Korean drama climbs two more spots
The ongoing Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines has climbed even higher up the Netflix Top 10 Non-English TV Shows chart this week, after debuting at #4 on the chart three days after its first episode premiered.
This week — for the period 10th to 16th March, 2025 — When Life Gives You Tangerines sits nicely in the #2 spot. Yay, eh? (Because this one really is one of the best dramas to come out of South Korea in a while).
According to Netflix’s Tudum, it’s sitting just behind the Spanish series Medusa, which earned just 100,000 views more than the Korean drama in the same period.
The views earned by When Life Gives You Tangerines, by the way, were 6 million, and with 48.1 million hours watched so far.
It was also the #1 show in eight Asian countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam), and in the Top 10 in 41 countries — including Bolivia, Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Turkey, Jordan, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, the UAE, Egypt and Nigeria.
The release schedule for When Life Gives You Tangerines
The K-drama’s 16 episodes are being released in blocks of four episodes — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — as each four tell a new story about a different generation of the same family, while still following the previous generation.
The first four episodes premiered on March 7th, with the next four on March 14th, and the most recent four hitting Netflix earlier today.
The final four episodes are due out next Friday, March 28th.
The Korean drama stars IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon. Watch now on Netflix.
