It took me a long time, but I am now on the literal bandwagon for Netflix's mega-hit pop-culture phenomenon, K-POP DEMON HUNTERS. Be warned, this is an animated musical. In an unsuspecting world, there are demons led by a devilish ruler Gwi-Ma (Lee Byung-hun). Every generation, there are three women who use their singing voices to protect the people using a magical barrier called the Honmoon. By night they are demon hunters, but by day, they are the world-renowned K-Pop group known as Huntr/x. The trio consists of Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) the bubbly lyricist, Mira (May Hong) the rebellious dancer, and Rumi (Arden Cho) the lead vocalist. They get into a rivalry with a new boy band called the Saja Boys, led by Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop). They are demons trying to steal Huntr/x's fans, to weaken the Honmoon. I now understand why everybody loves this movie. The songs are so powerful and catchy you might think you've been possessed by a demon. It's emotionally empowering to an obviously wide variety of people. I can't say I'm surprised by how much I loved this movie, since it's still blowing up on Netflix 7 weeks later. This is simultaneously a love letter to K-pop and a commentary on manufactured hype and praise for celebrities. Despite the deep themes of sisterhood, acceptance, identity, and self-worth, this movie is also very funny and fun for the whole family. It appears cute and simple on the surface, but it packs a powerfully relevant and important message. It has vibrant animation that seemingly only Sony Animation can do these days. This has a great fast pace with a surprisingly important story that entertains pretty much everyone who watches it. I really wish this movie had a world-wide release on the big screen. As evidenced by the 2 days it was, it would've touched a lot of people's hearts. I guess it still did, being the single most watched Netflix show/movie ever, with over 236 million views, plus a couple from me. I've given up trying to forget these songs. Best animated movie so far this year. If you already have Netflix, this is a must-see movie, and remember, embrace your weirdness. Don't hide your true self, let it shine. Now, excuse me while I watch K-POP DEMON HUNTERS: SING-ALONG EDITION.
