Korean films are a great source of entertainment but they can also be a great way to learn the language, especially when they have dialogue-heavy scripts<\/a>. And you can find tons of them all over the internet, without ever logging into a Netflix account<\/a>, buying anything on Amazon Prime, paying for DVDs or using any sketchy-looking sites.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at some great options that cover hundreds of Korean movies available for free and legal viewing online.<\/p>\n

1. AsianCrush<\/a>\"AsianCrush\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

This could easily be your main stop for Korean films online. Okay, so some of these movies are only available for viewing with a premium subscription, but many of them can be watched immediately on the site.<\/p>\n

Simply filter by region and genre, and click on a movie to see if it’s available\u2014if it is, watch away! You’ll just have to put up with the occasional ad.<\/p>\n

You’ll find a huge variety of Korean films on AsianCrush, from romantic comedies to thrillers to documentaries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Midnight<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re into horror or just weirder stuff, you may want to check out\u00a0Midnight Pulp<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0a channel owned by the same distributor as AsianCrush. There’s a lot of overlap between the two sites, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking at to see if a film that isn’t available on one might be watchable on the other.<\/p>\n

Now, I could continue to stress that varying your film tastes is important. I could yell it as loudly as the guy announcing discount sushi in the food court of\u00a0my local H Mart<\/a>. But I know that some of you are here primarily for your beloved<\/strong> Park Chan-wook<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0and you’ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n

Just be aware that only some of his films are available for free viewing. It’s also worth mentioning that you can<\/em> watch\u00a0“\uacf5\ub3d9\uacbd\ube44\uad6c\uc5ed” (“Joint Security Area”<\/a><\/strong>) <\/strong>on AsianCrush\u2014it just doesn’t show up in a search of Park’s name for whatever reason.<\/p>\n

AsianCrush films come with English subtitles.<\/strong> There’s a “CC” button on the player, but often the subtitles have been added to the film itself, so they can’t necessarily be turned off.<\/p>\n

2. FilmDoo<\/a>\"FilmDoo\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

FilmDoo allows you to rent films online, but it also offers a nice selection of short films<\/strong> for free. Just scroll down in the Korean category and click “Watch for Free” to see the complete list.<\/p>\n

One gem is “Bikini Words,”<\/a><\/strong> a six-minute documentary that introduces words and phrases used in South Korean factories in the ’70s and ’80s while exposing the problematic working conditions of the times.<\/p>\n

This film manages to be surprisingly lighthearted, as it features former workers posing expressively with various costumes and objects.<\/p>\n
