Extremely entertaining! I've watched about 3/4 of this movie list. 😂 As far as k-dramas, I got hooked since my friend introduced me to "Full House" many years ago. Patiently waiting for "Sweet Home" season 3 and currently watching "Death's Game". So many titles!!

I have been watching Korean movies for years and I totaly agree, they touch my heart , make me laugh and cry, total entertainement. My favorite two romance movies are " Crash landing on you" Love the storyline and the music, "The sword and the brocacde " ; Blooms in adversity . These are beautiful movies And many more I have watched through the years, Thank you Korea.

3 years ago I stopped watching Hollywood movies, Im a Korean TV show fan, and movies. That includes Japanese ones too.

Move to Heaven, Taxi Dricer and Navillera are some of my most favorite films!

My first Kdrama was Healer 7 years ago and I never looked back. Have exclusively watched k dramas ever since. My absolute favorite is Goblin. My favorite on this list is Train to Busan. And that says a lot because I'm old and I've seen so many zombie dramas that I was actually sick of them and avoided them like the plague. But because Gong Yoo and Ma Dong Seok were both in it I figured I would try it. I would never have imagined it would become a favorite. But you can't go wrong with anything either one of them are in. And both in one drama? CHA-CHING!!!

Oh, good. I've had it pny watch list, but haven't watchedcot yet becausevi am not a fan of zombie movies. But i will watch it now for sure!❤

Korean love story (movie) is far the best in the world. Personal favourite is The Classic

Vigilante, Shop for Killers, Revenge of others, Taxi Driver , My Name and many many other. I'm kdrama fan since 2018. of love stories my nr. 1: My dearest my nr. 2. Angels last mission: Love (i'm not lovestory fan, but if i watch some, than only korean)

Never seen a kmovie before. Loving the dramas. Marry My Husband. Wow.

I’ve just started watching them. I love them❤😊

Midnight Runners should ABSOLUTELY be on this list!!

Everything Korean is always better than anything out of Hollywood. Praying that Korean film makers resist Hollywood’s influence and attempts to introduce unwholesome themes into Korean movies and dramas. We watch Korean stuff because it is free of Hollywood excesses like unnecessary sex and violence that do not even enhance the storyline.

i still remember parasite until now just like yesterday. The movie was so epic and unforgettable for me. And i just watched ballerina few days ago, wtf this movie from beginning till the end are full of climax!! Its really to the point. "You want acrion? Ok here we go!" The build up story are full of emotion and i can feel the emotion from the mc while kill all the bad guy and make me realize she just an ordinary girl nor cold blooded assassin or john wick

I’ve only seen a few of the drama,and drama romcom,definitely appreciated the description so I could choose.

I’d rather watch Kdramas on VIKI and Netflix than almost anything here in America! I’m having withdrawals since the number of Kdramas being produced have dropped due to Covid. I am searching daily for new shows! Meanwhile I’m rewatching ones I love over and over!❤️🇺🇸❤️

Korean films have been my favorite since Old Boy. I was blown away. Park Chan-wook is my favorite Director from there.

nice video

Ballerina é Wow!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Son super mega talentosos en todos los aspectos. Excelentes actores, excelentes historias, guiones, escenarios, vestuario, musicalización, etc Ya no veo peliculas ni series de Hollywood ni nada de eso.

'Burning' is a great Korean movie. It has Yoo Ah-in and is based on Murakami's short story 'Barn Burning'.

Old classic Hollywood movies were super good too like Gone with the Wind, Godfather, The Lovestory, but I have to admit that it is declining and sad about it. Im an avid reader and reall loves movies and good storyline that I also came to admire Kdramas, as it brings me to the old fashion, romantic with sensible stories.

I totally agree!!!!!!

1. Space sweepers 2. Exhuma 3. Taxi driver

I'm finding that all Korean content is superior to Hollywood.

I love the film castaway on the moon in 2009. It is really worth watching it.

I agree😊

Korean movies and TV kdrama might be different is all but never better than Hollywood and that’s a bit ambiguous and ambitious to say the least 😂😂😂❤ good luck with that

I also loved “Hard Hit” it’s much better than the US version “Retribution”, also “Midnight”, and “Secretly Greatly” and “Werewolf Boy” too could be added.

