On July 23, 2025, Omniscient Reader: The Prophet, one of the most anticipated Korean movies of the year, got a theatrical release. The film crossed the expected moviegoers milestone, 13 days after it hit the theatres. Featuring Lee Min-Ho, Ahn Hyo-Seop, Chae Soo-Bin, Blackpink’s Jisoo, and others in important roles, the film is based on the popular webnovel by Sing Shong. For those who don’t know, it’s a fantasy action thriller drama.

The storyline follows Kim Dokja (Ahn Hyo-Seop), the sole reader of the webnovel Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World. One day, his life takes an unusual turn when the fictional world from his webnovel blends into his real world, an apocalypse hits, and only he knows how the story ends in the novel.

A new trailer has arrived for action fantasy blockbuster Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, the number one movie at the Korean box office, ahead of its North American theatrical release.

The film will open in theaters nationwide tomorrow, August 1, 2025, one week after it premiered in Korea.

In the fantasy apocalypse feature, “Kim Dokja (Ahn Hyo-seop), an ordinary man in his 20s, is the only reader of an obscure web novel titled ‘Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.’ After having read the last chapter, the novel suddenly becomes reality, and its omnipotent hero, Yu Junghyeok (Lee Min-ho), appears before Kim. As the only person who knows how to survive in this world, Kim and his companions strive to save the world by writing their own new ending.”

How often have you picked a book, a series, or a film – given your time and energy to the world it creates, only to be royally pissed by the way it ends? Take “Game of Thrones” fans, for example: dedicating 8 carefully administered years to a fictional world, only to be slapped in the face with that obnoxious ending. It’s not just a massive heartbreak, but also a lingering feeling of being cheated out of something one deserved.

The lonesome and introverted young protagonist in Byung-woo Kim’s “Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy” replicates that feeling when one of his favorite web-novels, “Ways to Survive the Apocalypse,” ends on a sorry note. Kim Dok-ja (Ahn Hyo-seop), who has followed the novel from his high-school days – a fictional world and a constant companion he had by his side when things got bad in the real world – has just ended his contract-based job,...

Beyond global phenomena like "Squid Game," South Korean scripted television, or K-dramas, have taken the world by storm in recent years. From their tightly scripted stories, appealing main casts, and stylish staging, Korean television has found enormous success with audiences overseas. Notably, many of the best K-dramas of all time run for a set amount of episodes, often just a single season, in contrast to American shows on air for years. That said, there are still a number of Korean series that end their runs sooner than originally intended, to the dismay of their fans.

Whether it's shows that quietly shelved plans for additional seasons or, on rare occasions, series that pulled the plug in the middle of production, there are K-dramas that ended prematurely. Sometimes these early endings are due to particularly low viewership while some are due to the productions being among the most controversial K-dramas of all time.

Ahn Hyo Seop plays Kim Dok Ja, an office goer who ardently follows the webnovel Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World. He is the only one who also knows how the novel is ending. His fate changes when his reality transforms to that of the web novel. He and the web novel’s lead, Yoo Jung Hyeok (played by Lee Min Ho), set out to discover hidden secrets and set things straight in the dystopian world.

Last year, Netflix canceled 22 series, more than any other Ott platform, breaking its own record of canceling 16 shows previously.

However, seems like the Flower singer has once again ignited a heated debate among her fans online. Earlier in January, when the trailer for Newtopia was first released, many were extremely unhappy with Jisoo’s performance, while others expected that it would eventually turn out to be good.

With When the Phone Rings' cast led by Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin, the series follows a married couple whose lives change after one of them is kidnapped. Seeing as most of the mysteries are solved in the previous episodes of the show, the series finale serves as a conclusion to Hee-joo's (Chae) and Sa-eon's (Yoo) story, as opposed to answering questions or setting up a second season.

When the Phone Rings episode 12 sees Hee-joo in despair after the sudden disappearance of her husband. Elsewhere, Sa-eon left Korea after he discovered the part his father had played in one of the worst things that had befallen the Hong family. Hee-joo, however, doesn't care about the past and...

Many compelling romance K-dramas came out in 2024, but the best one surprisingly premiered towards the end of the year and is streaming on Netflix. Both in terms of viewership and overall quality, 2024 was a great year for romance K-dramas, with many memorable shows like No Gain No Love, Marry My Husband, Love Next Door, and Doctor Slump seeing the light of day. While some of these garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success, others amassed cult followings due to their strong performances, unique story beats, and impressive production values.

However, long before the Christmas season arrived, and the clocks struck 12 to change the date to 2025, a brilliant romance K-drama arrived on Netflix. Following a weekly release schedule, the K-drama improved with each episode, gradually luring in more and more viewers.

Well, at least most of Hee-Joo’s secrets. This episode is full of ups and downs, but the end is certainly going to have K-drama fans going wild. While this show is dramatic, it isn’t melancholic like Queen Of Tears or Love Next Door. It’s more about the mystery surrounding our two lead characters, which makes the romance that much more exciting to watch. There...

