As the summer heat intensifies and the holidays approach, there’s no better way to escape the rising temperatures than by heading to the cool comfort of a movie theater. With the upcoming Korean films, this holiday season won’t be boring.
For Novel’s Readers
One of the most eagerly awaited films this summer is The Only Reader’s Perspective, scheduled for release on July 23. Based on the immensely popular web novel Omniscient Reader’s Perspective, the film takes audiences on a gripping journey as the boundaries between fiction and reality blur.
The story follows the protagonist, played by Ahn Hyo-seop, who wakes up to find himself living in a world that mirrors the narrative of a long-running novel he has been reading for years. The twist? He’s the only one who knows how the story ends, and his knowledge becomes both a weapon and a burden.
This Is What It Really Means When You Wear Black, According to Experts
The Devil Moved In
For audiences looking for something with a bit of humor and the supernatural, The Devil Moved In, releasing on August 13, is the perfect choice. This film marks the reunion of director Lee Sang-geun and actress Im Yoon-ah, who previously worked together on the highly successful Exit.
The story centers around a man, played by Ahn Bo-hyun, who is forced to watch over his eccentric neighbor, a woman named Seon-ji, played by Im Yoon-ah. However, there’s a catch: Seon-ji isn’t just any ordinary neighbor—she’s a devil. The film combines elements of horror with comedic moments, creating an engaging blend of suspense and humor.
Zombie Daughter
If you prefer a thrilling yet heartfelt movie experience, Zombie Daughter is the perfect summer pick. Releasing on July 30, this film is adapted from a popular webtoon and brings a unique twist to the zombie genre.
The story revolves around a father, portrayed by Jo Jung-seok, who must protect his daughter, who has inexplicably turned into a zombie. However, the film adds an emotional layer to the usual zombie drama by focusing on the father’s desperate attempt to keep her condition a secret from the outside world.
