Korean pop culture, in numbers

Netflix top 10 Korean drama

398 Korean TV series have reached a Netflix weekly top 10 somewhere between 2021-07-04 and 2026-08-16. Between them they took 30,796 chart places across 93 markets. The median series charted in 5 countrys; 117 charted in exactly one, and 2 charted in all 93.

This page counts series only. 578 Korean films have also charted and they are not here — a film and a series are not comparable on weeks, and mixing them makes both numbers misleading. All 976 Korean titles, films included →

The widest travellers — all 93 markets counted

Ordered by how many countries the series charted in. This is not a quality ranking.A series can reach many countries for one week, or one country for two years; both are here.

The longest runs — weeks on any chart

A different question from reach, and it gives a different list. Staying on one country's chart for two years is not the same achievement as appearing in ninety countries for one week, and we do not add the two together.

How many first charted each year

The year a series first appeared on any chart, not its release year — Netflix publishes no release date in these files, so we do not have one to give.

Where these numbers come from, and what they do not say

Charting is not the same as being available. A chart place proves the series was on Netflix in that country that week. The reverse does not follow: a country missing from a row may still have carried the series without it reaching a top ten. We hold chart lists, not catalogues, and we do not guess the difference.

There are no viewing figures here. The per-country files carry ranks, not hours or viewers. Nothing on this page measures how many people watched.

287 of the 398 series have a page of their own. The rest appear in fewer than six weekly rows, and a page built on two rows would say more than the data can support.
