Netflix US gets three Hwang Dong-hyuk movies amid Squid Game hype

Netflix observers around the world were introduced to South Korean director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk via his vastly popular streaming series Squid Game. Maybe hoping to subsidize on the show’s ongoing success, Netflix has made three pictures from the director available to its subscribers in the US — however do n’t anticipate anything analogous to the bloody game show Netflix blazoned the recently added South Korean pictures from Hwang Dong-hyuk in a tweet moment, noting that the company’s subscribers in the US are now suitable to stream the titles. It’s unclear how numerous requests have access to the director’s pictures, of which there are three available in the US Silenced, Miss Granny, and The Fortress.

Squid Game suckers looking for another movie or show analogous to the viral megahit will be disappointed, still, as none of the three pictures are in the same kidney. Still, a couple of the pictures do revolve around the same kind of social commentary observers saw in Squid Game, exploring issues like abuse in the drama Silenced and growing in the comedy Miss Granny.

The Fortress, meanwhile, is a literal movie grounded on the 17th century Qing attack on the Joseon area. Netflix participated the campers for all three pictures on its main Twitter account, including brief descriptions of each title. Hwang Dong-hyuk also directed a number of other systems, including the movie My Father and the short film Phenomenon Mile.

All three recently added pictures are offered in their original Korean audio without dubbed options, though mottoes are available in English and multiple other languages. It’s unclear whether Netflix plans to add any other director’s other pictures to its US library at this time.
