Tving’s original drama series “Island” made it into the top 10 global shows on Amazon Prime Video in 26 countries over the weekend.
 
“Island” entered the top 10 for global shows on Amazon Prime Video and ranked No. 1 in four countries — Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan — according to streaming service rankings aggregator FlixPatrol.
 
The series is a fantasy action drama about a group of people who fight against evil on Jeju Island and is based on a popular webtoon series of the same name from Naver Webtoon. The webtoon was drawn and storied by authors Youn In-wan and Yang Kyung-il, who are well-known among webtoon readers of the Korean horror-fantasy genre.
 
Cha Eun-woo plays Yohan, a Vatican priest, while Kim Nam-gil plays Ban, a half-human, half-demon character who does not age or die. Lee Da-hee plays Won Mi-ho, an heiress and a teacher.
 
“Island” began airing on Tving and Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 20 last year and the final episode of Part 2 of the drama series aired on March 3.
