Best Korean Action Series You Need to Watch Next

 

Some of the most prominent Korean movies to come out in the past couple of decades were renowned for how tactfully violent they could be. In movies like Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance Trilogy, violence is a strategic tool for the characters, something that told a larger story in a way that felt more meaningful. That doesn’t justify its use, but this continues to be a prominent characteristic in Korean movies, although the films of the early- and late-2000s may have been a peak for the genre. The television counterparts of these movies typically don’t go as far as the film directors do, but they are still out there.
