Korean miniseries “Así aprenderás” tops Netflix charts in 45 countries

The South Korean miniseries “Así aprenderás” (also known as “Chamgyoyuk”), based on a webtoon by Chae Yong‑taek and Han Ga‑ram, debuted on Netflix on 5 June 2026. Within three days it surged to become the most‑watched non‑English title on the platform, reaching the number‑1 spot in 45 countries during the week of 1–7 June.

The ten‑episode series follows Na Hwa Jin, a field supervisor at the Teacher Rights Protection Agency who uses unconventional disciplinary methods to reform the education system. Its rapid ascent is notable despite limited impact in the United States and controversy surrounding a racist slur in the original webtoon. Netflix is promoting the show as a limited‑run miniseries, but its unexpected global popularity could influence future programming decisions.

Industry observers note that the phenomenon underscores the growing appetite for foreign‑language content and the platform’s ability to boost titles through organic viewer momentum.
