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.

A different work carries this same name. Netflix publishes two separate charts — one for films, one for series — and this name appears on both. 18 chart places across 4 countries on the series chart belongs to that other work and is not counted anywhere on this page. We kept the film chart because Wikidata records this name as a film. If that identification is wrong, every number here is the wrong work's — so we are telling you what we excluded and why, rather than quietly adding the two together.

Red Eye — 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, 124 reached more markets than Red Eye and 420 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.

Beside the median charting Korean title

Red EyeMedian Korean title that charted
Markets reached302
Weeks on a chart somewhere64
Chart places held365

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 This is a comparison, not a ranking — we do not publish a league of titles, and a title well above the median is a title that travelled, not a title that is better.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 30 markets in all. The most that held it in the same week was 26 — the week of 2024-03-31.

Those two figures are different achievements. Reaching 30 markets over 6 weeks and holding 26 of them in one week are not the same event, and a single "markets" column cannot tell them apart. Netflix publishes neither figure; both are counted here from the weekly country lists.

How it left. Counting each country separately, it ended 31 runs on a chart. The middle one ended from position 6, and 10 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.

⚠ 2021 and 2026 are part years — Netflix's weekly country lists start 2021-07-04 and our copy ends 2026-08-23, so those two rows cover fewer weeks than the others and cannot be compared with them.

Where to walk from here

Other Korean titles on this site that share a named person or a credited company with Red Eye. 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 Red Eye, but what happened around it.

Red Eye cast

1 name 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.

Jang Shin-young

1 of these 1 name has a page of its 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 Red Eye 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 Red Eye sits.

Weeks on any chart6longer than 642 of 974 titles
Best position reached3higher than 426 of 974 titles

“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. Read a rank next to the reach, not on its own. The full distribution, and what it can and cannot say.

What to watch after Red Eye

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 Red Eye — the list you saw it on. That is a fact about a published chart, and it is the whole of what we are claiming.

Red Eye shared a country’s weekly top 10 with 15 other Korean titles across 42 country-weeks in total. The table shows the 12 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.
