K-Drama guilty pleasures that are surprisingly successful globally

Dramas that ranked 1st and 2nd on Netflix globally 

1. Business Proposal

2. King the Land

When the Phone Rings

Business Proposal is high quality compared to others of that genre, while the other two are insanely guilty pleasures.

It means a drama that you watch secretly, but turns out to be a huge hit.

'If a dead body shows up, then call me.'

'Don't let your emotions get involved between us.'

'Do you want to take it off yourself, or shall I do it for you?'

'Tell me. How can I hate you? How can I stop loving you?'

-One of the most popular Korean dramas overseas is Boys Over Flowersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Dramas that resonate with real-life situations are surprisingly less popular.

Kim Sejeong: The spring in my early 20s was IOI and Gugudan, while the one in my late 20s was Business Proposal

 Q: What impression did Business Proposal leave on Kim Sejeong?

A: I think it will remind me of youth. I'm at a pretty age right now. At this pretty age, I recorded this beautiful moment. It even had a beautiful ending. Once I turn 30 or 40, no matter how much I age, I will look back to my late 20s and the first thing I will think about is 'Business Proposal'. It's the work in my late 20s that opened a lot more chances for me. The spring in my early 20s was filled with IOI and Gugudan, while the spring in my late 20s was filled with 'Business Proposal'.

Thank you for being Shin Hari!

-It's crazy how they're able to rank in the Top 10 despite not having any big promotions or anyting. It's a really good drama.

-I watch Business Proposal and it's very fascinating to know that Americans love it as wellㅋㅋㅋ When it first started, I don't think anyone had such big expectations of it...

-I personally enjoy this drama a lot, but don't you think it's not exactly something that Americans would watch? This is really fascinatingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm so proud and I don't even watch that dramaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-For your information, this drama is not Netflix Originals, so they release their episodes every week instead of releasing them once at a time. And now you're telling me Americans wait every week to watch new episodes of it?? I'm really proud to hear that...

-Once you fall for Korean rom-com dramas, there's no way outㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This drama is really good that I can't watch it all at onceㅋㅋㅋㅋ How many episodes are there, though?? It's such a pity that it's coming to an end...

  -Surprisingly, it will only have 12 episodes...ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ We're going to have the last episodes next week...

-So if something trends in Korea, it will basically trend anywhere in this world tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I love it because I can watch it without having to stress about anything. Besides, it makes me happy.
