Fans of Korean entertainment know that the only way to satiate one's appetite for more of the best K-dramas is to either unplug the TV and/or disconnect the internet so you can't stream shows anymore. That, or you could just binge even more by watching the best Korean TV series on Netflix and the must-watch, new K-dramas of the year—and even dive into the world of Korean cinema.
Films hailing from South Korea have been wowing cinephiles for decades, and arguably increased in popularity with American audiences thanks to streaming (remember when Oldboy first hit Netflix in its early days?), and even more so since the breakthrough success of Parasite's groundbreaking Best Picture win at the 2020 Oscars. From romance movies like Tune in For Love to horror epics like Train to Busan, Korean films offer an escape into worlds with both intense plot twists and cheesy scenes (which we love). (Bonus: Most Korean movies, on Netflix and otherwise, come in right under that two-hour mark.)
