SEOUL, March 27 (AJP) - Two South Korean shows have topped Netflix's latest charts for non-English series.

According to the U.S. streaming giant, "When Life Gives You Tangerines" starring singer and actress IU and heartthrob Park Bo-gum took the top spot for TV shows, while director Yeon Sang-ho's thriller "Revelations" ranked atop the film charts, amassing 5.7 million and 5.5 million viewing hours, respectively for the week ending last Friday.

Shortly after its release on Netflix early this month, the 16-episode drama, which traces the long-spanning life of a family from the 1950s, became a hit with its heartwarming story that evokes nostalgia among viewers. It is now gaining even more attention as its final episodes become available later this week.

Meanwhile, Yeon's latest thriller, which revolves around a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs to confront their demons, debuted at No. 1, securing a spot in the top 10 in some 39 countries including Argentina, Greece, Indonesia, Japan, Portugal, and Spain.
