The irony is, places like Japan and Korea grew up on classic western movies from the 80s and 90s, inspiring them to make their own. Now, they base their own films with that kind of quality, while we have decided it's better to pander and lecture than entertain. I wish them all the best.
Exactly 80s pop culture is and was huge here in Japan it caused so many insperations in both movies and manga. Only hollywood is pushing this woke nonses over plot and story. Bollywood, Korea and Japan are destroying Hollywood.
YES!! That's why I've been enjoying so much more of their media nowadays. Manga, Anime, Korean Drama AND Action. I remember an older movie, Korean, called War of the Arrows and the action and cinematography there is just CHEF'S KISS. If you ever want to watch a movie centered around archers, WOTA is absolutely a must watch.
The worst is this was done in a period of two decades!
I mean, we only really experience a slither of a slither of Eastern media in that slither, there is clear pandering.
Atleast with Japanese media how often do you follow an "everyman" with some special power that allows him to be stronger than ever one and also gain some form of harem
Yep, MHA Is literally the only good super hero manga / comic that running right now and its based of comicbook. The mangaka Horikoshi Sensei is a big fans of comic he even have lots of figure of classic superhero like flash in his house.
Japanese/Koreans: Let's entertain our viewers.
West: Let's tell our viewers that they are reprehensible troglodytes for 8 episodes.
Correction: US, not the West. The rest of the West still puts out quality work
@@moderatecanuck Uh, have you seen French movies ? I wouldn't call most of them "quality work". The Germans are quite good tho.
@@joundii3100 Belgian cinema too is good, if very uncommon
@@jonbaxter2254 The only Belgian media I know are the comics like Titin, Gaston, Marsupilami, the Smurfs etc.
The philosophical and psychological depth in Japanese and Korean media is really hardcore. The western problem is pushing propaganda. There’s a lot of subliminal messages in Asian media, but they don’t try to push anything as the “right way”, every story is just another experience.
Isn't Hollywood already destroying Hollywood?
True.
I want to like, but the answer is already reached.
Edit: looks like others already ruined the answer.
Pretty much.
@@HenshinFanatic yeah cos 69>42
@@hwaryun7042 but it's only nice, not the answer.
At this point, I'd say even Bollywood is destroying Hollywood.
Always has been.
Truuuueee!! RRR is one recent example where the whole story and visuals are BOTH entertaining and fulfilling. Usually with Hollywood movies nowadays, you have mediocre or bad writing with either good or even bad visuals.
@@RedHood001-KA If you like RRR check out Bahubali 1 and 2 if you haven't already. Both are on Netflix here in the UK. Not sure about other regions though.
@@rickymcn1 Thank you for the recommendations. Also, I guess I need to correct myself here because I remembered that RRR is a Tollywood, or Telugu Cinema, movie instead of Bollywood. The language is Telugu and not Hindi. Regardless, that movie is amazing.
you guys are the definition of cool nerds. I have a saying "I dream of a world for me and my kind", you guys reinforce that for me. You've created a space for all of us to relate to eachother.
That saying is pretty totalitarian lol
As a Korean I feel grateful just for letting people know more about Korea and praising it, and as usual, amazing videos!
When I was a kid, I watched Powerpuff Girls and Barbie movies with my older sister. When I got older around 2010 I watched My Little Pony.
I actually enjoyed watching some of the things my sister likes.
Even now I watch Sailor Moon with my sister.
My daughter and son-in-law had a Sailor Moon and Max silhouette as their wedding cake topper.
yeah, just cuz it mean for girls doesnt mean that boys cant enjoy them, I enjoy Kim possible and spies of baverly hills, barbies movies I watched nealy yearly when I was a kid
I thought the powerpuff girls was pretty entertaining, and I was already an adult when it came out.
a good story and a sense of humor can shine through in any genre sometimes.
If the show is good it's good. I for one think Powerpuff Girls was fantastic... one of my favorite childhood shows alongside Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Dexter's Laboratory, Dragonball Z and The Simpsons.
