I’m two episodes into squid games, saw parasite, train to busan and a couple other random Korean movies
Pretty much it’s all been good
Is it a case of the U.S market only getting the best of the best from Korea or is it something else making the content so good on avg?
I think maybe it’s the consistently good writing/story telling or the way the language kind of naturally emotes due to the cadence
Has this been discussed in here?
