I'm dubious about this, most of the time it has not served the South Korean Directors well to make Hollywood movies. It sucks how under utilised actors like Lee Byung-Hun are in Hollywood productions. I feel like it's always the autuers worst work. (even if it is still somewhat decent)

e.g.

Kim Jee-Woon with The Last Stand

Park Chan-Wook with Stoker

It’s a Korean movie.

I just gave the article a read and it says "Largely Korean film" that's good news!

I was just about to say this. They usually get worldwide success with authentic local language films and shows that don't try so many other languages like English but still think including American actors and English language scenes is necessary for global success.

I have the same problem even with Europeans such as German and Norwegian filmmakers who don't realize how awkward it is when they force in English scenes. The delivery is usually not right and doesn't feel as smooth as when they use the language they're comfortable with.
