'Weak Hero: Class 2' tops Netflix's non-English series chart

SEOUL, April 30 (Yonhap) -- "Weak Hero: Class 2," a drama focusing on school violence, topped Netflix's weekly non-English series chart, the streaming giant said Wednesday.

Starring Park Ji-hoon, Ryeoun and Choi Min-yeoung and based on the popular webtoon of the same name, the Korean action drama garnered 6.1 million views for the week ending Sunday.

Joining it in the top 10 were five other Korean TV series: "Heavenly Ever After" at No. 5, "Resident Playbook" at No. 6, "When Life Gives You Tangerines" at No. 7 and "The Haunted Palace" at No. 9.

The original "Weak Hero: Class 1," which first streamed on the local platform Wavve in November 2022 before Netflix picked up the sequel, also entered the chart at No. 8, likely boosted by the release and popularity of the second season.