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is a unique South Korean web novel that’s getting a barrage of adaptations. With an anime adaptation on the way and a live-action film adaptation set for 2025, the web novel also has an ongoing manhwa or webtoon adaptation. While the mediums are somewhat similar, the pacing of the webtoon has become a problem with fans of the original web novel. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint relies on its exciting and quickly moving plot, and this pacing works reliably well in the web novel.

There is, however, a huge debate on whether the pacing of the webtoon is because the fans complaining have already read the original novel for Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint or if it’s truly that slow. The webtoon is undeniably compelling for its art and a chance for the visuals to be highlighted. However, this casts doubt on the future of its adaptations,...

It was a tense time in Korean history. In 1971, a young man named Kim Sang-tae hijacked a domestic passenger plane, demanding to be flown to North Korea. The story shocked the nation and highlighted societal tensions between North and South that continued long after.

Director Kim Sung-Han brings this tragic event to the screen with Hijack 1971. Starring Ha Jung-woo as Tae-In, a former fighter pilot now turned commercial co-pilot, the film recreates the nerve-racking drama that unfolded in the sky. We also meet security threat Yong-Dae, played compellingly by Yeo Jin-goo, who commandeers the plane mid-flight.

Shooting in his home country of South Korea and drawing on the real accounts, Kim Sung-Han aimed to honor those impacted while crafting an entertaining thriller. The review will discuss the characters’ emotional journeys, the visceral atmosphere of suspense in the close quarters of the plane, and how effectively the film addresses its profound historical backdrop even years later.

"We're heading North. There's no dodging this." Sony Pictures has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller survival movie called Hijack 1971, based on a true story of a flight in winter of 1971. It just opened in South Korea last week, and will also be opening in select US theaters starting next week - glad to see them finally releasing films the same time they open in other countries. Hijack 1971, also known as just Hijacking in Korean, depicts the story of people fighting for their lives in an extreme situation when a passenger plane is hijacked in the air space of Korea in 1971. Starring Ha Jung-woo as Tae-in, the first officer of the plane; Sung Dong-il as Gyu-sik, captain of the flight; Yeo Jin-goo as Yong-dae, the terrorist hijacker; and Chae Soo-bin as Lee Ok-soon, a flight attendant on the flight.

Where to...

Netflix has given fans a plethora of movies and an amount of streaming content that seems almost endless. Over the past couple of years, the streaming platform has broadened its horizons to include movies and K-dramas from South Korea, creating an even bigger fanbase. While certain Korean movies have become cult classics, like Oldboy, there are still plenty more to add to any must-watch list.

There's a bit of everything to explore when it comes to Korean cinema, from cheesy romantic comedies to action-adventures. For fans of something a little more intense, there are plenty of heady psychological thrillers like 2017's Forgotten too. In fact, don't be surprised if some of Netflix's top Korean movies will cause some chills and serious jump scares.

Updated November 14, 2022 by Jordan Woods:

Netflix continues to evolve and develop its film selection all the time, and that includes its sizable number of Korean movies too.

Full and proper confirmation of a second season of mystery horror series “Hellbound” was high on the agenda of Netflix’s consumer-oriented Tudum presentation.

Korean shows have repeatedly achieved top ratings among the streamer’s non-English roster, and last November’s release of “Hellbound” was the show that finally edged aside “Squid Game” after several weeks of breakthrough success.

(The Tudum presentation offered “Squid Game” fans some extra footage that confirmed the identity of the mysterious ‘front man’. Take a look here.)

“Hellbound” is derived from a webtoon created by series director Yeon Sang-ho, who previously directed “Train to Busan” and “Peninsula.” It featured otherworldly angels who emerged to condemn individuals to hell at a specific future time, minutes or years away.

There has been expectation of a second season since mid-June when Korean fan media began to report on casting choices.

Back in 2014, period adventure comedy “The Pirates” released to much admiration from the public, becoming the third highest grossing feature of the year. Even today, it sits comfortably in the top 30 highest grossing Korean films of all time at the domestic box-office. As a result, conversation of a follow-up had always been on the table, but several reasons, including leading pair Son Ye-jin and Kim Nam-gil’s refusal to return to the high waters, meant that the sequel couldn’t materialise until now, when producers decided to change tracks with an all new director, new characters and cast to bring us “The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure”. After being the first to cross 1 million admissions in Korea this year and to date being the highest grossing Korean production on 2022, it is now streaming worldwide exclusively on Netflix.

Woo Moo-chi was once the leader of a band of outlaws. He and his right-hand man, Kang Seob, must team up with a motley crew of pirates led by captain, Hae Rang, to embark on a treacherous ocean voyage searching for the lost treasure of the Goryeo royal family. The pirates find themselves fighting for the hidden treasure against rebel, Bu Heung-soo.
