In the wake of the increasing popularity of South Korean cinema around the world, Netflix has responded by including a list of newly produced S. Korean films, including its first Korean animated film. Netflix could no longer ignore the popularity of S. Korean films and its viewers wanting more for next year decided to start adding more to their list of available films.

Some of the new films coming up are:

In the sci-fi disaster genre, "The Great Flood" promises a high-stakes survival story set on Earth's final day. Directed by Kim Byung-woo, who previously helmed "The Terror, Live" and "Take Point," the film features Kim Da-mi and Park Hae-soo as they battle to save a child amidst a global deluge.

Breaking new ground for Netflix, "Lost in Starlight" marks the platform's debut Korean animated feature. Directed by Han Ji-won, this space romance features the voice talents of Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung. The story follows an astronaut selected for a journey to Mars, intertwining themes of family, love, and interplanetary exploration.

Shifting gears to youth-oriented content, "Love Untangled," directed by Namkoong Sun, transports audiences back to 1998. Starring Gong Myoung, Shin Eun-soo, Cha Woo-min, Youn Sang-hyun and Kang Mi-na, the film explores themes of first love and friendship, centered around a high school student's quest to confess her feelings to a popular classmate.

The action-packed "Mantis" (working title) expands the universe established in "Kill Boksoon," following an assassin's return to a chaotic industry. The film marks Lee Tae-sung's directorial debut and is co-written by Byun Sung-hyun, promising to deliver intense action sequences and complex character dynamics.

"Hellbound" collaborators Yeon Sang-ho and Choi Gyu-seok reunite for "Revelations," a thriller that intertwines faith and crime.
