I am so embarrassed to confess but I simply tried to find every excuse not to watch any Korean movie or such popular drama series through these many years.
Indeed, I feel terribly guilty on my prejudice to Korean stuff especially 연속극 for some reason I by myself can't explain, and I am so reluctant or rather afraid to watching this new Korean movie 미나리 as well, Dr. Ohn kindly uploaded for us. Perhaps I am chickened out to get involved emotionally too deeply? Too painful to watch!?
Believe me, I attempted to peep some of the Korean dramas while in Korea but felt so 구질 구질 that I saw only one drama series, 용의눈물, during full ten year period, with such uneasy feeling, which happened to be played right before the evening news so that I forced (?) myself to spare 30 minutes before the national KBS News. Sort of a stupid excuse but I am afraid (?) to watch 미나리 yet!!!

Minari was produced by Brad Pitt
I have to make one thing clear. Minari is not a Korean melodrama but a serious genuine
American movie about humanity that comes across every race in America and different
people in the world. 윤여정 is a Korean actress but she was able to express
emotions that everybody in the world possesses. 한예리 is also a Korean actress but she made
others who are not Koreans feel the same thing as we, Korean Americans. Hollywood
appreciated it. Korea is no longer a Korea that has been stereotyped for a long time.
Homegrown Korean actors, actresses, and directors move people's emotions regardless
of nationality at their best. It means that Korean culture at this time is the first-rate in the world.
I think Minari is not a very entertaining movie that average Americans like but a very serious one.
It is educational for other people to understand Korean immigrants and it will help to heal the racial divide.

New York Times Movie Review
Sinking Korean Roots in the Arkansas Soil
It’s not just that Chung, a Korean-American filmmaker in his early 40s who grew up on a farm in Arkansas, is drawing on what he knows. Any movie-watcher knows that real life can all too easily be falsified by melodrama or drowned in sentimentality. There is certainly plenty of emotion here; Jacob, who has some trouble with his well, could irrigate his crops with the audience’s tears. But Chung’s touch is careful and precise. Everything is weighed. Nothing is wasted(from the text)
It all seems simple and straightforward. “Minari” is modest, specific, and thrifty, like the lives it surveys. There’s nothing small about it, though, because it operates at the true scale of life
(from the text)
I might add, "Koreans are human nothing more or nothing less than Americans.".
But Koreans were not able to express their feelings as well as others. Now, they are. How nice!

Got it, doc, thaaaanks!!!!
Not like a history- based drama, all I know about!!
Eventhough almost full two decades were passed since I saw 용의눈물, the calling ' ----전하-----' is still lingering in my ear!!!!

Dear Doc, please take a look at the movie "Minari" for a change, maybe with your wife.
I know what you are thinking and feeling about Koreans.
Please realize that the Koreans you knew are not the Koreans we have now in Korea or America.
The people in the movie in "Minari" don't belong to the older Group of Koreans (엽전) you know.
They are the new generations of contemporary Korea that we left behind a long time ago.
The time has gone so far that you and I can not identify and believe in the new society in modern Korea.
I do not watch Korean dramas just like you don't because I could not stand the juvenile
and primitive stories, actors, and their actings in them under the themes of vanity, infidelity,
hopeless yearning for the stupid wealth.
The "Minari" is not like that. Why do you have to watch the movie?
Because there is hardly anything that our generation has done in America
but, look, what the new generation of Koreans has done. I say they are much luckier
than we used to be and they have taken the Academy that we never dreamed about.
None of these is our own fault. We happened to belong to the unlucky generation.
Knowing that, we should congratulate them instead of turning our heads away.
Please don't dwell in the tragedies of the long-gone past. It's gone. We shall just forget about it.

Wow, what an enthusiastic encouragement to erase my prejudice, thanks, doc!!!
I certainly will watch it, hopefully not to get involved too much emotionally.
Is the access Dr. Ohn provided before still valid?

I finally sat two hours, watching 미나리!!!!
How I feel about this famous movie? Well, I don't know, doc! But, to me, it is NOT a fake story movie but a real life story we all share every day, to make me feel like watching a documentary! don't you think?
Anyhow, I would say, I was helplessly suffering(?) rather than ‘enjoying’ through this 5-minute short 2-hour movie, involved so much emotionally!!!! So real, so sad, so painful to watch!!!!
Did you really enjoy the movie, Dr. Ohn? Really? Don’t you think the life is already full of agony with so many tears, angers, wraths, hatreds, etc, etc, more than enough we can sustain. But you still need more to enjoy, really? Hmmmmmm!
Amazing!

I was going to add this webpage to the comment space of "Minari" webpage by Dr. John Ohn.
After the completion, this thing has gotten too big to place in the comment space.
So, I put it up as a separate webpage but it may serve better as an extension of the original webpage.
This webpage contains the feelings of other people who are not Korean immigrants.
On today's news, I heard that this film has become the No.1 box-office hit in Italy.
The movie seemed to have brought a lot of people into tears.
I thought it has nothing to do with Italians but obviously, it does have something to do with them too.
Of course, it moved a lot of American people in the Academy and Hollywood in California.
I was surprised that those non-Koreans had the "same" feeling and emotions that I or Dr. Ohn had.
It seems that the movie had touched a lot of people with overwhelming emotions for different reasons. I would say that such a movie is a good movie!
