In a remarkable achievement, the Netflix series 'Gyeongseong Creature' Part 1 has soared to the top of global rankings. According to Flix Patrol, an online content service ranking site, 'Gyeongseong Creature' Part 1 secured the first position in the Netflix TV series category with an impressive 541 points on December 26, just four days after its release.
This outstanding record extends to its global reach, with 'Gyeongseong Creature' Part 1 claiming the top spot in a staggering 15 countries, including Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Oman, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.

Set against the backdrop of Gyeongseong in 1945, the series sheds light on the Japanese atrocities that exploited Koreans for gruesome experiments, the monstrous consequences of such actions, and the valiant individuals who fiercely battle against them. However, opinions on the series are divided, with some viewers expressing disappointment over the somewhat sluggish plot, unappealing characters, immersion-hindering direction, and a perceived lack of excitement within the creature genre.
Fans eagerly anticipate 'Gyeongseong Creature' Part 2, scheduled for release on January 5, which is expected to provide further insight into this captivating narrative.
