The Korean drama ‘Hell’ topped the Netflix worldwide series.
‘Hell’, which was released on the 19th and ranked first in one day, regained the number one spot on the 22nd and is realizing its global popularity.
According to ‘Flix Patrol’, an online content service ranking aggregation site, ‘Hell’ topped the world’s top (TOP) Netflix TV programs as of the 23rd to 24th the day before.
‘Hell’ tells the story of ordinary people who are sentenced to hell by an unknown being. For those who have been sentenced to hell, a supernatural phenomenon occurs in which a messenger from hell arrives at the scheduled time and takes their lives.
Director Yeon Sang-ho, well known for his films ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘Peninsula’, also portrayed a dystopia that maximized the negative aspects of modern society in this work.
After ‘Squid Game’, which was very popular around the world, ‘Hell’ took the top spot on Netflix, and foreign media paid attention one after another.
CNN reported on the 23rd (local time), “This year’s Korean dramas are amazing,” and “‘Hell’ is a new squid game.”
CNN, who introduced ‘Hell’ as a dark fantasy genre drama, continued, “The Netflix Korean drama Hell is capturing the hearts of viewers.”
Meanwhile, claims have been raised that Netflix is using Korean content as an illegal download or bypass access method in China, where Netflix is not officially serviced.
It is said that content titled ‘Hell Corporation’ (地獄公使) was illegally distributed along with Chinese subtitles on Chinese SNS ‘Weibo’ and ‘Weixin’, and it is collecting topics.
