The mystery thriller "The Art of Sarah" has topped the Netflix chart for series not in English for two consecutive weeks.

Netflix Tudum, an official companion site of the streaming service, on March 4 said the K-drama attracted 4.3 million viewers last week (Feb. 23-March 1) to top the chart for the second straight week after ranking third in its debut.

"The Art of Sarah" topped Netflix charts in eight countries including Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan and ranked among the top 10 in 49 others like Mexico, Egypt and Turkiye (Turkey).

The plot is about Sarah Kim (played by actor Shin Hae-sun), who poses as a high-end luxury brand executive, and the probe into her mysterious murder led by detective Park Mu-gyeong (Lee Jun-hyuk).

The series also gave K-dramas four of the top 10 spots on the chart. "Watch Undercover Miss Hong" was seventh, "No Tail to Tell" eighth and "Can This Love Be Translated?" ninth.
