What To Watch If You Were Impressed By The Actors Of Award-Winning Film "Parasite"
“Parasite” made great waves earlier this year as the first ever Korean film to win the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival. The film has since won big at various other awards ceremonies including the Blue Dragon Awards and the Sydney Film Festival, and it is the highest grossing foreign-language film in the United States this year. It was recently also announced that “Parasite” racked up three Golden Globe nominations.
An important contributor to the drama’s success is undoubtedly the talented cast, which includes skilled actors such as Lee Sun Gyun, Jo Yeo Jeong, Choi Woo Shik, Park So Dam, and Song Kang Ho.

King Sejong dreams of sparking an intellectual revolution, and the film follows his struggles of creating the script that ultimately becomes Hangeul, the modern Korean alphabet.
