Are these releases in Korea or elsewhere?

crystal_sun · 06-04-2008, 08:26 AM

dvdfromkorea.com, yesasia.com, and hkflix.com are my three top choices to get movies from Korea. Both companies are highly recommended.

Good news. Pick both up when released~!

Great news, I love Taegukgi!! But will these play on US Blu-ray players? I had thought Korea was in another region, that would really suck if it did since I buy a lot of Korean DVD movies.

Thanks for those sites, the only site I order Korean movies is from YesAsia.com... DVDFromKorea.com looks like a descent site, already have those new Blu-ray movies listed already. I definitely will be buying Taegukgi and Dongmakgol (i haven't seen it but trailer looks good).

I would think Korea will start picking up Blu-ray pretty fast since they are known to be a very modern country with all the latest gadgets... I have just started buying Korean movies on DVD and there are so many that I like, I always wish it was Blu-ray though.

awesome, I loved Taegukgi. My wife is in Korea right now. I'll have to have her pick up a copy. I'm a bachelor for 1 month, Rock Band party is this Saturday.

SP@Z. · 06-05-2008, 10:58 PM

What about "A Bittersweet Life".. That was like the best Korean film, IMO.
I hope it releases in blu-ray!

Korea is Region A too so there should be no issues with it playing on US players.

Received both today.

PROBLEM:

Taegukgi has been incorrectly encoded as 1080i?

Anybody have this issue?

Welcome to Dongmakgol plays back fine on my Bravia as 1080/24p.

ryoohki · 07-01-2008, 01:44 PM

Btw those disc are REgion free as per :

http://www.asianblurayguide.com/

The Region 2 DVD of Taek is nice but not super + it's Dolby Digital. I don't know if it's true but this one supposed to be DTS HD MA (written on the box)

cardiac161 · 07-01-2008, 06:08 PM

Does anyone who actually have the Taegukgi Blu ray and can read Korean clarify something for me?

At the back of the cover, there are two runtimes: 148 min & 151 min. I know the film itself is 148 mins but what is the 151 for? Unless I'm mistaken, there are no special features or documentaries except for the commentaries & trailers.

Thanks so much!!!

JJ · 07-01-2008, 11:52 PM

WOAH! Really?! Taegukgi is mine, gonna have to import this bad boy. One of my favorite foreign war films.

Does anybody have any info as to the PQ/SQ of it?

Doubleedit: Yesasia.com lists it as 1080i and DTS-HD and DD5.1...damn, I need more info!

From what I can see, there is only one version of the film.

The only special feature is a trailer for the movie in 480p.

Back cover says FULL HD but it doesn't seem to be.

PQ is actually really good IMO. It's minimum 4 star, even though it's 1080i.

SQ is excellent!

I've got a region B PS3 and Taegukgi plays fine. The PQ and AQ is very good (4 out of 5 overall)
