Squid Game is so bad it’s amazing. Korean movies & series are great. You get thrown into a completely different world & it’s immersive.
Korea is a fucked up culture & place to live for sure. But they tell interesting stories & the characters are unique.
I’m a fan. I’ll never visit that shithole though.
have you ever been before? why in your opinion is it a shithole when it's quite rich and developed? I'm not disagreeing with you just curious on your thoughts
You know what. I have a tendency to have very strong opinions, loosely held.
I like their movies. I like their shows. Sure they seem to really be into organ harvesting & fiat money scams; and possibly the underage sex trade BUT I don’t know enough to call it a shithole.
I am now open to a visit to Korea. I’ve done a full 180. Dead serious.
real Korean food in Korea: mostly great, very unique.
infrastructure: absolutely world class
culture: lacking, hyper materialistic, end stage capitalism with no soul. brutally conformist.
just my opinions on the place.
🫡🫡
The brutally conformist side of things always concerns me. Don’t ever get in trouble in one of these places. It won’t end well.
I agree. I have watched quite a few of there series and movies all of them fucked up, but entertaining. Oldboy the movie years ago is what got me started.
Oldboy is definitely messed up.
Parasite was more recent & very good too.
Loved Memories of Murder & Train to Busan as well.
Parasite was good. Haven’t seen the other two.
Add to the list. I don’t recommend crap. Ever.
