My first Korean Movie that I loved most is “A Moment to Remember” and from then onwards I started watching all kinds of Korean & Japanese movies which I never tried in the past. Korean Movies are either dark themed action\/crime\/psychological thrillers or Romantic tearjerkers. Their quality of cinema and the script are way different to Hollywood and most of the movies are much better than so called top grossing Hollywood Blockbusters. I was introduced to Korean Cinema by my brother and hence special thanks to him. Since I had made this post a year back, I thought it is better to update the list or reformat them and rank in order. As its difficult to rank them in top 10 I decided to categorize them based on Genre so that it will be easier for me to list according my likeness and repeat viewings. I also expect some good discussion and recommendations on this topic. Your feedback is very important.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top 10 Action drama \/ Spy Thrillers – Korean<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"infernalaffairs\" Infernal Affairs (2002)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 A beautiful thriller, exciting and engrossing with powerhouse of performances that compelled legendary Hollywood director Martin Scorsese to remake it in Hollywood titled \u201cThe Departed\u201d starring \u201cA\u201d list actors to repeat the same roles is no less than an achievement. It\u2019s a spy thriller where an undercover cop joins the gangster and a gangster joins the police following many twists and turns that affects all the lead characters of the movie. Even if you have seen The Departed, I assure you that you will fall in love with this film. The pace of the movie is apt with unfolding of layers of mysteries, performances fulfills the satisfaction value of the viewers and engaging enough to miss you your little timely intervals during the film watching experience. One of the finest directed, enacted and produced thriller from Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Man From Nowhere\u00a0(2010)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 \"man One of the best Stylish and Slick action korean movie that I have watched so far. The lead actor is amazing in his performance be it,\u00a0action, emotional or style quotient, he justifies the act. A person who is leading a low profile lifestyle as a pawn shop keeper is often stunned by the cute little girl living next door. She is the only girl he talks to and one day her mother is being kidnapped by the goons\/human flesh traders looking out for the drugs she stole. It also reveals the dark side of the pawn shop keeper who is very well trained in combats and pain infliction. the story doesn\u2019t hold any big surprises, but the sheer force of the characters and action drives it forward with style. You will look for his other movies once you complete this movie because he is will be the one actor you look forward watching in future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"the The Berlin File (2013)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 A top government agent of North Korea takes a U-turn and turns against its own people and plan an escape to South Korea. He somehow is caught and punished but he leaves a hint to his trusted officer and secret agent about the conspiracy of the people in higher hierarchy of the North Korean Military chiefs. The theme is loosely based on the Government secret agents that are highly skilled in various combats but turn against their own government when they find out the true conspiracy behind their missions. It is similar to Bourne series in terms of theme but execution, screenplay, action and combats are entirely different to each other. It has high octane actions using guns as well as martial art combats and you will enjoy the most of these combats because of strong and aggressive antagonist who is equally capable or little stronger than the main Protagonist. It\u2019s a fast paced action thriller and emotionally impactful on the viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

New World 2013<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u2013\"new The plot of the movie looks heavily inspired from the other Korean Movie named Internal Affairs 2002 \/ The Departed by Martin Scorsese but it is a totally different film with different texture and treatment with its own uniqueness. Even if there isn\u2019t much of real action, the movie pumps up the flow of adrenaline in your body along with the pace of the movie with which each layer unfolds with twists and turns. Excellent performance from the\u00a0lead, his friend and police chief Kang. The psychological gang wars carried out with finesse and the unsolicited events that occurs pumps your adrenaline rush in the body. The attitude of the movie, the psychological game played by the police, the loyalty and betrayal are executed brilliantly with excellent editing, becoming most entertaining Korean film of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"war War of the Arrows (2011)<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u2013 It\u2019s kind of a historical film during the times of kings and their crusades over other states, provinces and countries. In one of those times a brother is delegated a responsibility of his sisters protection from a dying father who is overrun by arch rivals for opposing and protesting against the ruler king. That brother grows to become the finest archer in one of the region\u2019s he grew and finds himself in the same situation when one of the legions attach their village only to find his sister being abducted and others killed.

