'Agent Kim Reactivated' Reclaims Netflix Global Non-English No. 1

The South Korean action drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated' has once again risen to the top of Netflix's global non-English TV ranking, underscoring the enduring appetite for Korean storytelling on the streaming platform. Led by veteran actor So Ji-sub, the SBS series reclaimed the No. 1 position after previously reaching the summit in an earlier week.

According to Netflix's Tudum viewership data covering July 6 to 12, the show finished first among non-English titles and also led the platform's overall television ranking, drawing 9.1 million views. That figure is calculated by dividing total viewing hours by the length of the series.

The drama's momentum has stretched across continents. It ranked No. 1 in 22 countries and regions, including South Korea, Bolivia, Peru, Morocco, Oman and the Philippines. In total, it entered the top 10 in 72 countries and regions, with strong showings in markets such as Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden.

Adapted from a webtoon of the same name, 'Agent Kim Reactivated' follows an ordinary father who risks everything to rescue his kidnapped daughter, unleashing lethal skills he had kept hidden for years. The premise marks a fresh turn for So Ji-sub, who plays the parent of a high school-aged daughter for the first time in his career.

The repeat chart-topping run reflects a broader pattern in which Korean series continue to command global audiences long after their release. Holding the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks signals sustained word-of-mouth rather than a single burst of curiosity.

Elsewhere on the same chart, the series 'Teach You a Lesson' placed second, while 'Better Late Than Single Season 2' landed at No. 8, rounding out a week in which Korean-language content again dominated Netflix's international lineup.
