Yeah, it's pretty intentional. IIRC they set a few strategic international markets where they want to be the best content producer. They've been quite successful in that: Lupin (France), Dark (Germany), Money Heist and Elite (Spain); Kingdom and Squid Game (South Korea).

Also there’s a massive blob of Mandarin shows, especially in the Wuxia and Xianxia genres that appeals to both people with a Chinese background and some niche fandoms of those genres.

Almost all of my home screen in Netflix is foreign language shows because that’s what’s good on Netflix.

Yeah, same here. I've watched an obscene amount of kdramas and they are adding new ones all the time.
