Searching for Ohana (459 points)" to take the top spot among popular Netflix movies.
"Seungriho" was the most streamed film in 28 of the approximately 190 countries where Netflix is available, including South Korea, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Estonia, and Finland. In the United States, its ranking rose from 7th to 5th, and in Japan, from 5th to 3rd.
