'Mercy for None' becomes Netflix's No. 1 non-English show less than two weeks after release

SEOUL, June 18 (AJP) - Netflix's latest South Korean series has topped the American streaming giant's chart for non-English-language shows, just less than two weeks after its release.

"Mercy for None," starring So Ji-sub and Lee Jun-hyuk, has racked up over 7.6 million views since its release on June 6, claiming the top spot for the week ending last Sunday.

The adaptation of a popular webtoon, compared by many to actor Keanu Reeves' "John Wick" franchise, revolves around a former gangster who returns to his old gang to uncover the truth behind his younger brother's mysterious death.

Also included in the top 10 are two rom-coms, "Tastefully Yours" at No. 3 and "Our Unwritten Seoul" at No. 6.
