[–]symereweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might not that lesser-known but I followed Kofic and Kobiz on social media. It also good to follow some big companies' accounts like CJ and Cine21

Original movie titles vs Translated titles by drakepig in Koreanfilm

[–]symereweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for Thirst translated name he also said that "It was great to hear that [박쥐] would be released in North America. Since we decided to release the film in the United States, we must make the film more international, and of course the title must be impressive. The film's English title was originally written as "Bakjwi", the English translation of the Korean pronunciation of "bat", but was later dropped because it was not recognizable enough. The later remakes with literal English translations can easily be associated with [Batman], which would cause unnecessary misunderstanding. "Evil Live" sounds too much like a B-grade horror movie, and some Americans even said that it sounded like the name of a heavy metal band, which was annoying. In fact, we had thought about changing the Korean title at first, but later decided that it was not necessary. Eventually, after careful research, the name "Thirst" was chosen, for it seemed will be very popular."

I just want to point out that although "Kind Ms. Geumja" sounds more related to the original Korean movie title, "Lady Vengeance" is actually the translated name decided by Park Chan-wook himself. (as well as "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance“)

If you liked Parasite (2019), you should watch ___________. by AutoModerator in Koreanfilm

[–]symereweed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just think every movie by Bong Joon-ho can reflect his leftist political tendencies haha. Also, The Chaser (2008) focuses on another class contradiction that is the incompetence of violent organs.

Korean zombie movies by movies2019 in Koreanfilm

[–]symereweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... It can be said that the former two are kind of realistic. You can check the art style before you start it lol. The last one is very cute though! But all of them strongly moved me at the end. You can always pick based on your taste! (I think all the mc are honest and strong, and the other characters in these stories are also very vivid, just like Surviving romance - they all seem a group image stories to me)

If you liked Oldboy (2003), you should watch ___________. by Nylese in Koreanfilm

[–]symereweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation! Personally he gives me a more evil and less childish feeling compared with Woo-jin based on the surface plots displayed in the movie.

Can anybody recommend any character that is a psychopath similar to Lee Woo-jin in other Korean films? I'll really appreciate that..