Shad he's not joking they make the production value look like a million bucks and like they actually take pride in their work!
This turned into a phenomenal commentary on the sheer destructiveness of the Western hookup culture. Great points made about how emotionally and psychological detrimental it is.
Time stamp? I want to watch the full video but I kind of am curious because I 100% agree with that notion. Hook up culture especially now in the west has destroyed how we view each other and is detrimental to relationships
@@adaptivegamer9905 I'd have to rewatch (which isn't a bad thing) to get the actual start point, but they discuss it for a good half the video.
I too agree that Korea stories have been destorying Hollywood stories
De-story-ing kinda makes sense. Hollywood produces stories that look like the same crap. K-drama stories are like a breath of fresh air. I enjoy learning about their culture and their stories are usually really nice.
Falling into you is a nice one, where a south korean and north korean fall in love and see the other's world. It's dead sweet.
I miss my family bonding time with my father watching stuff like Junkyard Wars, or River Monsters. A much simpler time.
@@theabhorrentchef7226 there are others that I can't remember the titles of but I'm sure one or two of them were about Bigfoot and other such things.
Junkyard Wars, babyyyy!
River monsters was the shit, i loved all the catfish ones
Now that I have thought about it I remember watching most extreme elimination challenge as well with and dying of laughter.
Mythbusters, survivor man, and river monsters, the best times.
i watched Vincenzo, a korean netflix original tv show, one day during quarantine while all the garbage tv shows were coming out. I had no idea about the kdrama world at all, just saw the poster and thought it looked cool. 30 happy hours later it is now my favorite piece of modern media (right there alongside arcane) and got me down the kdrama rabbit hole. Best decision I ever made. When Nathan described the void you feel after watching a kdrama, man i FELT that.
It's been a while since we saw Oz and Claudia. Wish them well !
Can't pay the talent
@@NicofTime... Don't say that ! I'm scared now :'(
@@Mrwilliam22120
Don't be.
Unless Shad or any of them say anything, presume nothing happened. Also, they have been in a bunch of videos in a row, so maybe they are on a break or dealing with life stuff.
Edit: turns out they were just sick and couldn't attend the recordings.
the coof has claimed their lives
Shad said they were sick like a week ago. I hope that is just the case and they didn't leave.
Watching Korean thrillers, you'd think Kia's vehicles are indestructible. Lol
☠️☠️☠️
There are certain memes with Korean shows. My wife and I burst out laughing whenever a show uses the "Dramatic U Turn" while the MC is driving somewhere. Also, do Koreans really drink as often and as hard as the shows let on?
@@joisey5896 also, do they really make so much noise when they eat? It's like every show has a bunch of mukbang scenes :D
@@NicolasConnault It does seem to be a Food Culture. Every mom is always telling their kids to eat.
My Name is an awesome action packed Kdrama. It also deals with a bad ass girl kicking ass really well, because.... she actually gets the shit beaten out of her when she fights guys and she doesn't win easily. It also has a really good plot and some serious twists that just made my jaw drop.
Yeah my name is a 10/10 for me
Probably best Kdrama in 2021 for me! It was so well made.
My current favorite show is "The Chosen," which is entirely crowd-funded and made outside of the Hollywood ecosystem. However, it is very high-quality and excellent.
KW really pumping out that content lately. Almost as much as Marvel phase 5 and disney
Still waiting for the ms marvel reviews.
Except real people actually watch KW. No one watches Disney these days
Hey Shad, an excellent Korean show to watch is Mr. Sunshine. It is a historical fiction show about the turn of the century. Korea also has a ton of crazy good action/war shows, might make some interesting fight scene reviews.
Currently watching alchemy of souls. Not flawless but very very interesting
Just wish there were full eng subs for Erexion, a Korean tokusatsu series that only got subs for like the first few episodes.
