It's amazing how we can watch so many shows these days on online streaming platforms. As a Hallyu tita, it was pretty hard back then to look for legal sites where you can binge-watch Korean movies. We often end up buying CDs ~somewhere~ (with subs that are not simultaneous with the actor's voice, LOL) or asking a friend to share their *copy* via Bluetooth. Tough times, I know.
Now, we can watch the Korean films we've been dying to see from 2005 to 2014 legally! We know you're itching to stream these, too, so we rounded up 13 well-loved classics and where you can watch them. Enjoy the weekend!
