Watched The Protector with Tony Jaa yesterday. If you're into action movies, you should really check it out.

I used to watch action-packed Chinese and Thai movies while growing up. I did enjoy the fighting scenes a lot.

Parasite was so good! South Korean films are really up there in quality. Director Bong Joon-ho is their mostly widely acclaimed worldwide, he even directed an American style film, Snowpiercer, that is definitely worth a watch if your into future dystopia fiction.

The only Asian series I watched was Squid Game just because everyone was watching it and I couldn't understand the memes.

Yes. I discovered this YouTube channel that shows Korean drama. It's called KBS (channel or drama) I'm not really sure. But I've watched three movies, I'm on my fourth movie. It's called You are the best starring IU. The only thing I don't like about KBS movies is that they are very long and can be tiring.

I do watch Asian movies and series. I recently finished Alchemy of souls. It was amazing. I plan to start another one soon. I'll take one from the comments

Hotel Del Luna is great if you like IU or just enjoy quality shows in general.

Of course! They are among the best. My favourites are Indian movies and K-drama.

Speaking of Thai movies reminds me of ”Naked Weapon,” though there was more of English in it than Cantonese. Asians are really skilled at making movies. K-dramas were my favourite, but along the way, I also developed a thing for Bollywood.