For those who are interested in historical/period setting Korean shows: please go find Six Flying Dragons. An absolute masterpiece of writing, production, and acting
@@KR-9.5 it's hard to find though😭😭
A show I've been wanting to watch is the monstrous 60 episode Dong Yi which details the entire life of the titular and real historical figure, but there is hardly anywhere to watch it -_- (amazon had it and then didn't)
As for men appreciating chick flicks, one can never go wrong with Violet Evergarden. That anime is perhaps one of the greatest I've seen in a decade.
Honestly, I watched Violet Evergarden up to episode 10, I think, just up to the point where she finds out the truth about the war and almost kills herself. It was pretty good, I like that episode when she helps the drunk guy that lost his daughter
I cried 3 times watching that anime when it premiered. A lot of points hit home with me, loss of family and such, and I can't bring myself to watch the movie. Not in that headspace knowing I'm about to be punched in the heart over and over again lol
@John Doe that's right, only true men do that
Definitely man. Especially episode 15 that broke me
Violet Evergarden is a such an incredible breath of fresh air with how poignant and well-crafted its story-telling is.
If you have never given K-Dramas a go, try "It's ok not to be ok". It's just an amazingly written and shot piece of entertainment, the character depth is extremely well done as well.
One of my favorites. The female lead does an amazing portrayal.
How about hollywood is destrouing hollywood?
There is a very simple explanation for this: In south korea, making movies and tv series is still about telling a good and engrossing story.
In hollywood, movie making is about peddling "the message".
I've watched kdramas for years now and I'm so happy people are starting to notice how great they are! Especially, now that Hollywood has ruined story making, it's great that kdramas are taking the helm now. Hometown Cha Cha Cha is one of the most AMAZING shows I have ever watched! 10000000% recommend it!
Another one that is very deep and drama based is Hi, Bye Mama! This one definitely pulled on my heart strings.
Bro that 'All of Us Are Dead' k-drama was one of the best Zombie shows I have ever seen, period. I really feel you guys on this one.
I kind of want Shad to do a review of twilight now just so that he can make his case
Korea has had amazing cinema for a while. Memories for Murder, Oldboy, I Saw the Devil, etc stand up against any of the best Hollywood movies of all time. The Admiral is in my opinion one of the best historical movies of all time.
Admiral Yi was the chadest chad who ever chaded, I love him.
@@jonbaxter2254 a sequel is gonna cone put but the actor was swapped for a soy version 🥲
Where can I stream The Admiral and is it the same as The Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-sin?I’ve been trying to watch it for years.
@@choreomaniac That's a show I think. The Admiral is a movie basked on the same thing I think. They are making a sequel to the movie. The actor is the same dude in Oldboy. Great film. Never seen the show.
Yi!
20:32 Straight fact!! I got hit with heat exhaustion at an amusement park and fought it for almost an hour before giving in and calling a paramedic and going to the hospital. I still think there’s a chance I could’ve just kept drinking water and power-aid and powered through it but I was by myself and new while I didn’t want to go to the hospital it was the right choice.
Great episode guys, and yes Korea and Anime is just so far ahead of the rest and it's have been so for years !
I really liked Train to Busan. Another few shows I really enjoyed on Netflix are called Black and Signal from South Korea. Luckily my Uncle let's me use his Netflix, so I don't have to pay. 🐶
Train to Busan is great, so is #Alive, a sequel/spinoff to it.
@@donthaveaname15 Yeah, I have seen that one too, it was pretty good. 🐶 Unfortunately I had a lot of time to kill in the Hospital. I hate how they keep murdering Resident Evil live action anything... it's one of my favorite game series.
Yeah, Last Train to Busan was great, in a similar vein there's We're all Dead, which is another zombie flick but set in a high schcoo. Then there's Silent Sea which is kind of a sci-fi horror.
@@Riceball01 I did see We're all Dead, believe me if it has Zombies, I have most likely seen it. I do still need to see the Silent Sea tho.
@@Riceball01 In a similar vein to Train to Busan and We're All Dead is Kingdom. It's set in some medieval period (don't know enough about Korean history to know when) and also has zombies but focuses a lot on characters and politics. It has 2 seasons and a prequel movie (which is also pretty good).
