This year is packed with new films across various genres and generations, so you might face choice paralysis. Especially the buzz-worthy films like ‘Boss’, ‘No Choice’, and ‘One Battle After Another’ are grabbing the audience’s attention. So, let’s take a closer look at them one by one!

Box Office No. 1: ‘Boss’ 👑

Wow… this movie is a massive hit! It recorded the top spot at the Chuseok box office with 450,000 viewers in its opening week. (I was one of them… heh) This film, which masterfully blends action and drama, has been hailed as a new milestone for Korean gangster films. The protagonist’s charismatic performance is truly outstanding!

Many of you who watched this movie probably shouted, “Boss, I’ll follow you too!” right? 😅 (It’s not just me, right?)

The Global Sensation: ‘No Choice’ 🌍

Featuring the dream pairing of Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin, this film is indeed an undeniable masterpiece! (You get the title pun, right? hehe) The story revolves around a laid-off employee fighting to protect his family, and it has already gained global attention by being invited to prestigious film festivals such as Venice, Busan, Toronto, and New York.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, this movie is especially popular with family audiences. It features the unique dazzling action and a heartfelt story typical of Hollywood films. It’s a must-watch for families with kids!
