Why am I doing this and why should you hop on this journey!

Shall we break the ice?

Hi there! Welcome and let me introduce you to what I will be talking about here. You must have gotten the idea from the name of the blog and you are right! Yes, it will be about Korea. The reason that I am doing this is, for one, I am an avid fan of their cinema and culture. However, I feel there is still not enough recognition about many things Korean! So, let’s break it down on subtopics that I would be exploring here.

Memories of murder, a movie that changed my life, literally! I would never have gotten so deep into Korean cinema if not for this movie! I remember when I was around 15 or 16 years old when I first saw this movie, by chance. In those days, the internet was still a ‘luxury’ and so for me, there was no way of knowing that two of the game-changing and probably greatest Korean movies ever, Memories of Murder and Oldboy were released. Quite frankly, I don’t even exactly remember the year that I watched this movie. However, I still clearly remember asking my cousin to put on a movie on his computer for me as I did not want to go to bed. So he did, Memories of murder, and I ended up watching that movie two times that night. I shall talk more in detail about this particular favorite of mine, but for now, it is just the introduction of this blog, just breaking the ice! Also, I will be discussing more Korean movies, my likes, dislikes, what sets them apart, and so forth. Please bear in mind though, I am no film critic or an expert. So it won’t be too heavy on the discussion about camera motions, editing, and that sort of thing. Just an enthusiast and aficionado putting the thoughts and feelings in words. I hope some of my recommended movies would be enjoyed and appreciated by you! Nothing would make me happier to receive recommendations on hidden Korean gems.
