Of all the achievements that South Korean cinema has accomplished over the last decade its ability to go toe-to-toe with foreign juggernauts like Hollywood and keep it’s domestic products at the top of the heap has been its most remarkable feat.

A side effect to these glories though is that a split has formed within the industry, dividing blockbusters and small indie films into majority and niche markets.
