This movie and television hotspot is not over yet:
How hot can Squid Games really be?
Latest News:
As of press time, it is firmly ranked first in the number of broadcasts on the world chart.
The top spot since last week is unassailable.
As the heat continues to rise, Sir is looking forward to this question:
"Squid Game", is this the only one?
All indications.
The future, quite possibly, is much more than that.
When South Korea began to become one of the best providers of non-English content on the platform, Netflix decided to add an additional $500 million (about 3.2 billion yuan) next year to focus on Korean movies/Korean dramas.
The idea is still that line of thinking:
There is no limit to the scale, no interference in the content, and no capping of funds.
thereupon
Netflix sets up the game.
Made in Korea.
And, the top actors and creators in half the country entered the game.
Korean film /Korean drama, about to go all out.
Recently, the official release of a Korean Netflix to be broadcast list, Sir was really frightened.
Names that appear in the film list, including but not limited to:
Ha Jeong-woo, Liu Ya-jin, Bae Doo-na, Kong Liu, Xue Jingqiu, Hwang Jeong-min, Kim Hye-so, Jeon Do-yeon, Park Hae-so, Han Shao-hee, Ji Chang-wook, Kim Woo-bin...
Are you excited too?
Sir, this will take you one by one.
Don't look for the next Squid.
Guess how many films can surpass, even let us forget "Squid".
Film class
Night Fork
Director: Luo Xian
Starring: Seo Kyung-joo / Park Hae-so / Park Jin-young / Song Re-advent / Lee Yi

The former, one of the "troika" of South Korea, a national treasure actor, the representative works "Suyuan", "Zishan Fish Spectrum", "The Voice of the Guy", "Haeundae", "Shio Island".
The latter, the male second Cao Shangyou in "Squid Games".
Theme, Korean Drama Traditional Arts: Tough Guy Spy Battle Action Movie.
The story of South Korean national intelligence officer and head of the Overseas Task Force (Xue Jingqiu) operating in Shenyang, and the relegated prosecutor (Park Hae-so) in China to search for the missing North Korean high-ranking officials.
Sir was curious, why is the background Shenyang?
The first is the film setting: Shenyang is the biggest battleground for Asian spies.
Second, looking at the history of Korean films:
Many masterpieces have chosen Northeast China as a story base, "Yellow Sea", "Crime City", "New World", "Sea Mist"...
This is really out of the circle.
Moral Sense
Director: Park Hyun-jin
Starring: Xu Xian / Lee Mao-young
Airtime: February 2022
Based on a Korean large-scale manga, a love story about "special orientation".
The original painting style is not convenient to say more
Netflix also does not plan to make any small fresh, online time in February 2022, grading 18+.
Two idol actors starred:
Seo Hyun, who debuted in girls' generation; Lee Hyung-young, a member of U-KISS.
Sir flipped through the information.
If the acting skills do not pull the crotch, the annual CP is scheduled.
Seoul Battle
Director: Wen Xiansheng
Starring: Yoo Ya-jin / Ko Gung-woo / Lee Kyu-kyung / Park Joo-hyun
The total cost is 21 billion won (about 110 million yuan).
But look at the lead actor, you don't feel big
Korea's youngest Green Dragon Film Emperor, Liu Yaren.
Not a personal show.
The lineup is called "all the evil people":
Ko Gung-woo, "Please Answer 1988" in Sun-woo; Lee Kyu-jiong, representative works "Witty Prison Life", "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", "Secret Forest", etc.; Park Joo-hyun, the best newcomer actress of this year's Hundred Appreciations Art Awards, the representative work "Snooping"; and the well-known "Oh Il-gu, President Kim" Kim Sung-kyun.
What is this battle going to shoot?
Sir briefly turned over the plot summary:
At the 1988 Seoul Olympics in South Korea, during the opening ceremony, a group of top racers called the "Joonggyedong Supreme Team" assembled to target a secret fund belonging to the Olympic VIP.
……
Isn't this the asian retro version of Fast & Furious???
If nothing else, just don't mention "logging tired".
Sir must have been on the spot.
Web dramas
My Name
Director: Kim Jin-min
Starring: Han Shaoxi / Park Hee-soon / Ahn Phu-hyun / Jang Lee / Kim Sang-ho
Start date: October 15
Another 18 forbidden, this time the theme is darker:
Female crime action drama.
It will be released on October 15, with a total of 8 episodes.
