed the No. 1 position in 15 countries, including Korea, Bolivia, and Colombia, and entered the Top 10 list in 60 countries.

"Is This Love Translatable?", the first Korean Netflix series released in the new year, tells the unpredictable romance that unfolds when multilingual interpreter Ju Hojin (played by Kim Seonho) is assigned to interpret for the vibrant global top star Cha Muhee (played by Go Yoonjung). The series was highly anticipated even before its release, as it brought together the Hong sisters-writers behind numerous hit dramas such as "Alchemy of Souls," "Hotel Del Luna," and "The Greatest Love"-and director Yoo Yeongeun, acclaimed for her stylish direction in "Bloody Heart."

Meanwhile, this week's chart highlights the overall strength of Korean content. The dating reality show "Single's Inferno 5" ranked second, the fantasy romance "Starting Today, I'm Human" starring Kim Hyeyoon and Lomon ranked fifth, and "Undercover Miss Hong," featuring Park Shinhye and Go Kyungpyo, took the sixth spot.
