# **30 Certified Fresh South Korean Movies To Watch Now**

With _Parasite_‘s historic Best Picture win at the 2020 Oscars, South Korea has now become an intractable contender in the argument for which countries are producing the best movies today. Whether _Parasite_ is your gateway into an international film scene or you’re a seasoned viewer looking to tick off every last classic, we present 30 Certified Fresh South Korean movies to watch now!

_Parasite_ is a great introduction to the South Korean aesthetic, as director Bong Joon-ho has been playing with tone since the early 2000s. His spectacular crime thrillers _Mother_ and _Memories of Murder_ and his acclaimed monster movie _The Host_ helped establish him as one of the country’s most promising filmmakers. _Parasite_‘s Song Kang-ho, one of Korea’s most versatile and prolific leading men, also starred in the latter two films and serves as the connective tissue between Bong and many of his celebrated colleagues. He’s worked with _Oldboy_ director Park Chan-wook ( _Thirst_, _Sympathy for Lady Vengeance_), Kim Jee-woon ( _The Age of Shadows_, _The Good, the Bad, the Weird_), and _Poetry_ and _Burning_ director Lee Chang-dong multiple times.

Once you’ve devoured all of those films, there’s also the quiet, subdued work of Hong Sang-soo ( _Hotel by the River_, _On the Beach at Night Alone_, _Right Now, Wrong Then_), whose frequent leading lady Kim Min-hee also starred in Park Chan-wook’s endlessly talked-about 2016 romantic mystery _The Handmaiden_. And if you’re looking for genre thrills, recent hits _Train to Busan_ and _The Wailing_, as well as Kim Jee-woon’s _A Tale of Two Sisters_ and _I Saw the Devil_, will help scratch that horror itch.

Since the turn of the century, South Korea has been a rising force in critic-applauded and genre-friendly moviemaking, with no signs of slowing down after _Parasite_‘s big wins. Take a look back with 30 Certified Fresh South Korean movies to watch now! **— [Alex Vo](https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/author/alex-vo/)**