Started watching kdramas long b4 lockdown my first was the life of the married and I was hooked to korean Chinese Japanese dramas my family are all hooked we don't watch anything else from cape Town south Africa ❤❤❤❤

I started watching dramas about 2 years ago. Now my husband, my brother, and my 2 sisters watch nothing but Korean films. The dramas are far superior to American tv. The writers, directors, and actors bring so much talent to the screen. The romance dramas are so well done that the feelings portrayed feel so real. The Korean film industry gives the viewing audience what they want to watch instead of cramming the “ woke” culture down the throats of the audience. Thank you Korean film industry for allowing us the privilege of enjoying your talents.

I do like K Drama’s, but how good they are is an absolute, but a matter of opinion. I only found two of the movies/tv series on this list interesting and one of them - Kill Bok Soon, I have already seen. In my opinion, I would recommend a completely different list: Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Alchemy of Soul, Divorce Attorney Shin, Sky Castle (soooo good), Crash Course Romance, The Good Bad Mother, A Time Called You, My Holo Love, Queen of Tears, Ready Set Love. K- Dramas have reignited my interest in Rom-Com’s. And then there is Thai BL, but I guess that is a list for a different comment.

Some of the Korean movies that I really can't get enough of because they're so good: The Classic (2003), My Sassy Girl (2001), Exit (2019), My Love My Bride (2014 remake) are a few that came to mind that IMO should be on this list...and yes Midnight Runners should be in it too, not just an honorable mention.😊

Meine Favoriten sind Wonderful World mit Cha Eun Woo, The worst of evil mit Ji Chang Wook und Killer Paradox mit Choi Woo Shik. Alle drei Schauspieler haben mit diesen Serien gezeigt, dass sie sich nicht in die Rolle der Romantik pressen lassen und hervorragendes geleistet.

ALL Korean films are better than new Hollywood releases. 👍

IL MARE is great film that nobody has heard off the us remake,the lake house,is not even in that level of this GREAT FILM

Train to busan

Hi Happy Squeak, Something to think about…if the title of this KZread is called “Korean movies that are better than American movies” than you should never refer the main actress on Kill Boksoon as “”John Wick’s “assistant”. It contradict your title. She should be his “partner” not “assistant”. I thought she was great in Boksoon & as great as John Wick! I enjoy your content & hope u think about this.

from what I can see and have observed, it happens in a mass phenomenon: 'addiction to K-drama'. I'm also K-pop, k-culture addicted! what's happened, guys? My personal K-drama list is too long....

Yim Si Wan has turned into an excellent actor. He looks so beautiful and delicate but can switch to demented effortlessly. Hard to see Parasite and the other movies since the death of Lee Sun Kyun. He has been great to watch. Many good actors in Sth Korea. Remember Hollywood is responsible for mountains of trash. It is not synonymous with quality. Far from it. The Man from Nowhere (2010) amazing fighting and violence. The Host (2008) good horror/scifi and A Frozen Flower (2008) an historical drama with some of the most beautiful music I have heard, but I doubt it would be made now as since then Sth Korea has regressed into conservatism and the horrible patriarchal values that has always soured and blighted anything from there. There are many movies and dramas that have been excellent. Just a shame they dislike women so much. There are some great women action/fight vehicles (My Name was fantastic) but the casual, constant misogyny is very distressing and disturbing. Also not to good with animal welfare either. And in desperate need of some originality. Been flogging the same story lines for decades. Except for Bruce Lee, some of the best fighting on screen ever imo.

Totally agree. The content in Korean shows is lacking originality with actors who look better than they can act. I'm kinda finding it harder to find really good pictures to watch now. Some begin so good but then just go downhill with some weak, stupid females and the writers still don't seem to know how to create a good ending. Just my opinion

I so agree with your comments. They need to develop their writing and stop with basically the same storyline. Just to add, don't forget the standard scenes, falling and being caught, someone being in hospital, breaking a heel, getting on the back of a male actor, getting drunk etc, etc etc.

K Dramas far better than Hollywood trash. Hopefully k darams don't go Hollywood. But sad to say the newer one are. I stick to before 2020 dramas, as news have more gay agenda. And sexual content

Could you just stop with the negative comparisons and insults. 🎉No way to treat an Ally! Or maybe you would like to fight with North Korean/China by yourselves? We lost approximately 36,000 troops last time 1953-1957. Quit it. Your president was here recently and America reaffirmed its support for South Korea.

But you mustn't let American money control your industry, otherwise you will lose all your industry to rubbish they bring to the big screen and small screen, please keep your individual and cultural freedom, don't forget your making money for them as soon as you are controlled by them you will lose everything..
