Rankings on Flix Patrol doesn't matter much, during the Alchemy of souls and Reborn Rich airing, AOS ranked in…
Yeah, the top 10 data depends a lot on the competition for each show when it drops on Netflix. A drama that drops in a more competitive environment will get fewer points than a drama that drops when not much new is out, but may still have millions of hours viewed more than the drama with more Flixpatrol points. Its "data" has limited value.
I am enjoying this but I hate that like 90% of what comes out of FL's mouth is screaming or whining. In fact her entire family do little else than yell at each other all the time and it's hurting my ears š
First, while itās true that FlixPatrol compiles top 10 rankings rather than raw viewership data, this does not…
Global by definition must mean more than a handful of countries in a single continent, no matter how verbose one is about it. That it comprises over half the world's population is also irrelevant in this context when we don't have any "data" (ie top 10 lists) from China or India. (Though the crux remains that we donāt have actual viewer data at all.)
Disney+ have only really had one true global hit with a Korean drama, in terms of influence and reach, though a few others have done quite well. As for Knock-Off, its impact remains to be seen. Disney+ seem to be treating it as their 2025 flagship, and will likely spend a lot on promotion. But nothing is guaranteed. Except the fact that Flixpatrol will be an awful metric to measure it by next year as well.

1) Itās not a competitive environment; that is the point. Disney+ donāt have a lot of attractive, new content. You just have to look at the rest of the top 10 list. Itās either old films or dramas that finished airing weeks ago hanging on.
2) Nobody is dismissing Asia, but you canāt call something a āglobalā hit when it trends in five countries in *one* continent, thatās just not how words work.
3) Based on flawed Flixpatrol data, we can say anything about this dramaās real global impact, nor even its impact in Asia as there is no actual viewer data; for that weād need to use other metrics.
I donāt think that argument holds up. If a show is #1 in multiple countries, doesnāt that automatically mean…
In fact my comments have very little to do with Gangnam B-Side (which I have no investment in), but more the general uselessness of Flixpatrol, especially with the limited data available for Disney+. It's a very flawed site in general.
And surely there should be room for such views in a comment section where Flixpatrol data is used. I'm sure the usual JCW fans are right around the corner to make this comment section the usual lovefest, so I wouldn't worry about that. Wookie is on their way, I'm sure. :)

You can hit #1 in a small country like Greece with little difficulty when there's virtually nothing else new on the list, just various old movies and few things that are high-profile. It says nothing about how many people are actually watching. Just that it's more people than those who are rewatching Home Alone or Moana that specific day.
Asia is massive, but when Flixpatrol only shows top 10 lists for 5 (!) countries there (and again it says nothing about actual viewership), the data is close to worthless.
If you instead look at Google Trends, you will see a clearer picture of global impact.
It's really funny that it being #1 on Flixpatrol (which only compiles top 10 lists and not actual viewer data) in like eight countries (most of which in Asia) in is being used as proof of it being a "global" hit.
How is Jeon Jong Seo a rising star, she is 30 and has already made her name. Most of these actors are pretty big…
She's 30, won the Best Actress Baeksang 3.5 years ago and led two high profile dramas this year, but is somehow still a rising star? Come on, her breakthrough with Burning was 6 years ago...
This really made no noise, huh? I had hoped it would at least raise Kim Sung-cheol's profile, but he didn't even gain any Instagram followers; that's how you know a release has gone by entirely unnoticed.
