Netflix’s 2025 South Korean thriller, Wall to Wall, is a compact, tightly woven story of modern urban decadence that deftly blends psychological dread stemming from isolated, fragmented existence with the long-prevalent real estate corruption of South Korea. Backed with a solid script full of nail-biting moments and shocking plot twists, Wall to Wall should also be praised for the performance of the actors, especially of the lead star, Kang Ha-neul, who brought his A-game in what seems to be his career-best character portrayal. Writer/director Kim Tae-joon has developed brilliant supporting characters whose motivation, actions, and worldview are shaped in accordance with the urban hell they are trapped in.

Netflix’s latest South Korean offering, Wall to Wall, is a thriller that transforms the universal dream of homeownership into a psychological nightmare. The film centers on Woo-sung, an ordinary salaried employee who achieves a life milestone by purchasing his own apartment. His initial joy is short-lived, however, as his sanctuary is invaded by mysterious, untraceable noises from neighboring floors. The nightly disturbances quickly erode his peace, plunging him into a state of distress and fraying his nerves. The conflict escalates when Woo-sung’s attempts to locate the source of the sound are met with denial from his neighbors. The situation takes a paranoid turn as he becomes the primary suspect, with anonymous notes appearing on his door accusing him of being the culprit. This social ostracization forces him on a desperate quest to prove his innocence, an investigation that draws him deeper into the unsettling secrets of the apartment complex and a nearby murder.

A second thriller for director Kim Tae-joon after 2023’s Unlocked, his latest movie stars Kang Ha-neul (Yadang: The Snitch), Yeom Hye-ran (Citizen of a Kind) and Seo Hyun-woo (Escape). Wall to Wall will premiere globally on Netflix on July 18, 2025.

Apartment living can be a nightmare: sky-high rents, neighbors whose favorite hobbies are apparently moving furniture 24/7, energy bills so astronomical you contemplate living in darkness. And for one resident in Seoul, it’s about to get much, much worse. In Wall to Wall, a financially burdened homeowner who’s losing sleep because of his noisy neighbors sets out to find who’s keeping him up at night — and stumbles into way more than he bargained for. Directed by Kim Tae-joon (Unlocked), the thriller film stars Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, and Seo Hyun-woo.

Netflix unveiled their 2025 film slate on the sidelines of the Busan International Film Festival (Biff).

Titles include Revelations, from Train to Busan and Hellbound director Yeon Sang-ho. The film follows a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs while dealing with a missing-person case. Ryu Jun-yeol (The Night Owl) and Shin Hyun-been (Hospital Playlist) star in the film.

“In my last few works, I’ve worked with heavy visual effects and computer graphics because my stories had monsters and creatures in them, but for Revelations, we didn’t have much computer graphics in it, so the work process has been very different,” Yeon said. “For example, we shot a lot with natural light and we sometimes have to wait to get the right light.”

After making several titles with Netflix, including Parasyte: The Grey and the upcoming second season of Hellbound, Yeon will mark his return to...

Netflix has unveiled an extensive lineup of Korean films set to debut on the streaming platform in 2025, showcasing the streaming giant’s continued investment in Korean content.

The diverse slate, revealed at an event on the sidelines of the Busan International Film Festival, which opened with Netflix’s “Uprising,” includes projects spanning genres from action and sci-fi to romance and animation, featuring both established and emerging talent in the Korean film industry.

Acclaimed director Byun Sung-hyun, known for his work on “The Merciless” and “Kill Boksoon,” returns with “Good News” (working title), a 1970s-set thriller centered around a hijacked airplane. The film stars Sul Kyung-gu, reuniting with Byun for a fourth collaboration, alongside Hong Kyung and Ryoo Seung-bum. Sul takes on the role of a mysterious fixer, with Hong playing an Air Force lieutenant and Ryoo portraying a government official overseeing a covert operation.

When the opening credits of Seoul Busters looked like something that would fit perfectly in the 90s, I was intrigued, because I imagined this would be something like the Reply series. Somehow, specifically, my mind went to the best of the lot in Reply 1988, and so I should’ve known I would be up for disappointment. Of course, the themes of the two shows are completely unrelated, but they’re both comedies, so I was hoping there’d be something that would keep me as addicted to this as that. I suppose Seoul Busters is an amalgamation of all things fun that are big today, a police procedural with misfit crops almost formulaically lifted from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, an underdog-to-superhero kind of vibe with an ensemble cast that has a character for everyone to adore or relate to. It does sound fun, and it is for the most part, but...

