Books, blog and other blather
Just a little fyi, there are still a few CGV theaters showing the latest big hit, Ode to My Father, with English subtitles. CGV’s website is a bit tough to negotiate for non-Korean speakers, so, if you’d like to check out the fifth-biggest Korean movie of all time:
CGV Yeouido
CGV Yongsan
CGV Shinchon Artreon
