The “Horyu boom” was triggered by the popularity of the TV drama “Winter Sonata,” which depicts the conflict between men and women with the theme of pure love, gaining support from many people, especially middle-aged women. In the movie world, “Introducing my girlfriend” (2004), “Snow in April” (2005), and other films depicting complicated conflicts between men and women on the theme of love, Speaking of Korean movies, there are a lot of people who think of pure and painful romance movies. However, recently, many masterpieces have appeared one after another in a wide range of genres such as action movies, human dramas, horror, and documentaries. Against this backdrop, the government actively provided public funding for film production, and established a “screen quota system” that obliges movie theaters to ensure the number of screening days for domestic works. The movement you are trying to make may be beginning to bear fruit.
This time, not only romance, but also a wide range of genres of movies approaching the appeal of Hallyu. In addition, examples of Korean talent expanding overseas bases are also introduced. Through these works, both those who like Korean romance movies and those who don't, should be surprised by the quality of Korean films that go beyond existing images.