2024 is nearly half over and while it’s a wasteland at the box office this year for television fans it is one of the better years as we have gotten many brilliant shows both at the big and small scale.

So, if you want to know the best new shows that came out this year here are the top picks for you. We have only added the shows that came out with their first season this year and excluded the shows that returning with a new season.

Song Kang-ho brings depth to his drama debut in Uncle Samsik, showcasing intricate storytelling and acting techniques. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent 1960s Korea, the series explores political power struggles and alliances with a stellar cast. Kang-ho's portrayal of Park Doo-chil reveals vulnerability, mirroring the imperfections of society in a compelling narrative structure.

Best known in the United States for his star turn in Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, actor Song Kang-ho is considered an infallible chungmuro performer in South Korea. In 2024, he took a step away from his usual circuit of award-winning movies to grace the world of K-dramas with Uncle Samsik, which premiered May 16 on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. Song plays Park Doo-chil, whose moniker of "Uncle Sam-sik" points to his commitment to keeping those in his community well-fed in a time of comparative poverty ("sam-sik" translates to "three meals" in Korean).

Warning: Minor spoilers for My Name is Loh Kiwan.

My Name is Loh Kiwan is not based on a true story but a fictional narrative from a short novel. Both Director Kim Hee-jin and the novel's author likely drew some inspiration from real-life stories of immigrants to add depth to the character's experiences. The movie is based on a book called I Met Loh Kiwan, told from the perspective of TV host Kim as they investigate Loh's story.

My Name is Loh Kiwan tells the story of a North Korean defector as he tries to build a new life in China and then Belgium, raising the question of whether the Netflix Korean movie is based on a true story. My Name is Loh Kiwan marks the directorial debut of Kim Hee-jin and stars Song Joong-ki (Vincenzo) as the titular character, Choi Sung-eun (The Sound of Magic) as co-lead character Lee Marie,...

"You definitely brought something from the funeral." Film Movement has posted a second official US trailer for this Korean horror drama called Seire, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Kang Park. This chilling new baby thriller is already to watch on VOD in the US if anyone is looking for a scary movie. Woojin, who has just became the father of a newborn baby, hears that Seyoung, whom he had once dated, has died. He goes to her funeral without telling his wife, and comes across Yeyoung, Seoyung's twin sister. Following this encounter, Woojin and his family experience a series of horrific misfortunes. Kang Park's film is described in reviews as a "chilling indie horror debut" heralding the arrival of a fresh new voice in Korean genre cinema. The film stars Seo Hyun-woo and Sun-young Ryu, with Eun-woo Shim. This looks like it gets excruciatingly unsettling – not a...

Folklore horror cinema has been one of the most popular horror sub-genres for almost as long as horror has been around. From classics like Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) and The Wicker Man (1973) to more modern releases like Robert Eggers' The Witch (2015) and Ari Aster's Midsommar (2019), the sub-genre is still going strong, and still beloved among the horror community. Recently, pregnancy horror has started to blow up. Of course, the heavy hitter Rosemary's Baby got this sub-genre started way back in 1968, but several films over the last few years have added some quality additions to the pack, like False Positive, Prevenge, and Huesera: The Bone Woman.

South Korean filmmaker Kang Park has blended the two with the new film Seire, which Park also wrote, and stars Seo Hyun-woo (Decision to Leave), Sun-young Ryu (Our Love Story), and Eun-woo Shim (Wanted).

The film follows a couple that are respecting the Korean tradition of Seire,...

New fatherhood can be scary, but Seire makes it look downright terrifying. The South Korean horror film, written and directed by Park Kang, follows Jin Woojin (Seo Hyun-woo), a brand-new father whose wife and mother-in-law are superstitious and adamant about observing 'seire.' In Korean culture, seire marks the 21 days after a baby's birth. To celebrate and maintain the newborn baby's well-being and to keep away any bad luck and energy, strangers are not allowed to visit.

Against his wife's advice, Woojin decides to attend the funeral of a girl he once dated during those crucial twenty-one days. As Woojin is plagued by visions, scary occurrences, and bouts of insomnia, following the funeral, he realizes that his wife's warning may have been worth taking. You can watch an exclusive clip of the film below.

