Netflix’s original film “Kill Boksoon,” was the most-watched non-English film on Netflix for the week of March 27, announced the global streaming service on Wednesday.

The film garnered over 19 million total hours viewed only three days after its release on March 31.

The film also landed at No. 1 on Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched film chart in Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam, and ranked in the Top 10 in 82 other countries including Canada, Germany, Spain, Brazil and New Zealand.

“Kill Boksoon” is a black comedy crime action film starring actors Jeon Do-yeon, Sol Kyung-gu and Kim Si-a. Jeon plays a single mother, Boksoon, who is secretly part of an assassins’ organization. The movie depicts Boksoon facing the dilemma of renewing her contract with MK ENT, a secret assassins’ organization while facing issues at home with her teenage daughter.

“Kill Boksoon” is the second movie from Korea that topped the most-watched non-English film chart on Netflix this year, following sci-fi flick “Jung_E” in January.
