[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding actress Ha Young’s great-grandfather, the Netflix series *Such a Shitty Love*, in which she stars, has climbed to the top spot.

According to Netflix’s official site, Tudum, on the 19th, the Netflix series “Such a Shitty Love” ranked No. 1 globally among non-English TV shows, recording 7.5 million views (viewing time divided by runtime) from the 10th to the 16th. Total viewing time was tallied at 88 million. The series reached No. 1 in 26 countries and ranked in the top 10 in 68 countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, Venezuela, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Italy.
“Such a Shitty Love” is a romantic comedy depicting the heart-fluttering, sticky-sweet cohabitation of “Go Eun-sae,” a prosecutor suffering from amnesia, and “Jang Tae-ha,” a boxing coach who insists he is her boyfriend. It stars actors Jung Hae-in and Ha Young.
However, the series was affected by allegations that Ha Young’s great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, was a pro-Japanese collaborator. Ahn Sang-ho, Ha Young’s great-grandfather, served as a council member of the Daejeong Friendship Association, a pro-Japanese organization, and stated in an interview with the Maeil Shinbo, “I am the same as a Japanese person.” As these actions came to light, criticism also fell on his great-granddaughter, Ha Young. Ultimately, Ha Young and her co-star Jung Hae-in canceled an interview scheduled for the 14th, one day before Liberation Day. Amid this situation, “Such a Shitty Romance” has climbed to the No. 1 spot, drawing significant attention.
In addition, tvN’s *Creepy Romance*, starring Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong, ranked third. It recorded 4.8 million views and 26.7 million viewing hours. *Creepy Romance* made it into the top 10 in 41 countries.
