SEOUL, January 21 (AJP) - Netflix's new South Korean series has cracked the top 10 on the global streaming giant's chart this week.

According to Netflix's ranking website Tudum, "Can This Love Be Translated?" garnered 4 million in cumulative views, in less than a week after its release last Friday, securing the No. 2 spot among non-English shows, just behind crime thriller "Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web."

The romantic comedy starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung also ranked in the top 10 in some 36 countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

The 12-episode series follows the story of a celebrity and her interpreter whose emotions "get lost in translation as they travel the world filming a TV show."
