This year’s Lunar New Year holidays see a diverse array of Korean films arriving at home screens, catering to audiences with busy schedules who may not have the chance to visit theaters or subscribe to streaming services. Notable titles include 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint', which will premiere on TV through MBC on January 16, and is based on a popular web novel that has garnered over 300 million views globally. The film follows the unique protagonist, Kim Dokja, who, feeling disappointed with the story's conclusion, inadvertently enters a world that mirrors the novel's plot, wherein he uses his knowledge to combat the incoming monsters.

In addition to fantasy and adventure genres, family-friendly films are also part of the lineup, like the comedy ‘Zombie Daughter’, airing on SBS on January 18. The film, which showcases a father's struggle to save his daughter infected by a zombie virus, proves to be a hit as it drew over 5 million viewers within a month of its cinema release. Another engaging film, ‘Victory’, features acclaimed actor Song Kang-ho as a struggling volleyball coach and will be available on January 17, highlighting themes of perseverance and familial bonds in the face of adversity.

This lineup not only aims to entertain but also to provide viewers an opportunity to connect with the themes of family, sacrifice, and hope through these unique storytelling mediums during a festive time. Such accessibility of popular films at home reflects a shift in viewing habits, allowing audiences to enjoy content conveniently while fostering discussions among family members about the portrayed narratives.
