The Great Flood, a Korean Sci-Fi Drama released by Netflix in 2025, is a story about what it means to be human, quite literally. The premise is that of a catastrophic flood caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out humanity. With our species’s last breath, we attempt to bring life to our successors aboard a spaceship designed to survive us and continue after we are gone.
The cast is studded with Korean stars. The lead male character, a security agent sent to secure the protagonist, is Park Hae-soo of Squid Game fame. The leading lady here is also no slouch, as Kim Da-mi is no stranger to the Korean film industry, appearing in many major movies and TV shows before this one. They both really let it shine here. They beautifully portray the tragic humanity of their situation without letting their stardom be the focus.
In all, I give this movie an 8/10. The Sci-Fi nature, and the twist that pulls from greats like Edge of Tomorrow, and Doctor Who, while giving it a new life with a fresh and timely Sci-Fi twist.
If you have no issue watching a Subtitled Korean Sci-Fi Drama that will make you ask questions you may have never known could even be asked, The Great Flood is your next film!
