The world would be a better place if more people accepted The superiority of Korean dramas over traditional American dramas. If you’re tired of watching eleven seasons of television and not seeing anything interesting (I’m looking at you The Walking Dead), then you’ve done your best. click from your life.
The bad reputation of Korean dramas goes back a long way (circa 2000). when every Korean TV show’s budget was equivalent to what American productions spend on coffee for extras. Consequently, the stories and performances they offered were quite limited.
Now everything has changed. The Korean TV industry took the world by storm when “Squid Game” became the most-watched series in Netflix history. But it was just a grain of sand on an endless beach. He Squid game It’s not even in my top 100 best Korean series! Below are the best movies of 2023, all of which can be seen on Netflix.
Duna
everyone saw Duna because it stars Susie. The woman is so beautiful that her beauty must be a key plot point in every series in which she appears. This series brings to life one of the most common fantasies of our time: Seducing the most popular KPOP idol just when she was falling out of favor.
Fantasy turns into a nightmare. Because to achieve fame, the heroine Susie had to sacrifice too much, including her personality and will. Duna tells this story of a fallen angel in a very cinematic way, dispensing with boring literary devices such as narration.. To allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions. It’s an enjoyable experience, but it doesn’t come close to greatness, although it doesn’t seem to be trying to achieve that.
Black Knight
Dystopias are always more interesting to watch than to live. Because we can enjoy all the adventure and drama they contain without having to suffer in these damn places. Black Knight depicts Korea devastated by World War III. A Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic hell where you have to order oxygen tanks to your home just to breathe.. It is logical that those who deliver oxygen are equal to celebrities in this world.
There is a battle for survival between the elite who built an oasis in hell and the rest of the people who did not have the luxury of escape. Thus, it becomes a story of revolution against oppressive forces, similar to the great Andoran War.. But there is no humor in this world. His characters are too busy killing or being killed. This works against him because he is difficult to identify with these beings who rarely express emotions. Except for my future wife, actress No Yoon Seo, who appears briefly.
Crash Course in Romance
I almost fell asleep when they told me what this series was about. But don’t judge a cat by the color of its fur (unless it’s orange).. Crash course in “Romance” tells the story of a romance (unsurprisingly) between a middle-aged woman and her niece’s math teacher. It is clear that this is not about Lord of the Ringsbut his story isn’t that bad.
Korean dramas (or dramas for the uneducated) are mostly based on their characters. The plot itself is not that important. Crash Course in Romance exceptional cast (including my future wife, actress Ro Yoon Seo). which is extremely charming, enough to make you want to continue watching the series just to see what happens to their lives. The lead actress won the Best Actress award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Added to the conservative Korean culture, where a woman dating her niece’s teacher is considered a war crime, is a deep and funny thing. drama.
Behind your touch
Another case where you can’t judge a hen by the color of her eggs. Because Behind your touch is about a veterinarian who suddenly gains the ability to see the memories of every creature she touches, only for it to work she has to touch their butts. Naturally, he will realize that his powers can be used to solve all kinds of crimes..
I have NEVER laughed so much while watching a Korean drama or really any other series or movie than when I watched Behind your touch. The series doesn’t take itself seriously for a second, allowing it to explore the most absurd possibilities of its premise. He manages to perfectly balance comedy with drama: what starts as a light family series turns into a police thriller.. This miracle would have been the best of the year (even though my future wife, actress Noh Yoon Seo, doesn’t appear) if it weren’t for the next series on this list.
Girl in a mask
Not only the best TV series in the world are shot in South Korea, but also the best films. This has been true throughout the 21st century, but the world only realized it in 2020 when Parasite won the Oscar for Best Picture. While most TV series portray romantic stories for the whole family, the films are darker than the inside of a black hole.. Girl in a mask It was the first Korean series to capture the deep darkness that we had previously only seen on the big screen.
It tells a story, well actually it tells a lot of stories as each episode focuses on a different character. In this way, he deepens and develops each of them in an exceptional way, enriching the main plot to the extreme.. At first it was about a girl who always wanted to be a K-pop idol, but everyone reminded her that she was too ugly to be one (nothing to do with my future wife, actress Ro Yoon Seo). That is why he decides to cover his face with a mask and become a sex streamer in order to get the attention and affection that he has always lacked.
Clearly inspired by the masterpiece of Korean cinema, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Girl in a mask brings you a disturbing tale of female revenge that exposes the ugliness of Korean culture. exploring the inner sadness of a society that in general seems more connected than ever when, in particular, alienation reigns.