Starring Han Shaoxi, the name is not familiar, but you must remember this face:
In "The World of Couples", "Attack on the Little Three".
And in this play she becomes like this:
And something like this:
"Vase" was promoted to "Hit Woman".
That's right, the old way of making stars in the Hong Kong film industry.
Even the plot is very "Hong Kong film":
In order to find the real murderer of her father and take revenge, the young girl Zhiyou (Han Shaoxi) chooses to enter a criminal organization to cultivate his killing skills, and at the request of the leader of the organization, he becomes a police undercover with a new name "Wu Huijin" and starts a two-sided life.
Two names.
Two identities.
The female version of Infernal Affairs?
The image, the script, and the posture are all done, but Sir is still a little worried.
The big heroine action scene, the most afraid of two points:
The first is to forcibly deify the force value and ignore the inner portrayal of female characters;
The second is the sudden heavenly landing assist, revenge drama into love drama.
Not afraid is a cool drama.
I'm afraid it's so cool that it's unreasonable, and the dog is bloody.
A look at the classification of Douban:
Sir was a little flustered.
Let's wait and see.
The Minister of Hell
Director: Yan Shanghao
Starring: Yoo Ya-jin / Kim Hyun-joo / Park Jeong-min / Won Jin-eun / Kim Do-yoon / Lee Lai / Leung Yi-jun
Start date: November 19
Sir's most anticipated one.
Here's why:
Liu Yaren.
18 forbidden.
Thriller suspense drama.
"Busan Trip" director Yeon Sang-ho directed.
Not enough?
Then look at the supporting roles, which one is not a star:
Kim Hyun-joo, the heroine of "Shang Dao"; Park Jeong-min, the heroine of "Save Me from Evil"; Lee Lai, the child star of "Suyuan" in "Suyuan"; Liang Yijun in "Ah, Wilderness"...
Launched on November 19, a total of 6 episodes.
The synopsis given on Netflix goes like this:
Otherworldly creatures suddenly appear around the globe, taking humans to hell.
One religious organization vigorously preached that this was a "divine judgment."
High concept, soft sci-fi, exciting?
Don't worry, the trailer is even more exciting.
The angel will first say the name of the person involved
The date of their death will be announced later
And say they are doomed to hell
When the time comes
The messengers of hell will come out and fulfill the prophecies
Boy.
"Messenger of The Shadow" + "Cabin in the Woods" + "Death Diary"?
Even the posters made Sir think.
Two "Liu Yaren".
In the upper part, the taste of hades permeates joy:
This Liu Yaren, surrounded by children, laughed and laughed, like a teacher like a father.
In the second half, there is relief in death.
This Liu Yaren seemed to have just died, alone, covered in blood.
Which is the real him
The embodiment of the cult Satan?
A savior who sacrifices himself for others?
The answer, revealed a month later.
The Silent Sea
Director: Cui Xiangyong
Starring: Pei Doona / Kong Liu / Li Zhun
Start time: December
Pei Douna + Kong Liu.
Give you three seconds to scream first.
Not only that, the producer is also the film emperor Zheng Yusheng, and the screenwriter is Park Eun-joo, the screenwriter of "Mother".
Luxurious lineup pocket bottom.
The story is more ambitious:
The "Silent Sea" is a lunar sea located in the impact basin of the Moon's Still Sea. In the future world, the earth is in a desertification crisis, in order to save mankind, the governments of various countries have trained a group of high-end talents, led by biologists (Pei Doona) and the elite captain of the troops (Kong Liu) to the abandoned lunar base to retrieve mysterious samples.
Thriller sci-fi.
It was released in December this year and has a total of 8 episodes.
Sci-fi is a hotbed of blockbusters.
Spacesuits, spaceships, universes... Instantly ignite curiosity.
But Sir is more hopeful that it will shoot more.
Like what.
The hesitant humanity under the spacesuit, the out-of-control desire in the cabin, and the fate of mankind floating in the universe...
Assuming so, it's not just a hit.
"Now Our School"
Director: Lee Jae-gyu
Starring: Yoon Chan-young / Park Ji-ho / Cho Yee-hyun / Park Solomon / Yoo In-so / Woo Ji-hyun
Adapted from the 19th most popular Korean manga "Extreme Panic".
Compared with the translated name Chinese, the English translation is more straightforward:
“All of us are dead”。
Two meanings:
1. We are dead.
2) We are all zombies.
Campus, zombies, adolescence.
