Korean Netflix is best Netflix

I work my way through the South Korean Netflix once a month via a VPN to check out all the new English subtitled content. It’s a tad frustrating as so much isn’t subtitled, but that helps populate my ever expanding list of stuff I want to see. Thankfully the shows and movies that are subbed are usually essential viewing and very rewarding.

I really enjoyed 12.12: THE DAY (2023). Another tour de force by Jung Woo-sung. I’m a sucker for a good historical political drama and this one would make for a solid double bill with THE MAN STANDING NEXT (2020).

It’s a real shame we don’t get so see more of this stuff on the big screen outside of the festival circuit.
