AceShowbiz - "King the Land" proves to be a new global sensation with its milestone. Season 1 of the new South Korean drama starring Im Yoona and Lee Junho has officially become Netflix's most-watched non-English TV show in the June 26 to July 2 week.

The streaming giant's viewership chart showed on Wednesday, July 5 that the romantic series topped the Global Netflix Top 10 for non-English TV shows after earning staggering 4 million views. "Sleeping Dog" followed at No. 2 with 3.8 million views, while "The Surrogacy" took the No. 3 spot with 3.1 million views.

"Bloodhounds" occupied No. 4 with 2.6 million views. As for "See You in My 19th Life", its first season was at No. 5 after earning 2.3 million views on the streaming giant.

"King the Land" follows Goo Won (Lee Jun-ho) who is the heir of The King Group, a luxury hotel conglomerate, who was thrown into an inheritance war. He then meets Cheon Sa-rang (Im Yoona), a hotelier who irritates him with her "fake" working smile. "Amid a tense inheritance fight, a charming heir clashes with his hardworking employee who's known for her irresistible smile - which he cannot stand," the official logline reads.

Interestingly, fans were recently thrilled after it was reported that the leading actors are dating in real life. A source even claimed on Monday, July 3 that the Girls' Generation member and the 2PM alum started dating even before filming the drama. Their romance was allegedly the reason they decided to take the project.

Their agencies, however, shut down the rumors. Yoona's agency said in a statement, "YoonA is close with Junho, but the rumors that they are dating are not true." Echoing the sentiment, Junho's agency said, "The two are close but the reports that they are dating are not true."

"King of the Land" is currently streaming on Netflix.
