Tune In For Love

Best Korean Movies on Netflix For Sweetness and Romance

Ready for some slow, heartfelt, intimate romance? Tune in for love has all of that and more. It’s the story of a teenager and a student who meet in the 1990’s, right in the middle of the IMF crisis.

They develop feelings towards each other, but as is the case with many true life stories, the timing isn’t right. They drift apart and adulthood takes over with its challenges, but the two keep in touch despite being many miles apart from each other.

Tune in for love is a very slow-paced, but beautifully made film. Throughout the movie, you can’t help but admire the love and friendship shared by the two main characters in it.&nbsp,&nbsp,

Genre: Romance&nbsp, |&nbsp, Age Rating: 15+&nbsp,

Director: Ji-woo Jung | Release Date: 5th November 2019&nbsp, | Run Time: 2 hr 2 min

Burning

Best Korean Movies on Netflix For Metaphors

Burning is slow, like reaaaalll slow. But it’s also very, very deep. The movie kept my brain engaged throughout. Burning is loosely based on Haruki Murakami’s book, and I must say it’s done justice to the writer’s slow build up in his books.&nbsp,

When you start watching burning, it all seems to simple - a boy bumps into a girl from his past and he agrees to take care of her cat. But as the movie progresses, there are layers after layers that are lifted to reveal more about human nature. Nothing is as it seems.&nbsp,

Burning may not be enjoyed by those who love a fast paced action flick, but if you like art thrillers, you must give this movie a try.&nbsp,

Genre: Psychological Thriller | Age Rating: 18+&nbsp,

Director: Chang-Dong Lee | Release Date: 17th May 2018 | Run Time: 2 hr 28 min

High Society

Best Korean Movies on Netflix For Reflection

High Society does feel a bit like it jumped off the popular web series House of Cards, but it’s enjoyable nevertheless. The story follows an economics professor who enters politics and his wife who works in an art gallery and wants to move up the ladder.&nbsp,

The super ambitious couple will go to any extent, and I mean, ANY extent to become successful and popular, including putting their morals and relationship in the backseat. High Society is quite interesting and makes you reflect on what you are willing to give up to reach the top.&nbsp,

Genre: Drama | Age Rating: 18+

Director: Hyuk Byun | Release Date: 29th August 2018 | Run Time: 2 hrs&nbsp,

Svaha: The Sixth Finger

Best Korean Movies on Netflix For Horror Lovers&nbsp,

I have an affinity towards scary, monster movies, no matter how cheesy they are. If you are anything like me, I’m sure you will love Svaha: The Sixth Finger. The movie has religion, cult, spirits or ghosts, and even a pastor.&nbsp,

In fact, the movie is based on a pastor who is investigating the actions of a religious cult indulging in shady practices and is trying to expose the cult. Storyline aside, the makings of a good horror movie lie in the audio, being able to give the audience the right jumps at the right places.&nbsp,

The visual effects are also very important and this is something that very few movie makers manage to achieve. Svaha might be a controversial story, but watch it with an open mind cos the audio and video are simply superb.&nbsp,&nbsp,

Genre: Suspense, Horror | Age Rating: 15+

Director: Jae-hyun Jang | Release Date: February 20, 2019 | Run Time: 2 hrs 2 min

Psychokinesis

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Superhero Film Lovers

I can never get bored watching a film with Superman, Spiderman, Batman or any of the zillion other superheroes in our world. So, Psychokinesis kept me happily munching on my popcorn as it took me through the story of Shin Seok-heon who suddenly gains superpowers after drinking water affected by a meteor.

This dad uses his powers to save his daughter and his neighborhood from a construction company run by a mafia gang. I really liked this movie because it is about an average guy, who has a regular job and is quite helpless, who turns powerful. The movie has a lot of heart and got me quite emotional as well.&nbsp,

Genre: Action, Fantasy | Age Rating: 15+

Director: Sang-Ho Yeon | Release Date: 25th April 2018 | Run Time: 1 hr 41 min

Forgotten

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Plot Twists and Turns

Watching Forgotten was like being on a rollercoaster. This mystery thriller kept me on the edge of my seat with so many plot twists and turns, where it was totally unexpected. Jin-Seok’s older brother is kidnapped and released after 19 days. But when he comes back, there is something strangely different about him. Plus he does not remember anything from his kidnapping.

As the movie progresses and Jin-Seok tries to understand his brother, there are unpredictable twists, supported by the perfect camera and sound work, which is what makes these movies a success. And by success, I mean, leaving the audience with chills and goosebumps.&nbsp,

Genre: Mystery, Thriller | Age Rating: 15+

Director: Hang-Jun Jang | Release Date: 29th November 2017 | Run Time: 1hr 48 min

Lucid Dream

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Sci-Fi Movie Buffs

A lot of movies have been made loosely based on lucid dreaming, the most popular being Inception. Lucid Dream, in my opinion, is a lighter movie when compared to Inception, but very gripping, nevertheless.

The plot is about an investigative journalist who is trying to track down the whereabouts of his son who was kidnapped 3 years ago, with the help of his friend who is a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist takes him through the process of lucid dreaming to recall his memories of the day when his son was kidnapped.

The film is fast-paced, with hardly any slow stretches. The actors are incredible, especially when it comes to portraying anger, frustration, and other emotions.&nbsp,

Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller | Age Rating: 15+

Director: Joon-Sung Kim | Release Date: 2nd June 2017 | Run Time: 1hr 41min

26 Years

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Suspense

This drama thriller is about a group of people seeking revenge for a massacre that occurred 26 years ago during which each person in the covert group lost someone close to them. The unique and unusual group includes a CEO of a large company, a policeman, a gangster, a national shooter and a director of a security firm.&nbsp,

Each one has their own strengths and together they form a formidable power, great enough to plot and take down the ex-president who was responsible for the killing. The movie is mostly fast paced, though it does slow down at times. There are enough twists to keep it interesting from start to finish.&nbsp,&nbsp,

Genre: Drama, Thriller | Age Rating: 15+

Director: Geun-Hyun Cho | Release Date: 29th November 2012 | Run Time: 2 hrs 15 min

The President’s Barber

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Political Satire

And now for some comedy! Though The President’s Barber is over 15 years old, the movie is still hilarious and heartwarming. It is about the journey of a barber to the president and his family over four decades.

Korea’s history changes a lot over the years and the experiences of the barber and his only son are funny for the most part, but also sweet and pull at your heart’s strings. The cinematography and editing is excellent, which contributes to this movie being interesting throughout.

The actors are at their best, each one, even the little boy, emoting to perfection.&nbsp,

Genre: Drama, Comedy | Age Rating: All age groups |&nbsp,

Director: Chan-Sang Lim | Release Date: 5th May 2004 | Run Time: 1 hr 56 min

The Bros

Best Korean Movie on Netflix For Family Comedy

Saturday nights are meant to be spent on the couch with your favourite people watching a good comedy flick. I chose “The Bros” on one such Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised.
