[Cine feature] Period films open up the era of 10 million admissions
The hottest trend in Korean cinema today is "historical drama," Korean historical films, or Sageuk, which means costume dramas usually set in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). Along with modern period dramas (a.k.a. shidaegeuk), costume dramas set in the 20th century, a more recent past, historical dramas have become the driving force for modern Korean films' strong box office performance. .
[Cine feature] The era of “Visible Women” of Korean cinema arrives
It is difficult to list non-monodrama films that have no female character at all, and it is even more difficult to list films where female characters take the control of the story and remain “uninstrumentalized” by male-created perspectives. Represented by a handful of women characters, labor drama Cart, comedy Venus Talk and horror film The Silenced might be three of the extremely few exceptions. .
