One of the similar themes they have is "Fuck the Korean government for not giving a shit about poor people".

They need to get away from K-Dramas first. That shit is what gives them a bad name IMO.

This is so low effort, it's anti-personality. Being proud of not having valid thoughts on something lol.

Ok, I thought maybe you might not have liked the anti-capitalism themes but adding this is sus. And iirc you made a topic saying Gangnam Style was the worst music fad of the decade

Which, incidentally, is ALSO criticizing the capitalist/materialistic nature of South Korea.

Both are great. Parasite is probably a top 10 movie of all time.

It's alright. Wish it had more games per episode.
I like the memes for game ideas
The next game is "hold the flashlight for your dad while he works on the car"

Overrated like Minori. Family, and friends in Korea don't get the popularity. It's definitely more popular outside out of it, like Thailand, Philippines, and Singapore

Not gonna comment on your family and friends cuz that's your experience but there are thousands of people protesting in the street wearing Squid Game costumes in Korea. Seems pretty damn popular.

Thousands in a country of 50 million. Are you one of those people that say, everyone, when there's only 5-10 people doing something?

You're saying it's not popular in an entire country based off of the opinion of a few friends and family members lmao

A SK ISP tried to sue Netflix because too many people were streaming the show. Come on bro.

They actually live in the country and see everything going on better than we do from just reading news articles online. Come on sis.

Damn maybe they should go out and talk to all the people streaming the show. It's the number 1 streamed show in South Korea it'd be easy to find someone there to talk to.

Do not watch the new one.

I watch a ton of Korean content daily. Squid Game has nothing to do with Parasite. I found Parasite boring as f**k to watch while Squid Game was at least entertaining. The fact that Parasite won best picture should immediately tell you it's not an entertaining watch and was made especially for critics.

Anyone who isn't...well, like the TC should definitely check out 'The Wailing' if you get a chance, one of the best horror movies I've seen in quite some time
