My Sassy Girl
Korean
Based on a series of true stories posted by Ho-sik Kim on the Internet describing his relationship with his girlfriend
One of those casual movies which makes the story feel real and happening; funny, but rarely innocent i'd say, Just pure romance, love and fun. one not to miss, gives you a good laugh.
A Moment to Remember
Korean
A love story about a young couple's enduring love, which is tested when 27 year old Sun-jin is diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease
A enviable touching love story followed by hardships. One of those movies about how long you could hold back from your loved ones, even though you love them more than anything.
Oldboy
Korean
After being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in 5 days
How far would you go to avenge your vengeance against someone who punished you for your justifiable mistake, punished for 15 years without even knowing what for. A bit incest for those who dislike such things.
I Saw the Devil
Korean
Kyung-chul (Choi Min-sik) is a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. He has committed infernal serial murders in diabolic ways that one cannot even imagine and his victims range from young women to even children. The police have chased him for a long time, but were unable to catch him. One day, Joo-yeon, daughter of a retired police chief becomes his prey and is found dead in a horrific state. Her fiance Soo-hyun (Lee Byung-hun), a top secret agent, decides to track down the murderer himself. He promises himself that he will do everything in his power to take bloody vengeance against the killer, even if it means that he must become a monster himself to get this monstrous and inhumane killer.
You sure will see the devil in the movie, another movie which would make you feel disappointed and angry after the turn of events in the movie.
Memories of Murder
Korean
In 1986, in the province of Gyunggi, in South Korea, a second young and beautiful woman is found dead, raped and tied and gagged with her underwear. Detective Park Doo-Man and Detective Cho Yong-koo, two brutal and stupid local detectives without any technique, investigate the murder using brutality and torturing the suspects, without any practical result. The Detective Seo Tae-Yoon from Seul comes to the country to help the investigations and is convinced that a serial-killer is killing the women. When a third woman is found dead in the same "modus-operandi", the detectives find leads of the assassin.
A movie that leaves you reeling in the end an unsolved serial murder mystery based on true events.
if you are into korean movies i would recommend a few more Korean movies from one of the unique director Kim ki-duk, who has a weird way of directing with stories totally unforeseen by any American or British movie viewers
