This year, Netflix is expanding its film offering with six Korean films, beginning with sci-fi thriller JUNG_E on January 20th, followed by Kill Boksoon which depicts a professional killer with conflicting maternal instincts, and Believer 2, a sequel to a crime action thriller centered on drug gangs. Other films deal with themes such as vengeance (Ballerina), teacher-student rivalry (The Match), and hacking (Unlocked).
Those who enjoy living vicariously will be spoiled for choice with a dazzling lineup of reality shows ranging from endurance (Physical:100, Siren: Survive the Island), zombie survival (Zombieverse), coming of age (Nineteen to Twenty) and mind games (The Devil’s Plan).
There are also two new documentaries on the way. Yellow Door: Looking for Director Bong’s Unreleased Short Film (working title) follows the search for Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho‘s debut film, while true-crime documentary In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal delves into the self-proclaimed ‘messiahs’ of modern Korean history.
“We are very excited over the variety of the titles that we’re sharing with our members,” said Don Kang, VP of Content. “There’s truly a series, a film or an unscripted show for everyone, and we look forward to our Korean shows connecting fans both overseas and at home.”
