This week we have a Korean drama.
It is available on Netflix simply search for the title there
This is a story about a family that was separated during the Korean War
You'll need about 1.5 boxes of tissue per person watching this one
Ode to my Father
This is one that was recommended to me by another FReeper
I’ve always been surprised by the high quality of the Korean film industry. I think it has surpassed that of Japan. I’ve seen too many really good films to recall, from horror, comedy, action and dramas
I have a theory’s that their film industry was developed as a psy ops against the North. Remember that Kim Jong il fancied himself as a film afficianado. How it must have galled him to watch a film from the South and seen an unthinkable level of wealthy and prosperity. Heh
‘Il Mare’ was a wonderful film
