Breakout hit 'True Education' ultimately reaches global No. 1... Takes over Netflix in 45 countries [Official]

[OSEN = Reporter Yeon Hwi-seon] 'True Education' has ranked No. 1 on Netflix globally.

According to FlixPatrol, a global OTT ranking aggregation site, as of the 12th (local time), the Netflix original series 'True Education' ranked No. 1 among global TV shows.

According to this, 'True Education' took the No. 1 spot in Netflix's Today's Top 10 series in 45 countries around the world, from Asian countries such as Korea, India, Japan, and Bangladesh to South America including Brazil, and even the Middle East including Qatar, Lebanon, and Tu"rkiye. Driven by this, it rose to No. 1 in Netflix's global TV show rankings with a total score of 795 points.

'True Education' is a drama about the thrilling and refreshing true education efforts of the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau, an organization established to protect teachers' rights and defend Korea's collapsing school authority and educational environment caused by students, teachers, and parents who cross the line. All 10 episodes were released on the 5th, drawing intense attention.

Originally, the drama raised concerns as it was adapted from the webtoon of the same name. The original webtoon had been criticized for racism, misogyny, excessive violence, and more, and was even discontinued overseas. In Korea, one teachers' group even held a protest against its production, and during that process, actor Kim Nam-gil was first mentioned as the lead, but he ultimately declined.

However, after the lead role was changed to actor Kim Moo-yeol, 'True Education' was completed and released, and is being praised for successfully adapting the drama by removing uncomfortable elements from the original. As a result, it has been receiving a strong response not only domestically but also overseas, drawing attention to how well the work will perform.
