On #kdramatics today we're talking Korean Cinema! Here's a thread of what's been said...
Of course, Parasite (Bong Joon-ho, 2019) was mentioned, as a great commentary on class. #kdramatics
New on Netflix, Space Sweepers (Jo Sung-see, 2021). Think Guardians of the Galaxy... but asian! #kdramatics
200lbs Beauty (Kim Yong-Hwa, 2006) was a lighthearted easy watch, different from the usual dark movie that Korea does so well #kdramatics
Sunny (Kang Hyeong-Chul, 2011) was a great exploration of female friendships and growing up, set in 80s Seoul #kdramatics
There's a cult following for The Wailing (Na Hong-jin, 2016) a psychological horror filled with demons and Korean superstitions, different from your Western horror genre. #kdramatics
Mother (Bong Joon-ho, 2009) is a testament to Bong Joon-Ho's work, some say it's better than Parasite...
A Hard Day (Kim Seong-hun, 2014) A policeman makes a big mistake on the job… #kdramatics
Okja (Bong Joon-ho, 2017), brilliant! ahead of the global trend about the climate. #kdramatics
A Taxi Driver (Jang Hoon, 2017) set in the 80s during the Gwangju Uprising, important in portraying the pain of the movie #kdramatics
A Moment to Remember (John H. Lee, 2004), a scene has recently featured in Run On (2021) #kdramatics
The President’s Barber (Im Chan-sang, 2004), a dark comedy about ambition that you cannot miss! #kdramatics
The King and the Clown (Lee Joon-ik, 2005) a period drama with a surprising, daring depiction of male prostitution. #kdramatics
The Face Reader (Han Jae-Rim, 2013) Song Kang Ho doing what he does best, a fantastic plot twist. #kdramatics
Forgotten (Jang Hang-jun, 2017), a jaw dropper, a major plot twist simply genius. #kdramatics
Ayla (Can Ulkay, 2018), Turkish-Korean film set during the Korean War. A definite tearjerker exploring separation #kdramatics
A Frozen Flower (Yoo Ha,2008), “on many levels it’s unforgettable…” #kdramatics
The Handmaiden (Park Chan-wook, 2016), themes of gender, equality, LGBTQI+, capitalism. Resounding positivity from the stage. A thriller with 3 plot twists, beautiful landscape. #kdramatics
Burning (Lee Chang-dong, 2018) a mind fuck psychological thriller… a little slow but there’s a lot there! A little polarising. #kdramatics
Minari (Lee Isaac Chung, 2020) so emotional, really hits home, a family of second generation immigrants. What the academy did to this film was CRIMINAL. #kdramatics
Our Love Story (HyunJu Lee, 2016) a GL college student who has a sexual awakening #kdramatics