The film features some amazing archery skills at display followed by stunning chase and other rescue operation shot vividly and choreographed brilliantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Dirty Carnival (2006)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 \"a One of the purest and best Gangster Movie from Korea I have seen so far and it\u2019s based on the life of Byeong-du the protagonist of the film. There is a parallel story to it where his school friend is shown as struggling director in the movie and how this friendship takes one to elation of joy and success and other, to extreme depression and betrayal. The realism displayed in this movie wins lot of accolades and appreciation. There is some fight scenes that are gruesome which brings you closer to the real gangster fights and even might relate to your own personal experience, if ever you have been involved in fights or being victimized. The performances by all 3 major characters of the film are just brilliant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"the The Good The Bad, The Weird (2008)<\/span><\/a> –<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0 The story is about the three characters bounty\u00a0hunter, the thief and the bandit along comes the MAP and its value holds different meaning to each character. To the bandit legend Park Chang-yi, it will help solidify his name in history. To the thief Tae-goo, it means he and his grandmother are set for life. As for the bounty hunter Do-won\u2026 well, he wants a little bit of both. The Film has funny moments, sad moments and more over its kind of a comic relief to the viewers. It is engrossing with little bit of comedy, action and over the top bizarreness. You will love all the characters and all of them have done justice to the characters they play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 \"brotherhood A story of two brothers and their coerced journey in the\u00a0battlefield of War against North Korea, their survival, their bonding, their different opinions, mindset and aims of life.

Stunning cinematography followed by good direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"swiri\" Swiri (1999)<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u2013 A brilliant Korean Masala flavored film yet slick and stylist; bit of suspense and thrills with an ensemble star cast leaves you with overwhelming experience.

Top 10 Crime \/ Psychological Thrillers – Korean<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"oldboy\" Oldboy\u00a0(2003)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 The lead protagonist is being kidnapped and imprisoned in a hotel room. The\u00a0reason is unknown. Time is unknown. TV was the only sole connection to the outside world and watching it helplessly about her wife death and he considered as the murderer of her wife\u2019s death who ran away from the scene. He trains himself physically and plans a Shawshank redemption type escape from the captivity. As soon as he finds out the way for an exit suddenly he is thrown onto the rooftop of a building with a cellphone and some cash. Now he has only one aim in life i.e., to find out the reason for his abduction and imprisonment for 15yrs. He meets a lovely girl in a sushi bar type restaurant and his journey to find out the truth behind his imprisonment begins which comes with horrifying, shocking and somewhat disgusting (especially to Indian audience) revelation one after the other. Please watch out this movie solely for only one reason \u2013 The thrilling end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memories of Murder\u00a0(2003)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 \"memories It is a film about the Serial Killer, Mysteries, Suspense, Thriller,\u00a0Brutal deaths and Murders. It is one of those rare films that meet an unexpected end. A Serial Killer who likes to play the game of Catch me if you can with the police officials and detectives at the same time being a horror to young women especially at nights. Victims are found dead brutally wounded that sends shivers across the village. It has many twists and much guessing goes on till the end. It has amazing screenplay which keeps you engaged throughout and wanting more of it at the end. The performances are really great and the chase to hunt down this mystery serial killer is shot astutely.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"confessions Confessions (2010)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s about a teacher\u2019s revenge against the two students of her that she considers them responsible for the death of her little daughter. \u00a0It\u2019s violent, gritty, dark and full of madness. The film is shot beautifully and intelligently. Cinematography is phenomenal, Editing on par with the best, direction is very good, performance is flawless and script is entirely different but great. Korean thriller movie fans must watch this movie and others too. Film is very delicate as the two main antagonists are the lead protagonists of the film and the main protagonist is the antagonist in the film. The background score is very good and at times pleasing to ears. It tries to evoke the feelings of a devastated mother (who lost her young little daughter