Seire stars Seo Hyun-woo, Ryu Abel, Shim Eun-woo, Ko Eun-min and Kim Woo-kyum. Hyun-woo, who stars as new dad Woojin,...

Worldwide, almost half of deaths of children under five occur during the first month of life. A number of different beliefs and traditions have grown up around this, with many cultures holding that during this period the soul is less securely attached to the body and therefore malicious spirits represent a serious danger. In Korean tradition, this is addressed through the rituals of seire, which limit the number of people in contact with the baby (effectively reducing the risk of infection until it has developed a proper immune system) and institute a number of specific taboos, many of which also have benefits for the recovering mother. Belief in seire, which is customarily maintained for 21 days, has declined significantly in recent years, but there is nothing like the emotional turmoil of becoming a new parent to prompt one to cling to tradition.

This film focuses on Jin Woo-jin (Seo Hyun-woo), who.

Filmmaker Hong Sung-eun's feature directorial debut, Aloners, epitomizes the idea that cinema can be a universal language. Though she tells a distinctly Korean story, the questions of life — and, by extension, livelihood — that she explores can be applied to all of us, no matter where we find ourselves in the world. In this way, Hong effectively holds up a mirror to who and where we are as an increasingly disconnected society, tracing a line of beauty between what it means to be alone and what it means to be lonely, and, more importantly, what it takes to cross that line and open yourself up to those around you.

Starring Gong Seung-yeon, Aloners follows a young woman named Jina, who seemingly prefers a life of solitude. She clocks in and out of her unglamorous, but easy, job at a credit card company call center without investing more emotional energy than she...

Set in pre-pandemic Seoul, Hong Sung-eun’s sensitive drama “Aloners” is a reflective interrogation into modern loneliness, as well as the silent brutalities of today’s urban life defined by competition, technology and nonstop productivity. The film follows a depressed young woman named Jina (Gong Seung-yeon), who works at a call center. She is currently the top employee in the office and is praised for having handled the greatest number of calls despite having lost her mother recently. Productivity is the most-valued trait in her workplace, and Jina knows this well. She treats all her clients equally, whether they happen to be deranged, abusive or pleasant. Her voice is always polite and calm regardless of how her often-entitled clients behave, but her eyes appear soulless. She looks like someone with a serious but completely asymptomatic disease.

Jina speaks to no one unless it’s necessary. She clearly comes from a...

"Do you make a habit of being pissed off all the time?" Film Movement has revealed an official US trailer for an indie thriller from Korea called Aloners, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Hong Seong-eun. This premiered in 2021 and opened in Korea that year, while also playing at the Toronto, Zurich, San Sebastian, and Hamburg Film Festivals. It's finally getting a release on VOD in this US this summer - after waiting a few years. Jina is the top employee at a call center, despite talking to customers all day, she has shut out the world beyond her headset. When training a friendly new hire, her icy armor is threatened forcing her to confront why she isolates herself. The film is riffing on the Korean 'honjok' – a phenomenon of young people who live alone and skirt social interaction – to examine the personal traumas of loss and alienation. This stars Gong Seung-yeon,...

A selection at the Toronto International Film Festival, Golden Horse Film Festival, Torino Film Festival (where Gong Seung-yeon picked up Best Actress), San Sebastian International Film Festival, and more, Hong Sung-eun’s directorial debut Aloners comes to U.S. shores next month with much acclaim. Also starring Jung Da-eun, Seo Hyun-woo, Park Jeong-hak, and Kim Hannah, the film explores a modern life of isolation in Korea. Ahead of a June 9 release from Film Movement, we’re pleased to exclusively debut its new U.S. trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: “Jina (Gong Seung-yeon) is the top employee at a call center, but despite talking to customers all day, she has shut out the world beyond her headset; she lives alone, eats alone, sleeps alone, and her cell phone is her constant companion. When one day she’s tasked with training a friendly and naive new hire (Jung Da-eun), her icy armor is threatened.

While some are still exploring the possibilities of film as a medium, there are those voices feeling we have reached its borders, and nothing new or original can be expressed. Given the background of literary modernism, this makes sense and it can certainly be observed if you take a look at what is showing at your local cinema. At the same time, we have to ask ourselves the question whether the statement is actually hinting at the possibility of people not having the right language or means in general to explore the medium fully. There is a lot to be learned from that discussion and apparently a lot of entertainment to be gained as well in the light of short features such as “Apocalypse Runner”, in which director Cho Hyun-min aims to delve deep into this debate while using the tropes of the post-apocalyptic genre.

