The movie "Silent Forest" revolves around the story of two motel owners living in two different time periods.
They are Gu Sang Jun (Yoon Kye Sang) - a motel owner in the past, who accidentally let a murderer hide and Jeon Young Ha (Kim Yun Seok) - a motel owner in the present who encounters a similar incident when renting a room to a mysterious guest Sung Ah ( Go Min Si ).
According to Netflix's latest statistics, the film has recorded 3.8 million views and 29.5 million cumulative viewing hours, from August 26 to September 1. The film currently holds the 4th position on Netflix's global chart, and also tops the chart in Korea, entering the top 10 in 39 countries, including Mexico, Colombia, India...
The new achievement of "Soundless Forest" is surprising because after airing, the film disappointed viewers because the story lacked breakthroughs, was disjointed with slow development and combined timelines that were confusing to viewers.
Since the villain appeared right from the first episode, the media believed that the film did not need to be extended to 8 episodes. Instead, the content could be condensed into 4-5 episodes.
However, the film's male lead - Kim Yun Seok, believes that the film's appeal lies in the perfect acting of the cast.
Meanwhile, Wikitree also commented that the harmonious combination between Yoon Kye Sang and Park Ji Hwan, as well as the passionate acting of Go Min Si and Lee Jung Eun, helped director Mo Wan Il's new horror film receive much attention.
It is known that along with "Silent Forest", other Korean works also entered Netflix's non-English speaking chart, including "Mother's Friend's Son" starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min.
tvN's romantic comedy recorded 3.7 million views and 22.2 million cumulative viewing hours, ranking 5th in Netflix's global drama top 10, while JTBC's "Romance in the House" ranked 8th.
