The 2020s have been the most fruitful half a decade for the K-drama landscape, introducing multidimensional, multi-genre series that promise to stay a part of the genre's modern history for a long time. The only thing that has changed in the past few years is the format, with more K-dramas actively embracing shorter episodes with less filler; some hardcore fans may worry that this takes away the K-drama charm from their favorite genre, but it has shown to only make the material better.

It wasn't too long ago when Edward Berger broke out as one of the most in-demand directors in Hollywood thanks to his highly decorated remake of the greatest anti-war stories ever told, All Quiet on the Western Front. Berger's movie was based on a novel of the same name, which has been adapted into several popular films dating back nearly a century. The latest version, which was released by Netflix in 2022, went on to win four Oscars and seven BAFTAs. It came only a few years after Sam Mendes' highly acclaimed 1917, which also owed a creative debt to All Quiet on the Western Front. However, another equally influential anti-war movie was released nearly seven decades ago, and it has since cemented itself as perhaps the greatest anti-war movie of all time.
