Korean Blu-Rays - Where are they?
Hi,
Has anyone heard of any more Blu-Rays in the pipeline for South Korea? The DVDs originating there have always been of excellent quality and reasonably priced, so I had high hopes for Korean Blu-Rays.
But after an inital strong showing (Welcome to Dong Mak Gol was fantastic), they've dried up it seems.
Sad.Any film shot on film will benefit from HD -

I agree, there are so many great Korean films that need to come to Blu-ray. Sad that we haven't seen more yet.

I guess Blu-ray hasn't made a big splash in Korea so far. I too would like to see much more Korean films on BD. There are some more Korean movies on BD in Europe though.
Also the one Korean Web store that I started to use and like seemed to disappear altogether...
Would be nice to get for example a lot of Kim Ki Duk movies in HD. I managed to record "Time" from Japanese HDTV but since there are only Japanese subs it's a bit difficult to follow. -

I only want to see Taeguki (if I spelled that correctly) aka brotherhood of war cos I thought that was great and in HD would be better too! I know sensasian.com sells it but you have to pay shipping on it unlike the HK movies they sell which is free shipping.

Well there is one in Taiwan if you're into comedy. They have it at JSDVD "A Tale Of Legendary Libido." I ordered it last week. Hopefully they ship it this week.

as far as i know, there is only welcome to dongmakgol,taegukgi,the host,oldboy,and a korean documentary series that is on blu-ray from korea. i really wish they would at the very very least squeeze out JSA (joint security area) and A Bittersweet Life on blu-ray before they finally throw in the towel. if there were ever any korean films that deserved blu-ray treatment, it would be those 2. oh, and A Tale of Two Sisters as well.
