Asian movies are unusual, stunning, often weird, and most of the time highly controversial. But even the wildest Asian movies are always filled with exquisite elegance and style that is so evident in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. What can we say, Asian movies aren’t for everyone, but we do love them nonetheless. Here we present you 10 new Asian movies that will blow your mind in 2018.
The Bold, The Corrupt, and The Beautiful
The name might seem quite self-explanatory, but you should understand that this Yang Ya-che movie is all about a powerful Taiwanese mafiosa at the head of an all-female family. To say that the movie is filled with passion, love, betrayal, and more emotions than you can fathom would be an understatement! While Yang Ya-che plays with the all-too-familiar male tropes of The Bold, The Corrupt, and The Beautiful, you will be enjoying a fresh take on all the usual plot twists of love affairs, murders, and intrigues.
Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds
We’re all curious about what happens in the Afterlife, and this movie is exactly about that. Fire-fighter Ja-hong dies during one of his calls and suddenly finds himself in the Afterlife. Greeted by three of his guardians, he’s about to undergo seven trials during 49 days, meet gods, go back in time to investigate his relationships with family members, and solve the mystery of the Vengeful Spirit that is attacking the world of the living. The movie is exactly what it sounds like – utterly exciting!
Bad Genius
Being a genius doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re a good person. And even if you’re good, in this world of money, corruption, and temptations – how long can you survive without doing anything questionable? Lynn is a young genius who earns money by helping others cheat on tests in high school. She’s faced with a new proposal to do the biggest cheat of a lifetime for 1 million baht and go to Sydney to take the International STIC exam known for its difficulty. The exam is taken at the same time all over the world, but due to time difference she can take an exam in Sydney and then send the answers back to Thailand. Can she and her friends do it? The task is more dangerous than everyone thought!
Crazy Rich Asians
Rachel Chu, an economics teacher from New York, is faced with the challenge of a lifetime when she follows her boyfriend Nick to Singapore to his best friend’s wedding only to find out that he’s impossibly rich. That doesn’t seem like too big of a problem, right? But actually it’s much more than that! Rachel is faced with criticism and all kinds of ironic, funny, dramatic, and downright evil situations involving Nick’s family members and all those single women that were dreaming to be with the guy. Feeling lost in the upscale games of rich and famous, Rachel is learning more about herself and people than she thought possible.
