#UnpopularOpinion

• K-Movies
• K-Dramas
• K-Pop

and other "Ks" are so excessively overrated.

So politics aside, if you have a library card/membership in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and the US, you should have access to KANOPY which is a streaming service. (apparently a uni ID also works?) You get access to popular, classic and international movies, tv shows and documentaries of all varieties. *Note that it does operate on a token system ie you get 12 tokens per month and each movie etc has it's own rating as to how many tokens it takes to stream. Plus you get 72 hrs access to the item.

Every Wed/Thursday new items of all types and genres are added to the inventory.

There are a host of Korean language movies on KANOPY with dramas now slowly trickling in as well.
There are works with many familiar faces like Gong Yoo, Oh Jung Se, Lee Byun Hun, Song Kang Ho, Park Bo Young, Hwang Jung Min, Jo In Sung, Jang Hyuk 😍 and more.

Some examples of movies now available:
-#Exhuma
-Park Chan Wook's #JointSecurityArea
-#EscapeFromMogadishu
-#MemoriesOfMurder
-#Hansan
-#LittleForest
#KimJiYoungBorn1982
-#12:12TheDay

Some examples of kdramas now available:
-#FamilyMatters with Bae Doona
--#Boyhood
-#FriendlyRivalry

AND there are a good number of documentaries as well.
I dare you to watch the South Korean documentary: #MyLoveDon'tCrossThatRiver without reaching for a tissue

So, in the last three months, I have forgotten most of the characters and plot of #Alienoid, and so now find myself watching #Alienoid2 wondering what the heck is going on but loving it anyway. 🍿 #Kmovies

Ok, with chatter on Mastodon about #Alienoid, decided to watch this afternoon on Hulu. It is funny how this has never shown up in any recommended watching, and that goes to show that their algorithms are not great.

Anyway, this thing is a wild mishmash of alien sci-fi, time travel, and Goryeo martial arts fantasy. Some things were a bit hard to follow, but overall it was a crazy and fun movie. 🍿 #kmovies
