K-dramas that become international obsession despite flopping in Korea

Moon Gang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun), a compassionate community health worker at a psychiatric ward, seems to possess everything one could wish for: great physique, handsome face, intelligence, empathy, quick reflexes, and unwavering patience. In stark contrast, Go Moon Young (Seo Yea Ji), a celebrated children’s book author, exudes an air of selfishness, arrogance, and rudeness due to her antisocial personality disorder. Moon Gang Tae has sworn off love, while Go Moon Young remains oblivious to its existence. Watch as fate rolls its eyes and these two mismatched souls stumble into a love story that might just redefine ‘happily ever after’. This drama recorded an average viewership of 5.425%, according to Nielsen Korea, but upon its release on Netflix, it earned much global acclaim.
