Ji Chang-wook’s Merry Berry Love hits No. 2 on Disney+ worldwide as episode 4 scores 9.9 on IMDb

Ji Chang-wook's rom-com "Merry Berry Love" has become a global sensation, currently occupying the No. 2 spot on Disney+ worldwide TV chart, according to FlixPatrol. This Korea-Japan romance, which stars Ji Chang-wook and Imada Mio, is also the No. 1 non-English title. It originally hit No. 1 worldwide after airing its second episode on October 14 and has continued to maintain its popularity, with episode 4 receiving an impressive 9.9 rating on IMDb.

The series, a CJ ENM global project, is set in a picturesque Japanese island where Ji Chang-wook plays Lee Yu Bin, a once-successful Korean space planner who finds himself selling off farmland after his business collapses. He meets local farmer Shirahama Karin (Imada Mio), and their interactions lead to a variety of rom-com tropes - enemies-to-lovers, strangers-to-lovers, and in this case, even real estate lovers.

Viewers are clearly captivated by the slow-burn romance as episode 4's score of 9.9 on IMDb indicates a high level of enjoyment. A preview of episode 5 hints at drama to come, with the introduction of Han Si A (Lee Hyo In), the junior of a global construction company chairman and a potential rival to the beloved berry couple. Despite the storm that Si A brings, fans should stay for the sweet moments, like Ji Chang-wook's apron-wearing househusband, and keep watching for the drama that Si A is sure to bring. The series is currently streaming on Disney+.
