Like Parasite, Squid Game is an unpredictable parable that explores life under social inequality -and takes the characters' fights for survival to extreme heights.Īlready binged it? Whether you're looking to dip your toes into more K-dramas, or you're already a fan seeking additional highly-rated, easily streamable options, here are 22 of the best Korean dramas that you can watch on Netflix right now-from romantic comedies, to superhero flicks, zombie horror shows, crime-busting detective thrillers, historical fiction and more. Further evidence? The latest Netflix global hit is a 2021 K-drama called Squid Game.
While the South Korean TV and film industry has been around for over half a century, the last two decades in particular mark a rise in global recognition of the incredible body of work-culminating in a historic win for Parasite at the 2020 Academy Awards and South Korean actress Yuh-Jung Youn's win for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Minariat the 2021 Academy Awards.

Impressive that they talked Netflix into this format, given everything I’ve said above.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Update: The staggering appears to be on Riot’s side to coincide with a series of events in the game/esports scene itself.
We’ll see if Netflix takes anything away from this, and starts doing it with more series going forward. That may also mean an extended stay on the top 10 chart as a result. Viewer hype is very high for Arcane, and now that can potentially be extended over three weekends, not just one. Sometimes you’ll have shows with long breaks in between episode batches, like the new Masters of the Universe show, but that’s not really the same thing.
I can’t think of another reason its rolled out this way. I cannot find any commentary by Riot or Tencent or anyone who made the show as to why this format was chosen, so it strikes me that perhaps Netflix is simply experimenting with this release format for a “normal” show, perhaps to measure social conversation over time, to see if this is something they might want to do with other series. But Arcane falls into none of those categories, making it entirely unique in this space.
