Korean Cinema and Television

Recently, I watched The Glory on Netflix. The series was fantastic. I loved every minute.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Looking for good Korean stuff.

Any of Bong Joonho's or Park Chanwook's movies.

JSA, Old Boy, The Handmaiden and Decision to Leave from Park.

Memories of Murder, Parasite and Snowpiercer from Bong.

Peppermint Candy by Lee Changdong is a must see, too. Incredible filmmaking. He did Burning, too which is must see.

I actually disliked Snowpiercer. The metaphor was about as subtle as a sledgehammer, and they didn't even try to make it semi-realistic.
It was to sociology like "The Core" was to science: the sheer impossibility of the underpinning premise made the movie completely unwatchable (for me).

I'd recommend "The big bet" or the Korean name Casino (카지노). Actor Choi Min-sik really carries the show. It's on Disney+. But I'm sure there are "other" ways to watch it.

Beef has been pretty entertaining.  Its Korean-light.   just dipping your toes into a little korean esque drama.

I watched a Korean documentary called In the Name of God: Holy Betrayal on Netflix. It was must-see tv.

I'm watching it now, 3 parts in.  Not sure I'll finish because it's pretty rough--and I get it already.
