After the runaway success of Parasite back in 2019, Korean films have finally received the recognition that they deserve. This country has been creating incredible movies for decades, yet many have remained largely undiscovered outside of their home country. If you’re willing to get out to the cinema and explore what’s on offer, then the possibilities for Korean film viewing are endless. However, if you prefer the idea of being able to experience the best of Korean cinema from your sofa then don’t panic, because Netflix has you covered. These are a handful of the best Korean films that you can watch right now, without even leaving your seat.

Parasite

Pigeonholing Parasite into a category has been difficult for critics; many think that it belongs with horror movies, but others find it rather funny, in a sinister sort of way

As we’ve already mentioned the success that...

Some films are based on fact. Some quite clearly aren't. Mr Go tells the story of the first gorilla to play baseball in the Korean baseball league. Unsurprisingly, this one falls into the latter category. Maybe if they'd gone with Japan, but not Korea. That would be insane. Directed by Yong-hwa Kim (200 Pounds Beauty), Mr Go is based on Huh Young-man's 1984 comic, The 7th Team, which depicts the relationship between the all-swinging gorilla and his 15-year-old female manager. Mr Go was the first South Korean film to be shot - for better or for worse - in full 3D, and is a co-production between South Korea and China. A bonkers concept then, but what about the execution? When Weiwei's (Jiao Xu) grandfather died in the Great Sichuan Earthquake, he left behind an insurmountable debt. Things get worse for Weiwei when a loan shark threatens to sell Ling Ling and...

Director: Choi Dong-hoon. Review: Chris Sawin. Goni (Cho Seung-woo) becomes addicted to gambling, specifically a card game known as hwatu or "The War of the Flowers." He loses the life savings he'd saved up the past three years and all of the money that belonged to his family even after giving his word he'd take his own life if that happened. It turns out that Goni was just scammed by the best in the business; professional gamblers. He travels all over (with a vow not to return until he saves up enough money to pay back his family) in an attempt to get back what he believes is still his and in the process catches the eye of one of the best gamblers in the world Mr. Pyeong (Baek Yoon-sik). Pyeong teaches Goni everything he knows until Goni is eventually ready to make a name for himself as a professional gambler,...
