~ Favorite Korean Films ~
In order of my favs with some commentary :)
-
1. The Man from Nowhere
Korean Movie - 2010
DAMNNNNN WON BINNNNNNN!!!! One of my fav action films of all time. Fighting scenes 10/10. The acting, the plot, everything about this film made me go and purchase it on DVD so I can have it forever. You like John Wick?? This is the film that made it happen most def.

2. Silenced
Korean Movie - 2011
Well damn... Didn't expect a depression cloud when I happened to watch this. That ending.. heart breaking.. life is really unfair and as you probably guessed.. YES THIS WAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY! Unbelievable really.. I have no words. Didn't expect the film in a way to be graphic so if you get triggered by abuse and stuff probably best to skip it.

3. A Day With My Son
Korean Movie - 2007
Well damn... I'm writing this one right after watching, and omgg the amount of waterworks is extreme with this one. The story was already sad and I knew there would be a plot twist (I read some reviews before watching). BUT THAT PLOT TWISTT?? Was something I was not mentally prepared for. The amount of foreshadowing that was literally in front of my face that I didn't pick up on is crazy. Def feel empty after this watch. Get this poor man some therapy... hell me too cause I am BROKEN. That ending in a sense is happy but I feel with all that happened it really isnt LOLLL. Nothing but a masterpiece with this one, plot was 10/10.

5. Shoot My Heart
Korean Movie - 2015
First of all this was great film and I would definitely give it a rewatch when I need some encouragement. It's a film that didn't bring me tears but instead gave me a big smile :)) Def a comfort movie loved the chemistry between the leads and the whole hospital in general. 10/10 acting and plot in this one.

I think Seungmin is still alive and was able to reach Annapurna, and maybe him and Soomyung come to meet again.

6. Hwayi: A Monster Boy
Korean Movie - 2013
Literally feel so empty after watching... The stunts, script, acting, ost, omg literally all were amazing. Yeo Jin Goo... his performance.. like omg he really leaves me speechless. The rewatch value on this one is extreme and I will be watching a million times more. I just can't put it into words... watch it immediatelyyyy!!

9. The Merciless
Korean Movie - 2017
Well damn... careful who you trust is a great way to sum up this movie without spoiling it. Brain has exploded.. Ya'll really fucked with Hyunsoo .. all he wanted was a new kidney for his mommmm *cries*. He honestly deserved better :(

10. Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War
Korean Movie - 2004
Kinda depressing, especially knowing one brother served even though he wasn't called to leaving no man to protect the family. Really unfortunate. It's a great war film, I don't normally watch those films but I saw Won Bin was in it.. and since he has such a SMALLLL filmography I had to watch it. That ending.. watch and you'll understand the waterworks :((
