A remake of a 2010 comedy film, originally made in Japan and Korea, has quickly become a popular hit on Netflix worldwide. Netflix has seen great success with its international shows, particularly action and romantic comedy K-dramas. This remake stands out as one of the platform’s current favorites, though most of their international hits feature original storylines.
All eight episodes of Romantics Anonymous became available on October 16, 2025. This TV series is a remake of the 2010 French-Belgian film with the same title, and it’s a Japanese-Korean collaboration. The story centers around Sosuke Fujiwara, who runs a chocolate shop, and Hana Lee, a chocolatier, as they develop a connection. However, both have personal challenges: Sosuke dislikes being touched, and Hana avoids eye contact.
Netflix announced that Romantics Anonymous is currently the 6th most popular non-English language TV show on their platform, based on viewership from October 13th to 19th. The series quickly attracted 2.1 million viewers, totaling 13.5 million hours of watch time in just a few days. It’s also the most-watched show in Japan right now.
The 2010 romantic comedy Romantics Anonymous was a commercial success, earning $14.7 million despite costing only $7.2 million to make. The original French-Belgian film has received positive reviews, with an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and won an award for Best Foreign Film at the Magritte Awards. It was also adapted into a UK stage musical in 2017.
The 2025 TV series Romantics Anonymous has been well-received. It currently has an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb. Although Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t have many critic reviews yet, the three available are all positive. Reviewers appreciate the show’s heartwarming story and how it feels original, even as a remake.
The show’s success is clear from its strong performance on Netflix worldwide, as well as in specific countries. In addition to being the most popular show in Japan, it’s currently a top 10 hit in 13 countries, including South Korea. This demonstrates how quickly the show has gained popularity and earned positive reviews from viewers.
Everyone’s talking about Romantics Anonymous, and it looks like it’s becoming the next big Korean and Japanese drama on Netflix. Netflix’s focus on international shows is really paying off, and this one is especially popular with viewers outside of Korea and Japan. It’s likely to continue gaining popularity in the coming weeks.