The team oz hoodie is something I never knew I needed
I have been thinking about this alot lately aswell. Glad to hear someone else thoughts on it.
Shad: make sure to give Kingdom a watch. Period horror with zombies set in the Korean medieval period.
It was quite entertaining, and I loved the costumes and weaponry.
Korean Zombies are one of the few I enjoy. Kingdom got me started and I have explored even more since. Home was quite good (not really zombies), just good horror with amazing characters
Great video! So happy you guys are finding good foreign media to enjoy. I hadn't looked into K-drama before but... Idk, you guys are making me want to check it out.
Hope Oz and Claudia feel better soon. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen them. Love the video guys
If 15 years of garbage from Hollywood lead also English speaking people to finally discover and explore the wast world of entertainment that's out there, then all this garbage served some purpose at last.
I ditched Hollywood pretty much after the effects of the writers strike became evident, i.e. when the never ending drivel of prequels, sequels, spin offs and reboots started (and yes, the MCU). Now I just came back too watch it burn, however it seems more like a pyre to me, with how many beloved franchises have been sacrificed.
I always love watching knights watch. There is nothing better than hearing straight facts. I never hear more truth anywhere else. Amazing job.
I was telling my wife about your post on needing real heroes and Robin Hood, and she said that’s why she likes Korean dramas, because guys can still be the hero.
Last couple of months it’s all iv been watching, got recommended all of us are dead, absolutely loved it, then watched sweet home whice is insane and brilliant for it, now I’m watching alchemy of souls whice is excellent, hopefully Korea keeps it coming
This discourse was really enjoyable. Had me reminiscing a few times, and reflecting on some things you guys mentioned.
Edit: Like how jokes used to be written, some of your favorite shows and the nuances behind well-written dramas. How some of these stories still have values the characters care about, motives, and different layers or stories. It reminds me of when art used to relate to life.
Perfect timing as always!
Although I'm sometimes ashamed to admit it, the K-Dramas I used to watch with my mom was pretty great
looking for a good MANLY Korean series to watch? i recommend Taxi Driver. they're a group vigilantes that hides themselves in a Taxi company that will work with you if you want vengence when the justice system failed to give you justice. NO ROMANCE, great characters, great villains, great story, and great action. interesting fact that the show is based on REAL crimes that happened in Korea.
@@ChristmasLore good ones too. watch taxi driver.
When I saw my mother watching these, I was intrigued
I still haven't gotten around to it, but it's nice to know other people appreciate good writing no matter the source
My first Korean Drama was on Netflix called The Great Doctor aka Faith. From then on I was hooked. Some notables for me are Strong Girl Bong-Soon, The Tunnel, Bad Guys, Black, Abyss, and Stranger.
One of the things I really like about Korean dramas is their mixture of different genres in the same show. As an example Strong Girl Bong-Soon has Super-hero Action, Comedy, Romance and Crime Drama.
Bong soon is such a likeable protagonist. If only modern Hollywood made their “strong” female characters half as likeable…
@@mikeq6197 It doesn't hurt that Park Bo-Young is super cute and also plays one of the main characters in Abyss.
@@RickF7666 Yeah, she’s adorable. Might have to check out Abyss.
I too had to read Pride and Prejudice for school. I had the exact same revelation. I always found that well written drama doesn't have drama for the sake it, but fosters it naturally through good story telling.
Lol. thanks guys, such a relatable video! I too have only a Netflix account for K-drama! And a Viki account. As an European I am so fed up with Hollywood series/films.
Korea provides old school top tier Entertainment, wether it's action, historical drama, comedy, mystery, art house, you name it. And yes, use subtitles 😀
Got super pumped you mentioned Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, it was fantastic. Completely touching and wholesome. Give Because This Is My First Life a shot too
YESSS SHAD. TWILIGHT IS GREAT!!!!!!
I 100% agree! The Admiral: Roaring Currents, Masquerade (2012), My Name TV Show.... all excellent.
