‘Dynamite Kiss’ Tops Netflix’s Global Non-English Series Chart

SBS Wed–Thu rom-com “Dynamite Kiss” (키스는 괜히 해서!) has ranked No.1 globally on Netflix’s

Non-English TV chart for two consecutive weeks, after gradually climbing from 3rd to 1st place.

The show is also recording its own career-high TV ratings in Korea, confirming both domestic and

overseas traction.

♦ Key Case overview

• According to Netflix’s official Top 10 (Tudum), “Dynamite Kiss” recorded 4.8 million views from 1–7 December and

kept the No.1 spot in the Non-English TV category for the second week in a row.

• The series started at 3rd place in its first week, rose to 2nd in week two, then 1st in week three and four,

showing steady word-of-mouth growth rather than a oneweek spike.

♦ Content / Business point

• Story: a single woman Go Da-rim (Ahn Eun-jin) who fakes being a working mom for a job, and her boss

Gong Ji-hyuk (Jang Ki-yong) who falls for her—classic “office rom-com” with fast pacing (the leads kiss

already in episode 1) and deliberate rom-com clichés

• The drama ranked No.1 among Non-English shows in 43 countries, including Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,

Colombia and Korea, underlining strong reception in Latin America and Asia.

♦ Global / Buyer angle

• The show’s performance, alongside other Korean non-English hits in Netflix’s Top 10, reinforces K-rom-com

as a stable export genre, not just a one-off trend.
