I watched Tale of Two Sisters, and I remember finding it confusing. I'm not sure if I finished it actually. I remember hearing talk about an American remake. There may already be one actually. I know there's an American remake of Shutter. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's not as good as the original. The Host is a good monster movie by Bong Joon Ho you might like. I saw a really weird K-horror movie called Hansel and Gretel. It's about this guy who gets trapped by these two kids living in a house in the woods. The kids are magic, and they made it where everyday is Christmas. I definitely recommend Parasite. It's the first foreign language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. And it's the first Korean film to win the Palme D'or Award at the Cannes Film Festival. I think the less you know about the movie going in the better. Snowpiercer is another good movie by Bong Joon Ho. There's a movie called Colossal you might find interesting. Colossal isn't technically a Korean film, but it deals heavily with a monster attacking Korea. I think I've mentioned every Korean film I've seen. If I think of any others, I'll bring it up.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will have to check those out.

My favorite is Girls Generation. I also really like Red Velvet and Twice. I like a lot of girl groups mostly. But I also like BTS and Big Bang.

That’s really cool! I never knew you were into them / it..:^) I must admit I’m a novice at best; but have been enjoying the “learning process.” Though have yet to thoroughly engross or submerge myself in it yet; more like dipping my toes in one at time, instead of just “diving right in!” ;D

Woah! : ) high praise, for sure — will definitely have to check it out!!! ; ) & you should most certainly see “old boy!” If & when you can @JDot - it’s a staple or landmark of Korean cinema. Referenced countless times over! An d I never knew about it’s notoriety for the ending... So, that’s how much I like it; as well as how highly I think of the whole thing 🎞 in general- a nearly perfect film. While I haven’t watched it in a while, the dvd 📀 copy I had had extras where the director talked about how much he regretted not having a bigger budget to do a more full-on, all encompassing orchestra. But this could be one of the reasons it turned out so good 😊 or like it did. Being forced to make tough callls & decisions under infinite pressure. It’s an incredible story, beautifully told — exceptionally acted (& gorgeously shot!). . . Like you were recommending with the ‘Parasite,’ movie here, the less you know the. Better ; but if it’s too late for that - It will still deliver. Mark my words! ;^) or don’t. .

I have so many memories with this song. It was released before Kpop became this globalized, but if it was released in this day, I am sure it would be a global hit.