Take a closer look at the stills:
A group of boys and girls in school uniforms pick up baseball bats, javelins, bows and arrows, or fight with their bare hands.
They cut where zombies are.
It is also the adult world of the weak and the strong, the exquisite and numb worldly rules.
Juvenile Trial
Director: None
Starring: Kim Hye-so / Kim Moo-yeol / Lee Sung-min
Or the strength of Korean drama, legal drama.
This time, she took on the heroine: Kim Hye-so, who won the Hundred Awards Art Award for "Signal".
Cut points are more sword-and-edge: judges and juvenile delinquents.
Try to identify a problem:
Childhood shadow or professional ethics, which will account for a heavier proportion of human nature?
I have to lament the rapid upgrading of Korean dramas.
Looking at the blockbusters in recent years:
"The Supreme Law" Douban 8.8; "Demon Judge", Douban 8.2; "The Prosecutor's Inner Biography", Douban 9.2.
They are all legal dramas, but each one focuses on a different aspect.
Again, confirm that truth:
Creation must not hesitate to reflect.
Suriname
Director: Yin Zhongbin
Starring: Ha Jeong-woo / Hwang Jeong-min / Jang Jin / Park Hae-so / Cho Woo-jin / Cho Cho Cho Hyun / Yoo Yeon-seok
If the lineup above is "luxurious".
This one is the real thing. king. explode.
Ha Jeong-woo, Hwang Jeong-min, Jang Jin, Park Hae-so, Cho Woo-jin, Cho Cho Cho Hyun, Yoo Yeon-seok.
Nearly 40 billion won, a total of 6 episodes, based on real events.
It tells the story of a civilian entrepreneur, Jiang Renqiu (Ha Jeong-woo), who comes to the Republic of Suriname to do business, who knows that he is involved in the secret operation to arrest South American drug lord Quan Yaohuan (Huang Zhengmin).
Zhang Zhen's role is still in the secrecy stage.
Tentatively scheduled to go live next year.
Korean film and television have always been the best in the theme of crime suspense.
Such a lineup, Sir this round first bet.
Waiting for the opening.
The House of Bills
Director: Kim Hong-sun
Starring: Kim Yoon-jin / Yoo Ji-tae / Jeon Jong-so / Park Hae-so / Kim Ji-hoon / Lee Won-jung / Jang Yoon-joo / Lee Young-woo / Lee Kyu-ho / Kim Ji-hoon
The remake of "House of Paper Money", the original Douban averaged 9 points +.
Alex Pina, the screenwriter of the original Spanish version, will serve as the executive producer of the Korean version this time.
Starring Yoo Ji-tae, Jeon Jong-seo, Park Hae-so, Kim Ji-hoon, Lee Won-jung, Jang Yoon-joo, Lee Hyun-woo, Lee Kyu-ho, Kim Ji-hoon 9 people.
It corresponds to the character professors in the original version, Tokyo, Berlin, Denver, Moscow, Nairobi, Rio, Oslo and Helsinki.
Kim Yoon-jin will take over the role of the female inspector who has a love affair with the professor.
The story will be completely localized and based on South Korea.
Beyond the original, Sir is not very optimistic.
The adaptation of "The House of Banknotes" is extremely difficult.
The background of the characters spans the world, in addition to stimulating the tense plot reversal, more attention is paid to the "sound of the string", and various homages to the local historical trend.
But if it can be changed, it will be a model.
Annala Sumanara
Director: Kim Sun-yoon
Starring: Ji Chang-wook / Huang Yin-ye / Choi Sung-eun
Director Kim Sun-yoon has directed the hit dramas "Itaewon Class" and "Moonlight of Cloud Painting".
Based on the manga of the same name, it is typical of the youth Korean style small fresh.
Sir only hopes to:
Don't be magical and lack depth;
Or too much sweetness but less thinking.
That's it.
《Glitch》
Director: Chen Saihan
Starring: Quan Yu Yun / Lin Zhenna / Lee Dong Hui
"Human Classroom" director Chen Saihan's new work.
This year's "Netflix Queen" is fully uplifted.
The masterpieces "Night Heaven" and "Vincenzo" began broadcasting, which are the top 2 and top3 of the Netflix list of the day.
The story setting is a bit like the domestic movie "The Man Caught by the Light":
The boyfriend of the woman Hong Zhixiao (Quan Yu Yun) suddenly disappeared one day for no reason, and when he disappeared, a strange beam of light appeared in the sky...