I was hoping you guys would talk about k dramas after hearing Nathan mention them in a previous video. My family watches them all the time. One you both may enjoy is Gu Family Book, which stars Bae Suzy from Start Up, and has a historical setting with action and swordplay.
Keep standing firm
My man's in the white tabard there just made me thankful AF that I had a brother and inherited his badass 1980s GI Joe's.
Hey all stay safe ty again for the vid.
It is rather nice to see Korea get tons of different content that we can enjoy.
Talk about old TV show, anyone remember Australia kid show/drama called Alana, The Girl From Tomorrow in early 90's?
The dialog that I still remember from that show is:
"What are you doing" - girl
"Washing my clothes" - Alana, smiling
"IN A MICROWAVE?" - girl
I'm distracted by the two books on the shelf above Shad's head next to the Lamp.
I am a woman, aged past 40, and my mother and I love Pride and Prejudice. We also get together to watch Reacher. We both like classic musicals. We agree that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
You need to watch Kingdom on Netflix, it has such an outstanding balance between political thriller and the zombie genre. I would like to hear a review from you Shad and the crew.
My wife and I enjoy Korean dramas and comedies. Once you get used to reading subtitles, it's not so bad. Wholesome entertainment with high production values. We no longer even consider watching American TV ...to us it doesn't even exist anymore.
How did you get into Korean dramas? I couldn't get my ex-boyfriend into it though he only watched it with me out of courtesy.
@@tvu24 My wife is Chinese and some of her friends recommended some shows. And I, obviously, am willing to try new things.
I would love to see a video of Shad defending Twilight.
What Shad said Jane Austen's characters feeling so authentic and real reminds of when another CZcamsr was watching Tommy Wiseau's "The Room," and she asked "Are these humans?"
Great video, really enjoyed.
Watched a Korean sci-fi called "Space Sweepers" a few months ago, and it was a blast, with a good ending and characters that develop for the better. Big breath of fresh air.
Wah! The Scarlet Pimpernel is AMAZING! I just finished listening to the audio book. Whether you like the films, the musical, or the books, the story is simply amazing.
I found the humor in the latest Top Gun movie was wonderful!
Worf in "Qpid" - Sir I protest, I am not a merry man.
One of the million reasons I won’t return to a western country. I’ll consider it if things can go back to normal from the clown world, but it doesn’t seem like the pendulum will swing back anytime soon.
Most of these over seas studios don’t have mandates on creativity where they are forced to put in political propaganda they don’t actually believe in for brownie points. Which is why their work is better than a lot of Hollywood productions.
I got super into a period K-drama called "Dae Jang Geum". I was shocked at how much I got invested in it. The Koreans make great period dramas actually.
Korea, China, and Japan! They're really good at showing and not telling! If any of you have time, The Untamed on Netflix is a really good show!
My father loves manly stuff like working with wood and watching jason bourne etc, BUT if you put on a period drama, be carefull not to stand in the way between him and the tv😂
(he rarely ever gets mad, but i finished a jane austen movie at my own and he got all mad at me)
THANK YOU! This is how I've always viewed hollweird and get annoyed when I watch combat action movies that make no sense to real world combat.
This is why we need more and more people, who are fed up with the Hollywood Hivemind, to take on projects of their own. Whether that's movies, series, comics, anime, video games, whatever. We fight back by creating our own entertainment and promoting alternatives, Rippaverse for example, where and when possible.
As much as I want independent media to grow, the main problem is that the people with all the money are of the Hollywood scum.
Vincenzo is definitely one of the few, if not the only, K-drama in recent years that I love. I've seen it enough at this point that I don't need to read the subtitles.
Guys, check these Korean thrillers out. I'm pretty sure you'll like them:
1. My Name
2. Vagabond
3. Strangers From Hell
It should be known that Eastern writing is fundamentally different from Western writing. Western writing is almost always built upon a central conflict that must be resolved. Eastern writing isn't, and is instead about taking the audience along with what happens.
