      With Express VPN can I get more than one country at the same time. I have
      been into Korean dramas and movies for a while. But I just recently started to watch Japanese dramas and movies. My Japanese mom likes Korean dramas more that Japanese dramas and that’s all she watches. She doesn’t watch movies in Korean or Japanese. But there are so many good Korean movies thanks to this channel I’m really enjoying Korean movies. If I get Korean Netflix it will be hard to watch together because we need Japanese and English subtitles. For Japanese Netflix we only need English subtitles. If I can I want to have both Japanese and Korean content. Can I do that and is it a reasonable price. I think I would get a lot of use out of both.
      Sorry for so many questions but I’m really interested in this

    Video Suggestions -
    1) A list of Notable / Significant Korean movies, which Korean movie lovers (especially non-Koreans) should know of or watch to experience the milestones, like:
    If I'm not wrong,
    Shiri - First Korean Blockbuster;
    Whispering Corridors - The Horror movie that started the Korean horror wave;
    My Sassy Girl - this popularised Korean movies in Asian countries;
    My Train to Busan - Hollywood paid attention
    Parasite - The Academy paid attention
    Memories of Murder - I come across this in many Top Mystery List.
    2) Signature films of great Korean directors. The one film that made each famous and identifies them.

    Done watching 'The Front Line'. War is tragic in all its forms and praying never to happen again today, or in the near future.
    This movie hits so many level of emotion, being not only about war but how humans will and can survive adversities no matter the situation. Sacrifice is and will forever be the ultimate word for love.
    On a lighter note, are these actors vampires??!! They look exactly the same 10 years ago?? How can this freakin be!! The acting was superb. All of them should have gotten awards for all their hard work for this movie, including the director of course.

    I'm actually shocked that Train to Busan is not here. That was a great movie!! Also I'm sorry but I don't understand the hype that Veteran gets. I love Yoo Ah-In with all my heart but that movie is not one of his best. It lacks depth and emotion, and it doesn't even look good (very basic cinematography). It's basically a lot of punching and blood. I'm still pissed that the last 10-20 minutes was a fight scene. Who makes fight scenes that long?!?!

Reviews of and motivations behind likes of New World, Master, Inside Men, Wailing etc. Why Korean movies so good? What separates them from Japanese contemporaries and Korean classics?

    Why mentioning all these great Dramas when they're not available to watch. I'd like to see "My Father" " Hope" & "Miss Granny" none of these are available on Viki or Netflix's

      Gooddrama and dramacool. These have subs. Also ask a Korean friend to find a torrent for you - you have to type the name of the movie in Korean and search on Tor web browser. Sometimes you can find English subs by search in the same way.

    Critics should have rated New World higher.

    I think Parasite should be top 30 only. It wasn't that good. A bit unrealistic if you ask me. Old Boy is number one. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance at Number 2. Bong ho is overrated as a director. I found Memories of Murder a sleep fest. I don't trust the critics.
