Little Forest made our year end “Best Korean Movies of 2018” list! Check out the video here!

Our favorite young actress Kim Tae-ri (The Handmaiden, 2016; 1987, 2017) returns to star in a new melodrama based on a popular manga series of the same name from the director of Waikiki Brothers (2001) and Forever the Moment (2007). Director Yim Soon-rye is one of the few highly respected female filmmakers and screenwriters who made a strong presence during the Korean new wave. Ryu Jun-yeol is probably most known from his breakout role in the hit drama Reply 1988 and veteran actress Moon So-ri (Oasis, 2002; Forever the Moment, 2007) is one of Koreas most talented actors. We are expecting an above average performance at the box office for this one.
