Darcy’s Korean Film Page for reviews and top-whatever lists. If you live in a big city with a significant Korean population (Los Angeles or Chicago, for example) you can probably find video rentals in the Korean neighborhoods. Be careful – although most DVDs probably will have English subtitles, VHS tapes almost certainly won’t and VCDs may not. If you can’t find any rentals, you can order Korean DVDs from Yesasia or DVDAsian. Mr Kwang also carries a small stock of Korean DVDs. You can find them on Ebay too, but prices are about the same, except for the (generally rather bad) pirated editions from China and Hong Kong. Prices for decent (and legal) transfers vary from around $8 for VCDs (most computers can play them with the right software, and many newer DVD players can too) to $15 – $30 for DVDs. The lower end of the DVD price range is usually “export editions” from Hong Kong. The ones that I’ve gotten haven’t been quite as sharp as the Korean editions, and the colors aren’t as true.
