Netflix will release 34 Korean films, TV programs, and reality shows this year, which is a record-breaking number. This is wonderful news for Korean-content enthusiasts everywhere.

In the near future, the international streaming service has just revealed the titles of new and returning programs in a variety of categories, including romance, science fiction, and thrillers.

Don Kang, vice president of content for Netflix Korea, stated in a statement that "during the past year, Korean series and movies have featured on our Global Top 10 list in more than 90 countries, and three of Netflix's most-watched titles are from Korea."
 

" The stories we tell and the ways in which we tell them this year are even more unusual. With the addition of these Korean movies, Netflix will remain the best source for unique, compelling, and essential Korean storytelling, he continued. Some of the best thriller, historical, and science fiction series include survival as a recurring subject.

In "Gyeongseong Creature," which is set in the gloomy years of 1945, characters battle monsters, and in "Black Knight," science fiction is depicted in a dismal future. In the action movie "Song of the Bandits," people who battled against Japan between 1910 and 1945 are depicted.

The sequel to "The Glory," a Song Hye-Kyo starring revenge tale, will be released in March. The first episode of the series garnered the most attention on Netflix during the first week of January.

Additionally available are the second seasons of the monster-horror program "Sweet Home" and the gloomy military drama "D.P" (acronym for deserter pursuit).

Netflix intends to stream six Korean films this year. The first movie to be streamed will be Yeon Sang-sci-fi ho's thriller "Jung E" on Friday.

Two of them are "Believer 2," a sequel to the 2018 crime action thriller about drug gangs, and "Kill Boksoon," starring Jeon Do-yeon and Seol Kyung-gu. The principal themes of other films, including "Ballerina" and "The Match," are hacking, teacher-student competition, and retribution.

In addition, Netflix has a ton of new reality programs ready.

Both "Physical: 100" and "Nineteen to Twenty" feature extended endurance competitions with 100 extremely fit competitors. While "The Devil's Plan" is a fun mind game about surviving zombies, "Zombieverse" leverages Korean celebrities to establish the scene for zombie survival.