and whose husband died due to illness) and the vengeance against the guilty ones. It gets confusing sometimes if you don\u2019t concentrate and it\u2019s a psychological thriller with vengeance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chaser (2008)<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 \"the Murder was a shame to be considered as a\u00a0remake on this gory thriller called Chaser. Most of you have seen the film Murder but watch this film to know the difference in quality, performances and Rawness of brutal killings, chase and many minute details. The story keeps you engrossed throughout the duration of the film and you will be surprised at the end because most of the Korean films have either sad\/surprise\/chaotic endings with loads and loads of tearjerkers.\u00a0A thriller with lot of suspense drama surrounding to unsolved cases and mysteries is very rare thing in Hindi Cinema and Bhatt\u2019s have utilized every opportunity to explore the untapped market of Indian Cinema.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A_Tale_of_Two_Sisters_film\" A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u2013 It is a psychological thriller with suspense and horror that keeps you on the edge of the seat, compelling you to unravel the mysteries behind the events occurring during the movie ASAP. Two sisters after getting discharged from the mental institutions fear for their life from their stepmother and haunted by a ghost in the house of their father. They fail to prove their father about the evil intentions of their stepmother and her torture to one of the sister. It\u2019s intense, horrifying and loaded with mystery, twists and fantastic climax. Performance from the two little girls and cruel stepmother successfully convinces you to think what the director aims. The movie ends with fantastic climax that is unique and one of its kind for its time. There are few Hollywood movies that are inspired from it’s twisted plot that includes a like Shutter Island<\/span><\/p>\n

I Saw the Devil (2010)<\/span><\/b><\/a> \u2013 \"i<\/b> It is a thriller that is brutal and gory and puts most of the violent movies in the past to shame. There are so many violent scenes where you don\u2019t feel comfortable at times but at the same time you don\u2019t want miss it. A psychopath serial killer kills the fianc\u00e9 of a secret agent and to avenge the brutal death of her fianc\u00e9 he does all he can to make him suffer until his last breadth. There are some twists at the end and flaws relating to police investigation method but the sheer power of the film lies on violence and psychopath killer\u2019s powerful performance. He is absolutely brilliant and the way he carried out his killings makes you hate him more. It is a very disturbing violent movie that I won\u2019t recommend for the women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"confessions Confession of Murder (2012)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 The most wanted serial killer becomes overnight sensation when he releases his book, an autobiography about the murders he committed, in detail but can\u2019t be held responsible by police due to lack of evidence. The police officer who was nearly killed and had confrontation in an ugly fight denies accepting him as the same serial killer based on his instincts and calling him the impostor.\u00a0 He develops cult followings among young girls for his looks even though he is accused of raping, killing and chopping off women & children. However during one interview, a caller calls him fake, an impostor and claims to be the real serial killer. Film is excellent and performances are great. You will love it if you have not seen a Hindi film called \u201cFox\u201d starring Sunny Deol and Arjun Rampal as this looks heavily inspired from it and which off-course is inspired from Hollywood movie called \u201cA Murder of Crows\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother (2009)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 \"Mother_film_poster\" It tells about a mother who is willing to go at any stretch to save her son (little immature) framed against false charges of killing a teen age girl. Mother desperately searches the real killer in order to prove her son\u2019s innocence with the help of her son\u2019s friend. The film is slow but the twist in the end ultimately pays off\u2026 The mother\u2019s son is \u201cBin Won\u201d \u2013 remember \u2018the man from nowhere\u201d? He is just brilliant and you won\u2019t recognize him as \u201cBin Won\u201d or the man from nowhere fame unless you have read about him featuring in the film.