Despite being a remake of Johnnie To classic “Drug War”, Lee Hae-young’s stylish crime thriller “Believer” did just enough to have its own identity and prove to be a success story at the box office. Now, the director is ready with his follow-up, yet another ensemble thriller but this time set in occupied Korea.

Synopsis

In 1933, when Korea was under Japanese occupation, five people in Gyeongseong are suspected to be “Phantom” spies of the anti-Japanese organization. The five suspects are Junji Murayama, Park Cha-kyung, Yuriko, Baek-ho, and Section Chief Cheon. The Japanese security forces, led by Kaito, work to find the Phantom spies. The 5 suspects are then entrapped in a sting operation and are locked up in a remote hotel. Each of the 5 suspects try to prove that they are not a Phantom spy. They struggle to escape from their imprisonment.

The eclectic cast-list is headed by the multi-faceted Sol Kyung-gu,...

Fantasia Festival once again delivered this year on bringing the best of Korean cinema to a wider audience. It’s one of the reasons I love the festival so much and Seire is one of those movies that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.

Based on an old Korean folklore that suggests that family members should never venture down a taboo path when their child is born and a short time after (21 days to be exact). No strangers should visit either. If they do, they could be cursed by something called ‘Seire’. Woo-jin does not believe in this though,, despite just having a baby and his wife’s believes he attends the funeral of a former partner Se-young. At the funeral he meets some old college friends and Se-young’s twin sister who he had no idea about.

Independent distributor Film Movement has picked up all North American rights to award-winning folk horror film “Seire.” The Korean chiller will be released theatrically in 2022, followed by launches on home entertainment and digital platforms.

The film takes as its central premise the Korean superstition that nobody in the family of a baby less than three weeks old – the ‘seire’ period – should attend a wake. And that failure to take precautions risks misfortune.

The story, penned by writer and first-time feature director Park Kang, sees the father of a newborn attend the funeral of an ex-girlfriend. His encounter with her twin sister is followed by a series of unexplained and discomforting episodes.

Park previously dipped his toe in the horror genre with short film “Deal” in which a man tries to trade away his nightmares with someone reputed to be a buyer.

The cast of “Seire” is headed by Seo Hyun-woo...

Superstition and fatherhood collide in Park Kang's crisply staged and chilling indie horror debut Seire, which had its world premiere in the New Currents competition at the Busan International Film Festival. Channeling Rosemary's Baby and The Wailing, this low-budget gem is one of the standouts from this year's edition of the festival. The film draws its title from the Korean 'seire' custom, a 21-day period during which newborns are kept home and away from strangers and potentially harmful influences. Seo Hyun-woo plays Woo-jin, father to a newborn child who follows along with the custom, which his superstitious wife and mother-in-law insist on. What should be a special period as a new father becomes a stressful one for him as he bends to opaque customs he...

Does choosing to be alone truly mean we are better off? Hong Sung-eun, director of the thought-provoking melodramatic film “Aloners,” begs to differ. “We are all connected anyway, so a decent farewell is a mere act of courtesy to close out a chapter,” says Hong.

“Aloners” tells a story about Jina, a top-notched employee at a credit card company call center. She chooses a solitary lifestyle and avoids building relationships with the people around her until the death of her lonely neighbor pushes her to address these relationships one by one. While the theme of loneliness pulsates throughout the film, Jina’s outlook is juxtaposed against her father (played by Park Jeong-bak), her rookie coworker Sujin (Jung Da-eun) and her new neighbor Seonghun (Seo Hyun-woo). All serve as reminders of human connectivity, notably during arduous times.

Premiered at the 22nd Jeonju Intl. Film Festival, and sold by M-Line Distribution, “Aloners” scored two awards.

Court room dramas are not exactly common in Korean cinema, but the genre does have a legacy, with films like “Unbowed” and “The Attorney”. “Juror 8” comes to continue in those footsteps, although in a completely different style, since the script is based on the first jury trial in Korea, thus focusing on them and not a lawyer or an accused, while the approach is more entertainment-oriented. Lastly, it is also worth noting that the protagonist, Park Hyung-sik, who is also a member of the boy group Ze:a, won a number of newcomer awards for his performance.
