The much-anticipated Netflix K-drama Melo Movie, starring Park Bo Young and Choi Woo Shik, has taken Korea by storm—topping the country’s Netflix charts for five consecutive days since its February 14 release! 🏆 However, despite its strong domestic performance, the drama has failed to make waves internationally, leaving fans wondering: What happened? 🤔

Unlike other Netflix originals that usually crack the global Top 10 within their first week, Melo Movie hasn’t managed to secure a spot. In contrast, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is sitting at #7 worldwide with 2.8 million views, and even Squid Game 2 remains in the rankings at #8. Meanwhile, Melo Movie failed to surpass even Brazil’s Sintonia Season 5, which took the final spot with 1.8 million views. 📉

So why isn’t Melo Movie getting international love? Some fans speculate that the slow-burn storytelling, similar themes to Our Beloved Summer, and lack of a fresh hook may have contributed to the lukewarm reception. Considering Park Bo Young’s previous success with Daily Dose of Sunshine and Choi Woo Shik’s global recognition, expectations were high—but it seems the drama didn’t resonate with international audiences as hoped.

Could Melo Movie still pick up momentum through word-of-mouth? Or will it remain a domestic favorite without global impact? Only time will tell! ⏳✨
