SINGAPORE: Netflix released lists of its most popular content in Japan, Korea, India and Malaysia on Monday , showing that a mix of American shows and local-language content best captured hearts and eyeballs in Asia this year, with Michael Bay's"6 Underground" the only title proving a top hit in all territories.
The top-viewed content was the semi-biographical live-action Japanese-language series"The Naked Director," which chronicles Japan's porn industry in the 1980s through the story of real-life, controversial adult video director Toru Muranishi, played by Takayuki Yamada. Netflix's new anime version of the popular"Ultraman" manga came in sixth, while the Daisuke Miura-directed film"Call Boy" came in seventh. It tells the story of a bored college student who becomes a male host and finds meaning in fulfilling women's desires.
"6 Underground" and"The Witcher" took the second and third top slots. Korean romantic comedy"Crash Landing on You" came in fourth, despite having only aired from mid-December. The 16-episode series tells the story of a rich South Korean heiress who falls in love with a North Korean officer after she paraglides into him while he is on duty in the demilitarized zone that separates the two countries.
For India, local Hindi series and films accounted for all but one of the most-viewed releases of 2019, with"6 Underground" the sole exception, ranking eighth.
