Wow, this looks gorgeous. Even better than the set Criterion has, which says a lot.

If there are no English subtitles, I wouldn't buy this, especially since Novamedia is going to be releasing deluxe steelbook editions of at least half of these films. They just announced they are releasing In the Mood for Love, Happy Together and Fallen Angels as exclusive WEA steelbooks. Wouldn't surprise me if eventually they release the other movies, too. Most Korean editions include English subtitles, and I'm certain Novamedia will.

That's too bad about the 4K discs, but will the Blu-Ray discs have subtitles? I imagine they will since previous Blu-Ray discs in Korea did have English subs.

New more specific answer about subtitles. I understand that it will have subtitles in English

I'm confused. First they say only Korean subtitles, then they say Korean & English subtitles? Assuming the last message is correct, then that is great.
