Markets are in alphabetical order, not in order of size. A market name is a link only where that country has a page of its own; the rest are plain text rather than a link that goes nowhere.

What a place is. A place is one appearance in one country's weekly top 10. A title that sat at number 4 in Vietnam for three weeks holds three places there. Reach counts the countries a title appeared in at least once, out of 93.

Charted here is not the same as available here. A chart place does show the title was on Netflix in that country that week — that much follows. The reverse does not: a country missing from this list may still have carried the title without it reaching a top 10. We hold chart lists, not catalogue listings, and we do not guess the difference.

My Name Is Loh Kiwan — hit or flop?

We will not say, and neither can the chart. Netflix's country lists record that a title held a top-ten place in a country in a week. They do not record how many people watched it, what it cost, or what anyone expected of it — and those are the three things the words hit and flop are actually about.

What we can tell you is where it sits. Of the 546 Korean titles with a page here, 120 reached more markets than My Name Is Loh Kiwan and 422 reached fewer. It travelled further than the typical Korean title that charted at all, which reached 2.

That is a position, not a verdict. A title can hold a hundred chart places in small markets and a title can hold four in the largest ones; the file does not say which of those a person means by success. You have the shape — the judgement is yours.

The median is taken across all 974 Korean titles that reached any country top 10, most of which charted in one or two markets. This is a comparison, not a ranking — we do not publish a league of titles, and a title well above the median is a title that travelled, not a title that is better.

All at once, or one country at a time

It reached 31 markets in all. The most that held it in the same week was 31 — the week of 2024-03-10.

Every market it ever reached held it at the same time, which is what a simultaneous opening looks like in this data.

How it left. Counting each country separately, it ended 31 runs on a chart. The middle one ended from position 6, and 12 of 31 ended from positions 8 to 10. Across all Korean titles that figure is 56.8%, and it would be 30% if leaving had nothing to do with position — how a title leaves has the whole table.

Where to walk from here

Other Korean titles on this site that share a named person or a credited company with My Name Is Loh Kiwan. The reason is given beside each one, because a shared name is the only claim being made — not that the two are alike.

Put this title in context

The same weekly files, cut five other ways. Each of these answers a question this page cannot: not what happened to My Name Is Loh Kiwan, but what happened around it.

My Name Is Loh Kiwan production companies

CompanyCredited as

From Wikidata, listed alphabetically. Company names link through to a sheet where we hold one; we publish a sheet only for companies whose catalogue we can see completely, so most names here are text. A credit is not a share of the work — it records that a company is attached, not how much of the budget or the decision it held. Companies inside one corporate group are listed separately because we did not confirm the ownership tree. The credit type is given in English with the original Korean label in brackets, because that label is what the filing says and translating it away would hide the source.

My Name Is Loh Kiwan cast

7 names recorded as Korean, alphabetically. Wikidata cast lists are incomplete and skew toward better-known names, so this is not a full cast list and a short one does not mean a small production.

Cho Han-cheul · Choi Sung-eun · Kim Sung-ryung · Lee Il-hwa · Lee Sang-hee · Seo Hyun-woo · Song Joong-ki

7 of these 7 names have pages of their own here, showing every other charting title they appear in and how far each one travelled. The rest do not, because we hold fewer than two charting titles for them.

Was My Name Is Loh Kiwan a hit or a flop?

We are not going to rule on that, and neither can anyone else working from this data. Netflix publishes no budget, no revenue and no viewing hours by country, so a chart position cannot be turned into a verdict. Several Korean titles opened in cinemas first, and that run is not in this data at all.

What we can give you is the thing the word “flop” is really reaching for: somewhere to stand. Of the 974 Korean titles that entered any country’s Netflix weekly top 10 between 2021-07-04 and 2026-08-23, here is where My Name Is Loh Kiwan sits.

“Number one on Netflix” is not the rare part. 304 of 974 titles — 31% — have been number one in some country in some week, and 65 of those 304 were number one in the only country that ever charted them.

What to watch after My Name Is Loh Kiwan

We are not recommending anything. We have no idea what you like, and Netflix publishes nothing about who watched what. What we can tell you is which other Korean titles were on the same country’s top 10, in the same week as My Name Is Loh Kiwan — the list you saw it on. That is a fact about a published chart, and it is the whole of what we are claiming.

My Name Is Loh Kiwan shared a country’s weekly top 10 with 22 other Korean titles across 143 country-weeks in total. The table shows the 9 it sat beside most often, and only those with a page here.

A big number here mostly means the title lasted. A show that held a country’s top 10 for a year sits beside almost everything; a show that charted for one week in one country can sit beside at most nine other titles ever. It does not mean the same people watched both, and it does not mean the two are similar. How we counted this, across every title.
