Korean Movies
Here's a list of 10 Korean movies of history several years which i enjoyed. These are the comic to the tragic, and involve both action movies and historical dramas. Three seem to be extracted from events in Korea within the last 4 decades roughly.
My Sassy Girl - With different actual life story that the man posted on the Internet, My Sassy Girl became all the rage in East Asia back in 2001, if this was popular in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. This led to a forgettable direct-to-disc American remake in 2008, starring Elisha Cuthbert (who's unforgettable). My Sassy Girl is approximately an excellent guy who meets a drunk girl Known only as the "Girl" - about the subway, and all sorts of odd adventures they enter while falling for each other. You will never believe where the plot goes into this.
Joint Security Area (JSA) - The Joint Security Area may be the DMZ between North Korea and South Korea, which movie tells the storyline of your double-shooting in the JSA. This results in increasing tensions on both sides from the borders, an investigation by way of a Swiss-Korean woman and nearly two hours of great, if implausible, entertainment.
Oldboy - Oldboy is probably the more famous Korean movies with American audiences, famous enough that it hit CNN during the Virginia school shooting a few years ago. Oldboy is all about a person abducted and imprisoned inside a college accommodation for Fifteen years, and what comes about when he escapes. Prepare for the twist, in addition to seeing Oldboy go crazy together with his hammer. When they ever actually obtain the U.S. remake of Oldboy made, it is going to suck so bad. There's just too many essential parts they might must change for American audiences. Oldboy was great, though.
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance - Like Oldboy, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance was directed by Park Chan-wook, which is considered part of his "vengeance trilogy" (along with Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance). When a woman leaves prison, after serving a sentence to get a crime she didn't commit, it's time to mete out revenge against the real culprits.
Arahan - Arahan can be a 2004 action-comedy which was panned by critics, but found a crowd. If the 6 Masters of Tao determine that an inept cop has the Chi to become an "Arahan" and rule the planet, you will know all sorts of wackiness is going to ensue. You'll either love this one or hate it.
Silmido - Silmido can be a South Korean island where, in 1968, a special team of assassins were educated to assassinate former North Korean dictator, Kim Il-Sung, in retaliation for North Korea's make an effort to assassinate the South Korean president. Based on true events involving a 31-man team of either criminals or special forces soldiers, according to who you speak with, Silmido needs a look a Korea's sordid past. In the event it was carried out with its run, Silmido was the first South Korean movie being viewed by 10 million Koreans in the theater.
The President's Last Bang - Another movie portraying events from South Korea's sordid past, The President's Last Bang is one of the 1979 assassination with the South Korean President by uncle and Intelligence Director.

Chunhyang - If you like period pieces, Chunhyang will be the story of your hidden love and marriage from the nobleman and the daughter of the courtesan in 1700s Korea.

Guns and Talk - After having a tearjerker, you might like to watch a comedy. Guns and Talk can be a comedy about 4 guys who decide to turn into a team of assassins. Each time a number of detectives jump on their case, things get yourself a little crazy. While Guns and Talk includes a quantity of implausible situations, if you enter in the movie with the proper attitude, you ought to enjoy it.
