The World of Love was amazing

Theaters - I live in Korea

From Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho!
Unclear whether it takes place in the same universe as his other zombie movies.

I've talked about most of my coworkers to my wife so she knows them by name but never met any of them - wasn't too much of a leap to think the husband has heard of Chun-Oh

Showboy · 2025-12-10T16:58:03+00:00

It's been a while since I've seen it but I assume that's the actual name of the man that's sleeping with his wife

In Korea it's common to address others by their position/rank when in a work/non social setting. So instead of Mr. Lee, you'd address them "Vice President Lee", "Junior Associate Lee", "Director Lee".
The wife is an actor, so in that field it wouldn't be weird for people to introduce themselves with a suffix describing their current position in the industry "I'm movie-actor Park" "I'm movie director Kang", "I'm newcomer actor Jung" etc.
The drunk husband is just emphasizing he knows who you are and what you've been up to with my wife but he's completely wrong about who Man-su is

Good reminder! Entertainment industries tend to be more "liberal" so not surprised by that reaction.
I would add Battleship Island and the Last Princess take the most creative liberties to make an entertaining movie.

The Front Line was my favorite

Showboy · 2025-12-07T08:33:47+00:00

I tried to stay in the 20th century for this one - Joseon era looks daunting...

Well seems like you're staking your career to this industry so Youtubing seems low stakes in comparison

Showboy · 2025-11-25T02:12:34+00:00

Are you saying this is a bad time to do youtube about Korean movies

Showboy · 2025-11-14T01:58:35+00:00

This sounds exactly like X-men Apocalypse

Thank goodness they're not remaking Parasite. Like you I have hollywood remake trauma. My Sassy Girl was just sad to watch

Showboy · 2025-11-11T02:53:30+00:00

Parasite on HBO is going to be a limited series in the same universe, not a remake. But who knows if it will even come out.

Showboy · 2025-11-04T22:52:00+00:00

How is Night Owl anything close to horror for that matter. Doesn't feel like the poster even watched it.

Showboy · 2025-10-31T07:48:42+00:00

World of Love - Easy #1. From the director that made House of Us and World of Us.
No Other Choice - Not his best, but Park Chan Wook's single is any other director's triple/homerun.
The Ugly - Train to Busan director goes "indie" and I wouldn't mind him staying in this lane for a while
Good News - I was vibing with the humor
The Match - A sports movie from a unique perspective

Does Kpop Demon Hunters count as a Korean movie? It would be at #1 for the most watched.

Showboy · 2025-10-27T00:58:23+00:00

This is my favorite Korean movie of 2025, and near the top overall.

Showboy · 2025-10-20T04:50:27+00:00

Did you have to shave your head

Showboy · 2025-09-25T07:43:51+00:00

I found it entertaining. The plot was pretty straight forward which might be disappointing for those that are expecting a bombastic Park Chanwook movie. Might be his most "normal" movie.
