Thanks! I binge watched all the eps on Christmas! :)

About the runtime, most of the eps are 45 min, but some up to 60 min. Specials last 2hrs. As a J-drama fan, I urge you to give Trick a try :)

Thank you so much, penel! Try the first three episodes and see if you're into it :)

You're welcome! Give this show a try!

What?! :o

Nice to see some respected veterans receiving the awards!

A very interesting article. Unfortunately, Requiem killed me inside with both the plotline and Royale.

Thanks! Me and Seonsaeng are happy that, at least a little, we managed to "take a look" behind the NK cinema :)

Thank you for the insightful comment about the film. I also had similar feelings about it. The FL is one of the best pictures (out of many NK's weak ones) about the subject of Japanese oppression. From South Korea, the only movies that really caught my attention about this topic were The Battleship Island and Admiral: The Roaring Currents, but these are modern productions filled with special effects.

Not one person but two! Thanks for the comment.

Great! If I'll find Love, Love, My Love somehwere in good version, then I'll let you know .

Thank you for the comment! It's great that you enjoyed it. Yes, mainstream media tend to stick to political narratives. That is not to say, however, that NK is entirely positive/negative country. I'd personally recommend The Flower Girl for starters. Unfortunately, the majority of Shin's movies are not available on Youtube.

Thank you for a kind comment! I personally recommend "The Schoolgirl's Diary," it's my fave NK movie. Yes, unfortunately, some of the films are blocked, but most of them should be available.

Obrigado.

I don't know if this is the case with modern productions, but 70s/80s stuff from NK was heavily inspired by Russia.

Thanks for the comment. You're welcome! There are many dramas and movies with eng subs on Youtube. Yes, the book could serve as the basis for a movie.

Thanks! Well, at least you got to know some info about them ;)

That's exactly what I thought as well! If you do pick NK cinema, then hit our sources for more info, especially Tatiana Gabroussenko's articles (she's the only uni lecturer who treats this subject professionally).

Thanks! Don't disregard the movies, There is some good stuff in them as well :)

Thank you for reading the article ;)
