Surprising Netflix Movie Dethrones The Rip in Streaming Wars

A romantic South Korean drama has surged ahead of the latest Hollywood action thriller, pushing The Rip down the rankings in Netflix’s Top 10 movie charts.

Even If This Love Disappears Tonight takes over as Netflix’s top movie

With every new Netflix release, reigning titles have to fight to stay visible in the Top 10. This week, that battle ended with a genre flip. According to FlixPatrol, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is now ranked No. 1 in Netflix’s Top Movies list as of February 5, 2026, overtaking The Rip Netflix and several other recent releases. The updated Top 10 includes The Investigation of Lucy Letby, The Rip, Sweet Home Alabama, 96 Minutes, Dhurandhar, In the Land of Saints, Sinners, A Royal Winter, Trap, and Awake.

Even If This Love Disappears Tonight was released on Netflix on February 3, 2026, and wasted no time climbing the charts. The South Korean romantic drama stars Choo Young-Woo and Shin Si-ah in a tearjerker love story that has resonated strongly with viewers worldwide.

Directed by Kim Hye-Young, the film is a Netflix original and an adaptation of the Japanese film Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight, which itself is based on the novel Konya, Sekai Kara Kono Koi ga Kietemo by Ichijo Misaki. The story follows Kim Jae Won, a young man living with hereditary heart failure, who meets Han Seo Yun, a woman with amnesia that causes her to forget each passing day. Despite the odds, the two decide to build love one day at a time.

By contrast, The Rip, released on Netflix on January 16, 2026, entered the platform with strong buzz. Written and directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Miami-Dade narcotics officers, the action thriller earned generally favorable reviews and drew attention for its high-stakes plot and star-studded cast.
