The box office trend of Netflix's new original series 'All Of Us Are Dead' is not very good.

According to FlixPatrol, an OTT aggregation site on February 3,' All Of Us Are Dead' scored 848 points and ranked first in the global Netflix TV show category.

Since its release on January 28, it has maintained the No. 1 position, and there is a difference of 332 points from the second place "There is a girl by the window across from that woman's house".

'All Of Us Are Dead' means Korea, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Latvia, It took first place in 58 countries including Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Serbia, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand and Turkey.

As such, 'All Of Us Are Dead', which took the top spot in Netflix's global TOP 10 TV (non-English) category, recorded 124.79 million views in just three days after its release. It recorded more viewing time than 96.34 million, which was the viewing time of season 4 part 1 of 'Ozark', which took first place in the TV (English) category.

In particular, it is noteworthy that this is twice as much as the 63.19 million hours recorded on the charts from September 13 to September 19 of last year, when 'Squid Game', which was released on September 17 last year, topped the chart for the first time. It is about four times higher than the first week of 43.48 million in 'Hell', another Netflix hit. However, some judge that it is unreasonable to compare the simple viewing time of ' 'All Of Us Are Dead',' as it is a 12-episode series.

Previously, 'Squid Game' maintained the top spot for 53 days, setting the longest record on Netflix, and 'Hell' was ranked number one for 11 days. Among the works released in Korea, 'All Of Us Are Dead', which took first place for the third time, is interested in whether it can establish itself as a global hit that connects these two works.

Meanwhile, 'All Of Us Are Dead' is a story about students who are isolated at the school where the zombie virus started and are waiting for rescue, fighting hand in hand to survive. It is based on the popular webtoon of the same name, which has become a legend in the zombie webtoon world with fresh material, urgent story, and realistic depiction.

Director Lee Jae Gyu of the dramas 'Damo', 'Beethoven Virus', and the movie 'Perfect Stranger', writer Cheon Seong Il of the dramas 'Chuno', 'Luca: The Beginning', and the movie 'Pirates' series, and the production team of the two hitmakers collaborated. 'All Of Us Are Dead' has evolved into a more powerful K-Zombie genre by adding various settings while retaining the inherent fun of the original webtoon. Here, new actors with strong acting skills such as Park Ji Hoo, Yoon Chan Young, Cho Yi Hyun, Romon, Yoo In Soo, Lee Yoo Mi, and Lim Jae Hyeok, are disassembled into teenage student characters full of personality, adding to the vitality of the drama with a fresh ensemble that has not been seen anywhere else.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
