I did. We all did. Still happy to see it.

Korean cinema has really seemed to break through in the US since Parasite. I will say I am not very exposed to Korean culture outside of what makes it over the Pacific to bleed into US culture. Which in my opinion makes it all the more impressive that two anti-capitalist Korean productions became international sensations after exploding in the US.

Can you all feel it? They tried to make us feel like the energy was gone, but it's still there, and it's not just Squid Game that's showing it.

EDIT - on a show related note, Oh-Il Nam was a total surprise to me, biggest twist I'd say.

    I mean it would make sense, they're right on the border of a non-capitalist (marxist) experiment with which they share much of their cultural heritage with.
