In a significant announcement, NTT DoCoMo's streaming service, Lemino, has unveiled the monthly viewership rankings for Korean and Asian content for April 2026. This month marks a pivotal change as the long-standing champion 'Revenge Taxi 3 - Model Taxi' has finally been dethroned by the new drama 'CLIMAX', which has made a commanding entrance at the top of the list. As the viewing landscape shifts, fans eagerly anticipate the future rankings.

Ranking Overview

The rankings were calculated based on viewership data from April 1 to April 30, 2026, featuring content released during this period on the Lemino platform. The metrics accounted for total views, with the highest-viewed episode for multi-episode titles recorded in the final tally.

1. 'CLIMAX' Debuts at No. 1

The standout title of the month is the new Korean drama 'CLIMAX', which centers around a cold-hearted prosecutor, Pan Te-seop, who aspires to reach the pinnacle of his career. Paired with him is a former top actor, Chu Sang-a, who has lost everything and chooses a loveless marriage with Te-seop as they manipulate each other for their personal agendas.

2. 'Revenge Taxi 3 - Model Taxi' Holds Strong

Following its impressive reign of five consecutive months at number one, 'Revenge Taxi 3 - Model Taxi' now occupies the second position. Despite being pushed down the rankings, its dedicated fanbase remains unwavering in their support. The series features an ordinary taxi company, Mujige Transport, which is nothing but a front for a secret group of professionals taking vengeance on behalf of the oppressed against the injustices that go unpunished by the law. Action-packed and emotionally charged, this show explores themes of societal corruption while also showcasing the essence of human redemption.
