Among Netflix’s new titles, some have managed to climb the charts quickly. While Richard Gadd’s “Baby Reindeer” has remained as the number one series almost since its premiere, some shows are starting to gain popularity. One of them is the K-drama “The Atypical Family.”
According to FlixPatrol, a specialized website that collects viewership data, “The Atypical Family” has reached the eighth spot of the global Top 10. The series, unlike some of Netflix’s original content, airs weekly as part of their deal with JTBC.
However, that hasn’t been an impediment for the show to become one of the most watched, with only two episodes available. So, if you want to learn more about this South Korean drama, which blends romance and fantasy, here’s all you need to know.
