Korean space opera film, Space Sweepers, drew more than 26 million household viewers on Netflix during the first 28 days of its release (Feb. 5-Mar. 4), according to the streaming service Wednesday.
The movie also dominated Netflix s daily top 10 rankings in 80 countries upon its premiere, showing how Korean content can transcend national and linguistic boundaries. Space Sweepers, starring A-listers Song Joong-ki and Kim Tae-ri, is regarded as the first Korean sci-fi movie set in space. It follows the crew of a junk-collecting spaceship named The Victory, who collect and sell space debris. After the crewmembers accidentally discover a humanoid called Dorothy ― known as a weapon of mass destruction ― they embark on a dangerous deal.
