Typhoon Day Entertainment: Top Streaming Lists Revealed as "Hunting Dogs" Dominates

As Typhoon Bavi looms, Taiwan braces for potential impact, with 12 counties and cities declaring typhoon holidays. This has prompted residents to prepare for a "binge-watching marathon," stocking up on essentials and settling in for extended periods at home. In response to the anticipated stay-at-home orders, local media has compiled the top 10 trending programs across six major streaming platforms, offering a guide for typhoon day entertainment.

On Netflix, the Korean action series "Hunting Dogs," starring So Ji-sub, has achieved remarkable success. In just two weeks since its release, the show garnered 10.5 million views, dethroning "The 8 Show" from its four-week reign at the top. "Hunting Dogs" secured the number one spot on both Netflix's global non-English series chart and Taiwan's daily rankings, showcasing its immense popularity.

Other platforms also saw significant engagement. CATCHPLAY+ features the Chinese drama "Dr. Tang: Impossible Choices" (also known as "Dr. Tang") holding the top position for the second consecutive week, followed closely by "Fallout." Disney+ sees the Chinese drama "Til Death Do Us Part" maintain its champion status for three weeks running. In the film category, "Avatar: Fire and Ash" claimed the top spot on both Taiwan and global weekly charts.

MyVideo's movie chart experienced a shake-up, with the Korean film "Exhuma" taking the lead. The drama chart is topped by the Hong Kong series "The Gilded Cage II." Hami Video's movie chart is led by "Project Silence," while its drama chart features "The Goblin's Ten Year Journey." iQIYI's top three are all Chinese dramas, with "Fireworks of My Heart" leading the pack.
