Jung Ho-yeon, Lee Jung-jae and Park Hae-soo never expected the dystopian South Korean show to become Netflix’s most-watched series, ever.
’s most watched show ever within a week of its Sept. 17 launch on the streamer, with 142 million member households globally watching the dystopian South Korean series in its first four weeks. Not even the lead actors could foresee just how it would blow up — and, not surprisingly, they didn’t know how to deal with its sudden and massive success.
“I lost 6 pounds in a week when it became successful,” Jung Ho-yeon, who plays Sae-byeok in her acting debut, tells. “I couldn’t eat — it wasn’t stress, I just didn’t know this feeling. I was kind of losing myself.” The drama, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, stars Jung, Lee Jung-jae and Park Hae-soo as contestants who fight for their lives through various childhood games — with the sole survivor winning big prize money. Allegiances are formed as the characters work together to compete in the deadly games while also looking out for themselves.
