"Merry Berry Love" continues to draw intense attention, soaring to number one worldwide in the Disney+ TV Shows category after only two episodes.

"Merry Berry Love," a CJ ENM global content series (directed by Kim Soo-jung and Noh Young-seop / written by Lee Jae-yoon) released every Wednesday night on Nippon TV and Disney+, is a sweet-and-sour cross-border romance set on a beautiful island, featuring Lee Yu-bin (played by Ji Chang-wook), a failed Korean space planner, and Shirahama Karin (played by Imada Mio), a Japanese female farmer.

"Merry Berry Love" has maintained its high trajectory since the release of Episode 2 on the 14th, establishing itself as a definitive global hit in the romantic comedy genre. As of October 15, according to FlixPatrol, a content viewing ranking site for global OTT platforms, "Merry Berry Love" showcased its immense popularity by reaching a peak rank of number two worldwide in the Disney+ TV Shows category.

"In particular, the series ranked in the top 10 in the Disney+ TV Shows category across a cumulative total of 72 countries and regions worldwide, including France, Spain, Poland, and Mexico, proving the global presence of Ji Chang-wook's high-sugar strawberry field romance.

"Amid this, Episode 2 of "Merry Berry Love" peaked in interest as it opened the curtain on the strawberry field life of Lee Yu-bin and Shirahama Karin, who are bound by a hierarchical relationship.

"On that day, Yu-bin and Karin drew attention by being entangled in a solid misunderstanding from the very start. Yu-bin, who came to Charo Island to sell the land inherited from his father, was mistaken by Karin for the culprit who ruined her strawberry field. Karin expressed her anger, saying she hoped they would never be involved again, and treated Yu-bin coldly.

"Yu-bin made a surprise appearance as a laborer in front of Karin, who had to farm alone without hired help, catching viewers' eyes. As Yu-bin's life on Charo Island officially began with his transformation into a laborer to win Karin's heart, an incredible journey of shared hardship and living together unfolded between the two.

"Karin pushed Yu-bin hard with grueling field work, testing his labor capacity. Rather than backing down, Yu-bin sincerely took care of the strawberry field, eventually showing unexpected passion by personally going out to dig up clams to provide nutrients for the strawberries. Moved by Yu-bin's sincerity, Karin gradually let her guard down, and a mysterious pink atmosphere began to bloom between them. Expectations were further raised as it was revealed that Yu-bin's father had unexpectedly lived in Karin's home in the past. In particular, the ending featured Karin staying by Yu-bin's side as his thunder trauma manifested, heightening curiosity about the development of the romance between the two, which began with a bickering hierarchical relationship.

"Above all, Ji Chang-wook drew attention for proving his prowess as a global "rom-com master" through "Merry Berry Love," extending beyond domestic borders. In particular, Ji Chang-wook is playing a key role in driving the global hit, delicately portraying the subtle excitement between the two with his signature melodramatic gaze in tidal flat scenes, while also vividly depicting Yu-bin's clumsy charm as an unskilled city man struggling with field work. Consequently, anticipation is soaring vertically for what the next story of "Merry Berry Love," which has continued its global box office success in just two episodes, will be, and how Ji Chang-wook, the "rom-com master" whose performance is maturing day by day, will act.

"Sweeping the globe every week, "Merry Berry Love" is a CJ ENM global project released on Disney+ every Wednesday night. It also airs on Japanese terrestrial broadcaster Nippon TV every Wednesday.
