Korean Movies based on true stories

bona1228

Can you guys recommend me korean movies based on true stories? Something like New Trial, Way Back Home, Hope and Han Gongju (this is too heavy for my liking though) ? 

Thanks!!

I've never seen any of the movies you mentioned, so maybe these aren't at all what you're looking for.

The only things I can think of at the moment that are based on true stories:
Cart is based on events that really happened but is of course fictionalized
Set Me Free is based loosely on director/writer Kim Tae Yong's experiences (which is pretty crazy to think about! I loved this movie though)
Manshin is actually more like a documentary, dramatizing the life of a female shaman

Thanks!! I'll check them out. You should check what I have mention too. I have to warn you though, Han Gong Ju is too heavy ;)

Hi, the Korean movies that I have watched is not many, the one I know that is based on true story is The Crucible. I haven't watched but plan to do so soon.

I second "The Crucible".  Fantastic movie, but horribly sad and sickening, especially with the knowledge that it's based on true events.  Personally, I'll never watch it again.  I bawled my eyes out... :(
