Korean movies keep getting better and there is one big reason for it - more and more international audiences are starting to take notice of Korean cinema. https://www.netflix.com/title/81094067 

In the past, Korean movies focused on telling uniquely Korean stories that dealt with Korean history, politics, culture, etc. They didn't spend that much money on computer graphics because spending a lot of money on it didn't make business sense.

There was a ceiling on ticket sales for Korean movies because the majority of people who watched Korean movies were Korean moviegoers. The studios would have suffered huge losses if they went crazy on special effects when there was a ceiling on returns.

But things are changing now. Snowpiercer, Parasite, Train to Busan, the Admiral, and other similar movies have brought international awareness to Korean cinema. Korean cinema has finally left its pond and begun to venture out into the open sea.

And that has culminated in Space Sweepers. With only 10% of the production costs for Guardians of the Galaxy, Space Sweepers is a fun movie with comparable computer graphics. While it has maintained some of the characteristics of Korean cinema, it has also adopted...

...traits that are found in popular Hollywood blockbusters.

I truly believe that Korean cinema has now reached a new stage where it will compete with international films. To compete, Korean cinema will have to produce quality films. I think it's up to the task, and I'm excited.
