  • A Bittersweet Life

    This is getting a Blu-ray release in Germany and it looks like it's from a new 2k scan.

    Can't find confirmation on if it'll have English subtitles or not so I'm guessing no but if this were to get an English-friendly reissue on Blu I'd grab it. I've still got the old Korean DVD.
    Rock! Shock! Pop!

    I'd be all over this, too, if it has English subs. Amazing movie.

      Since the previous German BD ONLY had German subs I'm guessing this will probably be the same.
