If "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area" were included on the overall leaderboard, it would have ranked third place. Elsewhere in the non-English top ten, "Alchemy of Souls" made its debut in fifth place with 9.92 million viewed hours while "Ghost Doctor" was sixth place with 9.87 million viewed hours. "Alchemy of Souls" is a new drama, but "Ghost Doctor" aired in January and February of this year and was only recently licensed for Netflix in certain regions.
