You Are Missing Out, If You Haven't Watched These Swoon Worthy Korean Movies!

South Korean films are some of the most aesthetically pleasing, emotionally captivating and well-written films because you never know what you’re going to get and that’s what makes them so great. They are unpredictable, genre-bending and masterfully crafted. With “Parasite’s” Oscar win for Best Picture at the 2020 Oscars, South Korean films have reached major streaming platforms and have finally started to gain the massive popularity all over the world. The most rewarding experience when watching a film is to be blown away by the story and to feel attached to the characters. South Korea is an expert at accomplishing this. They arguably produce the highest quality films in the world. What makes their films so unique is their originality, complexity and ability to span a multitude of genres.

If you are a horror fan, South Korea produces some of the scariest horror films of all time. They usually involve several plot-twists, plenty of gore and elements most U.S. horror films lack, including unpredictable jump scares, complex stories and emotional depth. “Train to Busan” follows a zombie outbreak in South Korea as people seek refuge on the trains to escape to safer areas. If you’re more of a classic horror fan who appreciates a good monster movie, you should watch “The Host.” “The Host” is about a river monster and a father’s search with his family to find his missing daughter. It’s hard to categorize this film, as it has action scenes, comedic moments and, of course, horror. What you will quickly realize, however, is that the film is one hell of a ride.
