KPop Demon Hunters dropped on Netflix just two weeks ago and it’s already the streamer’s most watched English-language content ever. No surprise, a sequel is in the works. If you were too busy with your summer read to catch it, here’s what all the fuss is about.
What is it?
The film follows an all-female, insanely popular K-pop band that happens to slay demons to keep the world safe. While they’re slaying demons, they’re also dealing with a rival K-pop band that threatens their entire fanbase and the difficulties of trying to keep their band together.
Why should you watch it?
Maybe because you don’t want FOMO? Everybody, and I mean everybody, is watching it. With more than 210 million streams on Netflix and more than 300 billion soundtrack streams, it seems that the whole world has tuned in.
What do people have to say about it?
When CNN asked fans precisely what is so great about it, one said that watching it “I just feel like I’m on a joy ride.” Another added, “There’s a little spark of it that set off my heart whenever I watched it.”
Who does it appeal to?
The movie has K-pop, a concert film feel, action, animation, and great female role models for young girls. If you like even one of these, KPop Demon Hunters is for you.
