Just like every month, Hulu is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the 10 new movies and TV shows coming to Hulu in November 2024.

Gangnam B-Side Season 1 (November 6)

Gangnam B-Side is an action mystery crime thriller drama series directed by Park Noo Ri from a screenplay by Jo Won Gyu. The Disney+ series is set in Gangnam, Seoul and it revolves around the disappearance of a young woman who had information about a series of disappearances.

Jason Kim worked as an interpreter in the Korean Air Force before joining Korea’s movie distribution company, Showbox. Before that, he studied international politics at Georgetown University in the United States. Making films had always been his passion which resulted in him making “Goodbye My Sunshine” (2010) and “Koala” (2013). However, with the action comedy, “Midnight Runners” (2017) starring Park Seo-joon, he finally scored a huge hit in Korea. “The Divine Fury” (2019), a horror thriller, was a local box office failure. In 2023, Kim then moved on to do the Netflix action drama TV series “Bloodhounds”.

The Netflix movie Officer Black Belt might seem like it’s an action comedy about martial arts, like other films in the genre like Kung-Fu Panda or The Karate Kid, but it’s actually a crime thriller about police officers in Seoul which follows Police Officer Kim Sun Min and Martial Arts Officer Jung-do-ssi as they team up to take down dangerous criminals across the city. In the cast and character guide of Officer Black Belt, I am going to explore the skin of these two officers and a whole bunch of other folks with whom they came in contact throughout the film.

Jung-do-ssi

Played by Kim Woo Bin, Jung-do seemed like a fun and carefree guy who loved to hang out with his friends, play video games, practice judo, and deliver food around the neighborhood, whenever he got the time. For Jung-do, life was simple, and he...

In Officer Black Belt, a ninth-degree martial artist stumbles upon a career in law enforcement after he saves an officer from a fight with a criminal on parole. The action-comedy film stars Kim Woo-bin as a third-degree black belt in judo, tae kwon do, and kendo, who teams up with a probation officer (Kim Sung-kyun) to keep an eye on parolees. What ensues is some fancy footwork and a hefty serving of justice. For more shows about whooping butt for all the right reasons (mostly), read on. ...

I’ve been a massive fan of Kim Woo-Bin since The Heirs way back when. Sure, we all love a good bad boy, but soon I discovered his film Twenty, which completely shattered that image and made him one of the top Korean actors in my eyes back in the day (I’m talking a decade ago). The model-turned-actor is a gem, especially when playing roles that are more rooted and, for the lack of a better word, kind. And I think that’s the whole basis of Officer Black Belt. The film opens with a man in his mid-late twenties expressing his love for sports and how it’s the one thing that makes him truly happy. So it seems a bit odd when we realize that though he’s basically got the Midas touch when it comes to any sport he plays, his regular job is delivering chicken for his dad’s shop.

In this Korean action comedy, a prodigy in judo, tae kwon do, and kendo, with an instinctive drive to help those in need, becomes the ultimate crime fighter after being hired by the local police department to monitor wayward criminals — and protect a fellow probation officer. Directed by Jason Kim (Bloodhounds), aka Kim Joo-hwan,Officer Black Belt stars Kim Woo-bin, Kim Sung-kyun, and Lee Hyun-geol.

Happy-go-lucky Jeong-do (Kim Woo-bin) is a fried chicken delivery guy who loves to game nonstop. He also knows how to fight: He holds third-degree black belts in tae kwon do, judo, and kendo — making him a ninth-degree martial artist. In any and every sparring match, Jeong-do crushes his opponents with ease. One day while coming home from work, he witnesses someone wearing an ankle monitor brawling with a police officer. Jeong-do steps...

Beloved game creator Hideo Kojima has been an influential figure in the gaming industry, as the brain behind the celebrated Metal Gear franchise. In addition to games, he is an ardent fan of other art forms and has been highly popular in recent times for his reviews of films and shows that he gets to watch.

Kojima has a particular formula he follows to convey his feelings about a project he watches. A lengthy post would mean that he extremely loved the film or show and a one-word review meant that he was not impressed by what he saw. It seems an acclaimed Korean show called Moving has caught his eye and he can’t stop raving about it as he praised several elements in it on X.

Right from his debut feature “Runaway” in 1995, Kim Sung-su has established two things vehemently: he can work with big stars and he can work on a big budget quite effectively. Starting with a then-young but nonetheless impressive Lee Byung-hun, he has since gone on to work with the likes of Lee Jung-jae, Jung Woo-sung, Hwang Jung-min and even Zhang Ziyi in a rare Korean production appearance. Since his last two works, he has also established that he is also adept at working with an ensemble cast, with both “The Flu” and the highly impressive “Asura: The City of Madness” having an extensive and impressive cast-list. Seven years since “Asura: The City of Madness”, Kim returns to the big screen and with a couple actors he has worked with for “12.12: The Day”, a political thriller based on recent Korean history.

Moving – Episode Guide (When are the Episodes Coming Out?) Credit – Disney+

Moving doesn’t have a very easy episode guide as Disney+ has decided to release the episode in a complicated way.

"It's nice to meet you, monster. I'm a monster, too." Oh, wow. Hulu has revealed an official US trailer with English subtitles for a Korean superpowers series called Moving.

The Netflix original D.P. was a super hit back in 2021, and the way it ended had everyone expecting a second season soon enough. Our wait is finally over, and the next season is just around the corner, sporting more emotional damage while still being fun for viewers. The series focuses on the mandatory military service of South Korean men for about two years before they turn 30. Particularly the hardship that the boys and men go through, the hierarchy system, and the bullying that happens within the military that reaches atrocious levels. Our main characters are a part of the D.P. (Deserter pursuit) department of the military, which happens to be the unit that apprehends deserters and brings them back. Season 1 explores the reasons the men choose to desert. The show is based on the webtoon D.P. Gaeui Nal, which translates to D.P. Dog Days, written by Kim Bo-Tong.

Torrential rain could not dampen spirits at the opening ceremony.

Old Boy star Choi Min Sik and Beau Is Afraid director Ari Aster helped open the 27th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (Bifan) in South Korea this evening (June 29), where Netflix K-drama D.P. received the Series Film Award.

Leading Korean actor Choi, who is also known for roles in I Saw the Devil, Shiri, Luc Besson’s Lucy and box office record holder The Admiral: Roaring Currents, is being feted with screenings of 12 features selected by the actor himself.

“Seoul Vibe”, the newest film directed by Moon Hyun-sung (whose previous works include 2012 period sports drama “As One” and 2017 even more period crime-mystery “The King’s Case Note”), certainly promises a lot of fun. It is a period piece set in the politically interesting times in recent history, and an action comedy with a lot of car chases. Regarding those things, it is a bit of pity that it came to us via Netflix, meaning only on the small screens, since a movie theatre feels like a natural setting for watching such a flick.

We meet our protagonists, Dong-wook and Joon-gi (Ong Seong-wu) at the end of their mission in Saudi Arabia where they were tasked by their Korean boss with transporting guns and ammo across the desert in the back of a pick-up truck.

He later goes against all odds to dominate Bogota’s black market. The picture also stars Lee Hee-jun (“The Drug King”) and was directed by Kim Seong-je (“The Unfair”).

It is also pitching “Don’t Buy The Seller,” a thriller directed by Kim Hee-gon (“Fengshui”) that might make one rethink the purchase of second-hand items via online apps. Shin Hae-sun plays the protagonist who reports the...