It is not simple to combine soft science fiction with reflection on love just right.
Cautiously anticipate.
The Hounds
Director: Kim Joo-hwan
Starring: Lee To-hyun / Guo Dong-yan
The story of three men entangled in debt issues.
Looking at the comic style, it is estimated that the play will also be a style with a little blood in the middle two.
The plays are classified as gangster thrillers, and it is estimated that action scenes are indispensable.
Blood + gangster + action.
Cool drama booking.
But Sir is still that old saying.
Cool no problem.
But it must be refreshing and tasteful, and it must be said to have something.
The above is the list of key expectations that Sir has singled out.
In addition, some other Netflix film and television candidates are also worth paying attention to.
Film:
Carter
Director: Zheng Bingji
Starring: Zhou Yuan / Lee Sung-jae
Set against the backdrop of the virus-ridden Korean Peninsula.
"Carter" (Zhou Yuan), who loses his memory, is thrown into a suffocating and suspicious pursuit.
New crown background "Busan line"?
"Zhenyi"
Director: Yan Shanghao
Starring: Kim Hyun-joo / Kang Sung-yeon / Yoo Kyung-so
Yan Shanghao's first science fiction work.
The protagonist is a clone made for humans.
"Kill Fushun"
Director: Bian Chengxian

Look at the title, love and kill version of "Kill Bill".
The Girl of the 20th Century
Director: Fang Yuli

Juvenile love through the film to see a lot.
Middle-aged crossing?
Kind of interesting.
Episodes:
Fingers
Director: Zheng Jiyu
Starring: Kim Young-kwang
Korean version of "American Mental Patients".
The protagonist is ostensibly a famous architect with perfect human design.
But behind his back is a typical "anti-social personality" perverted murderous maniac + multiple personalities.
Heavy mouth 18 forbidden enthusiasts gathering place.
Woman in Crisis
Director: Lee Won-seok
Writers: Kim So-ya
Synopsis One Second Of Appetite:
It tells the whimsical story of the King of Dog Blood, the writer of Kimmari, the god of script sales, who tries to escape the whimsical world of the dog blood TV series he created.
Who do you think of this character?
Everyone who understands:
"Model Family"
Director: Kim Jin-woo
Writers: Jung Woo /Park Hee Soon
Family drama, South Korea is a good drama.
I hope this time don't smash the signboard.
Courier Driver
Director: Cao Yixi
Starring: Kim Woo-bin
Jin Yubin's return to the work is also an idol transformation work.
Celebrities
Starring: Lee Ching-eun / Park Jue-young
New themes with a lot of potential:
A story adapted from an internet celebrity.
above.
It is the list of Korean movies and televisions that Netflix has released this year and next year.
Many of these works have not yet released more information, and Sir can only try to take everyone forward.
Then again.
Why did Korean film and television meet Netflix, and this time it was like a fish in the water?
Many people will think of the "famous quote" of the screenwriter of "Kingdom" for the first time:
Is it really that simple?
Thinking like this will inevitably fall into the survivor bias.
Freedom of subject matter and freedom of funding are, of course, one of the reasons, but not all.
In fact, not only South Korea, Netflix has stepped on many pits in the production of non-English content, and has produced many bad movies and bad dramas.
The value of freedom is not in freedom itself.
Rather, it is to provide equality in creation.
Let me give you an example.
Also produced by Netflix, non-English content, "Delhi Crime" produced by India.
I don't know how many people have heard of this play.
But in Sir's mind, it was one of the best episodes of the year.
Spotlight on the most common crime in India: rape.
The audience is limited, the language is not common, and the subject matter is not at all curious.
Even the director himself didn't hold out much hope.
It is said that director Ricky Mehta originally wanted to make a 120-minute movie, but during the investigation, decided to change it to a 7-episode TV series.
In order to make "Delhi Crime", he studied it for four years.
Four years later, the tide of anger receded, precipitating into a 170-page story background and a 430-page script.
Eventually, the series came out.
How did it end?
The number of IMDb reviews is less than 300, and the number of Douban markers is less than 1w.
——The current standard is not "explosive" at all.
But on the Douban page of "Delhi Crime", the top comment said:
This is the "equality" that freedom brings.
Not a blockbuster carnival.
It's not a pyramid built up by money.
Instead, let's walk through a small screen.
See the cheerful faces nearby.
I also heard cries in the distance.
