SEOUL, Sept.22 (Yonhap) -- Netflix's new South Korean series "Narco-Saints" has risen to the top of the streamer's latest weekly viewership chart for non-English TV shows.
The undercover crime thriller marked 62.7 million hours of viewing for the week of Sept. 12-18 to lead the official top 10 list for non-English TV programs available on the service according to Netflix on Thursday.
This record is higher than English TV show "Fate: The Winx Saga" season 2, which placed second on the latest weekly viewership chart for English TV shows, marking 48.96 million hours of viewing.
It gained four notches from fifth place on the week of Sept.5-11, ending the seven-week-long reign by the smash-hit Korean Legal drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
"Woo" dropped to fourth place with a viewership of 22 million hours.
The six-part series about a businessman who takes undercover missions to capture a drug kingpin in a South American Country stars actors Ha Jng-woo, Hwang Jung-min, Park Hae-soo, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Jo Woo-jin.
The Korean soap opera "Young Lady and Gentleman" was viewed for 18.5 million hours over the cited period to rank fifth, while the mystery drama "Little Women" landed at No.9 on its second week of release with 13 million hours and fantasy drama "Alchemy of Souls" at 10th.
