What’s Korean Cinema? #3 will be about…

Hello! I forgot to mention at the end of the last episode which film should we talk about for part 3 of What’s Korean Cinema? We asked for our audience to decide between; Friend or The Chaser.

No recording date has been set, but I’ll look into contacting our friends Martin, Rufus and maybe look into a new guest…
