'Rom-Com King' Ahn Hyo-seop Does It Again: 'Sold Out on You' Hits No. 1 on Netflix Global Non-English TV Chart in Premiere Week

The SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "Sold Out on You" has claimed the No. 1 spot on the Netflix non-English TV chart.

According to Netflix’s official Tudum website on the 29th, "Sold Out on You" recorded 4.7 million views (total hours viewed divided by the total runtime of the work) from the 20th to the 26th, landing at No. 1 on the Global Top 10 non-English TV list. By country, it reached the Top 10 in a total of 42 nations, including hitting No. 1 in Taiwan, Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, Venezuela, Bolivia, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

"Sold Out on You" is a romance drama depicting the story of a perfectionist farmer, Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo-seop), and a sell-out-obsessed show host, Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-bin). Although only two episodes have been released since its premiere on the 22nd, it immediately climbed to No. 1 on the Netflix global non-English TV chart in its first week, proving the intense global interest in the series.

A key factor in the popularity of "Sold Out on You" is the appearance of Ahn Hyo-seop. After capturing hearts globally with the success of the SBS romantic comedy "Business Proposal," he stood at the center of a worldwide sensation once again last year as Jinu in the Netflix film "KPop Demon Hunters." Consequently, attention was focused on his next project, and the romantic comedy "Sold Out on You," in which he stars, is receiving an enthusiastic response immediately upon its release.

Meanwhile, the third episode of "Sold Out on You" will air on SBS on the 29th at 9 p.m.