This is why Japan can have so many slice-of-life franchises where there is no conflict to be had (ARIA, Yotsuba&!, Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, Nichijou, etc.), or why you can have so many franchises that have the same general premise yet each have their own individual flavor (Isekai in general).
Instead of focusing on a conflict that must be resolved, the Eastern formula is: Premise + Characters = Let's find out!
Anime is destroying Hollywood. It will continue moving forward until all its enemies are destroyed. TATAKAE!
Until normies latch onto it like they did Marvel.
Being enjoying South Korean shows for past few years and only reason why I still have Netflix Subscription. Some of my favourite shows Arthdal Chronicles, My Holo Love, My Name, Kingdom, Hwarang, It's ok not to be ok, Goedam, Descendants of the Sun...
What timing! I just discovered the wonders of kdrama a few weeks ago. Some of them are just soooo good. 🥺
- have you seen a movie where the main character fucks his food?
- do you mean American pie?
- no, I mean Twilight.
I like the Korean zombie TV show called, All of us are dead. It’s not the best maybe because it has high school drama that’s a bit over the top, but the zombie action I found entertaining. And I dunno but I actually liked the characters too.
It’s getting a second season and I unironically am looking forward to it.
teenage pregnancies have actually gone down in the last 30 years in America
Shad Sir Nate gets MACHICULATIONS points for this one!
The King Ethernal Monarch, another jewel. Gold.
Welp, there it is. Nathan and soon Shad will enter the "watches K-Drama because my wife likes it" phase.
I watched Hometown Cha Cha Cha alone as a bachelor and it was amazing.
Train To Busan and All Of Us Are Dead are GOLD.
Sorry for so many comments this time, this is an amazing topic that I never thought y'all would pick up, I mentioned it eather here or on shadiversity once before last year I think and once on cinematherapy channel once but no one ever commented back on it so I thought nether set of channels was interested.
If you like horror, good korean horror dramas are:
Kingdom
Sweet home
Strangers from hell
All of us are dead
Hellbound
Stranger and Attorney Woo are my current Netflix favorites. I'd love to rewatch Full House, Pasta, and Coffee Prince.
Stranger is one of my favourite dramas with Bae Doona's character being one of the better/memorable female leads.
Currently watching a kdrama called Alchemy of Souls and loving it. The action, drama, comedy, and romance are all well done. It's just pure fun, and the hubby enjoys it too. Definitely planning on watching more similar things. "Entertain me first, and then I'll consider listening to you on whatever your message is" is the rule I go by.
Down with Hollywood and up with good media!
Seven episodes to hold hands but somehow not a single second wasted in the building of the relationship and the moments of both romantic tension and the moments of romantic comedy are masterworks that are perfectly timed and sometimes are used as a leveling course in the load baring wall of the round tower that is the main story.
Train to buson and kingdom was finally thr zombie shows that should have been. All these years they've been stymied by lack of imagination but now Korea owns zombies
I have had the same discovery of Indian movies and shows.
Kingdom is one of the best zombie tv series to come out. It was excellent, even the spinoff was good, and explained the main story of the series.
*Edit: I would say that Japan and Korea are still very conservative societies, where social and gender norms are absolute. These are cultures that have not been infected by the progressive disease, the West has been stewing in. This is why movies and TV series are more appealing from these countries.
It's not that they are very conservative, since they have some of the most progressive media, it's that theirs progressiveness is about actual progress the society, it adds on the foundations of the already existing society, the western or western inspired progressiveness is the opposite, it wants to tears down the centuries of the societal evolution and replace it with some random "ideal", they are not progressive, they are regressive
Yup, so true. It forces the writers to focus on substance and engaging stories instead of preaching at the viewers.
“All of us are dead” really good Korean zombie tv show on Netflix
Keep up the good work.
I've only seen one movie from Korea I really liked it. It was from Netflix and was about a dude in a apartment building during a zombie attack. It was a actually original zombie movie. They are a rare thing.
That movie was really good. If you enjoyed that, I would reccomed We are All Dead and Sweet Home.