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"JSA\" J.S.A.: Joint Security Area (2000)<\/span><\/a> <\/b>\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s the story about North and South Korean border security soldiers\u00a0safeguarding the joint security area (borderline) and about the investigation carried out in the murder of one official (border security official belonging to North Korea) which is shown in the beginning of the film. It has lot of depth and layers to understand the culture of Koreans that also displays the fondness among the people of the country even if they stand divided but doesn\u2019t compromise on their loyalty and patriotism for their respective country. Excellent performance from the two lead protagonist and direction is executed very well to capture the moments, fear and trust among the two divided nation\u2019s army personnel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silmido (2003)<\/span><\/b><\/a> \u2013 \"Silmido-2003-K-Movie\"<\/b> It is sort of high octane action drama at the back drop of political conspiracies and shriveling accusations. In 1986, South Korean Government plans to execute or kill North Korean President Kim il-Sung by training death row victims in a secrete unit called \u00a0Silmido unit. They are trained rigorously without many breaks, preparing them to be suicidal squad whose aims and vision are nothing but the target set by the Government and in succeeding the mission they get their life back as the citizens of South Korea. As they go hard on the victims during training sessions, witnessing the killings of their fellow companions for failing to stand the gruesome training, they develop a bond that binds them together. All of a sudden the mission is cancelled by the political leaders and the sole existence of the camp is taken away. These leads the prisoners to take drastic steps and move out of Silmido but unfortunately destiny leads them to unfortunate end still they send out the clear and loud message to people of Korea in their last coup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The movie starts off well but drags a little in between during the training camp then suddenly many interesting things happen that hold your attention till the end.<\/p>\n

Other Movies that I would like to recommend are as follows:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Layout Departures (2008)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s a film about the professional job which is looked down upon as abhorring that involves the person to perform the final rituals for the departed souls or in other words on the dead body of the people. I had different expectations from the film but it turned out be a totally different and unique film. It showcases a very important psychological effects on the people surrounding you and their uncomforting nature or immediate reactions towards you as soon as they are explained about the nature of the job. Initially i felt bored as it was very slow paced but later started kind of liking the film. It will have a deep emotional impact on you if one just imagines the final rites performed on your loved ones. The music in between is soothing, beautiful and pleasurable. Overall liked the movie n performances are great.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poongsan (2011)<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 \"poongsan\" A man takes not more than 3 hours to cross into North Korea border and bring back the people reluctant to stay in South Korea is hired by South Korean official Government Agents to help cross a diplomat\u2019s lover who is struck in North Korea. He successfully obliges the request but is denied the payment of what was promised. In revenge he abducts the girl and his lover diplomat until his dues are cleared but falls in love with girl during the period of abduction and till the time of his payments cleared. Things change and he gets harassed, tortured & used by agents of both side against the life of the girl he loves. Movie is good and he is the same lead actor who featured in \u201cthe Berlin file\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Speedy_Scandal_film_poster\" Speed Scandal (2008)<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/b>\u2013 A young RJ\/DJ living like a spoilt brat suddenly finds him in an awkward situation when confronted with a young girl who has a son claims to be his daughter. Worried of being blackmailed or threatened with a super scandal he refuses to accept the truth and tries everything to throw out the girl and her son out of his house as soon as possible. After succeeding in his intentions, he realizes the mistake and confronts the truth and accepts the daughter wholeheartedly but tries to get involved with the private affairs of her daughter with another teenage boy. Different events takes place in his journey that are sweet, emotional and otherwise normal. It\u2019s a sweet comical drama, well directed, well enacted and well executed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Robin kkosigi (2006)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 \"Seducing It is also known as Seducing Mr. Perfect. A young girl with weird fashion style bumps into the car of the man who turns out to be his next boss. She tries to revive her fashion style and in the meantime falls in love with the young handsome boss of her who happens to be mean to her in the beginning. The boss is also in love with this young girl but shy\u2019s off from displaying his emotions and affections towards her. He is a shrewd business man but also honest and shy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"castaway Castaway on the Moon (2009)<\/span><\/a><\/b> \u2013 Well these were my views when I watched it first time, \u201cThe movie looked interesting in the beginning but turned out lame and stupid later on.
