The new Netflix series is the first Korean drama to hit number one. It reached number one by its fourth day of availability and currently still holds the spot.

For context, Netflix’s top watched TV shows include The Witcher season one with 76 million, Lupin: Part 1 with 76 million, and Bridgerton season 1 with 82 million.
While those numbers represent the most popular shows based on the number of accounts that watched, the biggest series in terms of minutes watched are Stranger Things with 582 million minutes, Money Heist: Part 4 with 619 million minutes and Bridgerton season one with 625 million minutes.

The show’s writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk recently revealed whether he’d consider making a second season of the show. Find out what he said…
