The couple Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soobin from "Charge Me Up" have captivated living rooms around the world.

According to the OTT Netflix Top 10 website on the 21st, the original series "Charge Me Up" recorded 6 million views (the value obtained by dividing viewing time by the total running time of the work) in its second week of release, rising to No. 2 among global Top 10 non-English shows. It also continues its popularity by appearing on the Top 10 lists in 64 countries worldwide, including South Korea, Argentina, Bolivia, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Above all, enthusiastic reactions continue over the chemistry of the two actors who perfectly portrayed the characters Baek Ho-rang (played by Kim Young-kwang) and Na Bo-bae (played by Chae Soobin) in "Charge Me Up." Kim Young-kwang, returning to a "rom-com (romantic comedy)" after a long time, fully immersed himself in the chaebol third-generation character of Baek Ho-rang with his exceptional physique and plain acting tone. Meanwhile, Chae Soobin infused vitality into the narrative of Na Bo-bae, who possesses electrical abilities, through delicate and lovable acting.

In particular, the charm of the two shone even brighter in scenes they shared together. The stills released on this day also fully captured moments of excitement that perfectly charged viewers' "rom-com batteries." From their first meeting, which began with an accidental incident, to the contractual relationship started out of mutual necessity evolving into true love, Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soobin depicted the emotional changes of the two characters in a plain yet meticulous manner. In particular, in scenes from the script where Na Bo-bae's cute imagination was expressed, they transformed into bodyguard Lee Hyeok-gwa (CEO) Hye-ju respectively, showcasing another visual and chemistry while bringing laughter.

In addition to the sweet chemistry of the "charging couple," attention has also focused on the direction and music that further highlight their romance. The flickering light bulb every time Na Bo-bae's heart pounds, the streetlights turning on one by one at the moment their "charging contract" begins in the ending of Episode 2, creating a romantic atmosphere; the extremely close scene on an airplane that brought excitement; and the first kiss depicting the feelings of "Moso" Na Bo-bae at the speed of the OST—these special scenes show the thrilling emotions and relationship between Baek Ho-rang and Na Bo-bae.

"Charge Me Up," a rapidly charging romantic comedy that has recorded top rankings in the global Top 10 non-English shows for two consecutive weeks since its release, is streaming exclusively on Netflix.
