Korea has never been a stranger to the horror genre, but it seems that in recent decades the country has been producing some high-quality horror movies and TV shows that deserve far larger audiences. While many audiences associate horror with visceral thrills that emphasize graphic violence and explicit supernatural elements, Korean horror is often typified by more character-driven stories, explorations of deeper themes, and pointed social commentary. There also tends to be a Korean horror film or TV show for any pop culture fan as there's quite a bit of genre mixing, from "intense crime horror" to "lighthearted romantic comedy horror" to "whimsical fantasy horror" and everything in between.
Unfortunately, there aren't very many Korean horror shows that are easily available in the U.S. yet, but the massive success of the Netflix Korean series "Squid Game" could hopefully spark international interest in Korean shows that dive into darker and more suspenseful subjects.

[Our thanks to Charles Webb for the following review.]
It takes a bold actress to take a part like the one starlet Hyo-jin Kong inhabits in the wonderful Crush and Blush. It’s not just an “ugly” role because the actress is barely recognizable under makeup and a series of ticks and twitches. Her character Mi-sook Yang is profoundly unattractive because she has transformed herself over the years into a person who is so ground down by failure and disappointment that she insists to the world that being number 1 (and therefore success) is for suckers. And still, I wanted to spend a couple of hours with this character.
