Netflix is having a big year for Korean-language content already. Within the last seven months, the streamer dropped the final two seasons of Squid Game, which is one of the biggest shows. Though some audiences did not like these installments as much as previous versions, both seasons performed well on the platform.

Earlier this year, Netflix announced plans for 29 K-dramas and movies in 2025. This solidified the platform’s growing push towards international content, especially as an increasingly important worldwide distributor of Korean-language content.

Several of these тιтles have already been huge hits on Netflix. This includes TV series such as When Life Gives You Tangerines and Weak Hero Class 2. As the company continues Q3 and heads into Q4, they have time to continue to grow viewership with these тιтles.

One of Netflix’s newest Korean-language releases takes the feature film format. It will have some familiar faces to many, featuring two actors from Squid Game seasons 2 and 3. As this movie continues its reign on Netflix, it is great viewing for those who enjoyed a key Oscar winner.

Wall To Wall Is The Perfect Movie For Those Who Enjoyed Parasite

The Netflix Thriller Touches On Similar Themes

Wall to Wall was released on Netflix on July 18, 2025. It features Squid Game‘s Kang Ha-neul (Dae-Ho in Squid Game) as well as Kang Ae-sim. Kang Ha-neul plays Woo-seong, a young man who finally saves up enough money to buy an apartment, only to be met with strange noises and financial ruin.

The Netflix thriller has some things in common with the 2019 Bong Joon Ho film Parasite. In that movie, which has an impressive 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, the lower-class Kim family gets themselves in deep when they begin working for the uber-wealthy Park family. The film was an international sensation and went on to win a historic Best Picture.

While the actual plots are fairly distinct, Wall to Wall and Parasite touch on similar themes. Both films see their lead characters in a state of financial desтιтution. Said status impacts them and limits their feelings of success and fulfillment, even when they get a taste of what it is like to have nice things.

Parasite fans will also appreciate the thriller components of Wall to Wall. Whereas Bong’s film takes on a lighter tone in some moments of dark comedy, however, Wall to Wall stays intense throughout its entirety. Still, this new Korean thriller is the perfect stand-in for Parasite for those who appreciated the Oscar-winning drama and socially conscious themes.
