In each chapter they track a different way that South Korean filmmakers have adapted material from foreign sources, resulting in everything from the Manchurian Western to \u003ci\u003eThe Host\u003c\/i\u003e’s reinvention of the Godzilla mythos. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSpanning a wide range of genres, the book introduces readers to classics from the 1950s and 1960s Golden Age of South Korean cinema, while offering fresh perspectives on recent favorites like \u003ci\u003eOldboy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThirst\u003c\/i\u003e.
