Japanese Titles Involving Any Korean Cast/Crew

I will be using this list as a part of CONNECT THE TITLES CHALLENGE 

I need some dramas and movies to switch in between Japan and Korea and this list would be helpful in achieving that.

I will not pre-plan my titles but will watch out for these by adding some of them in PTW. In case I encounter them in any cast's profile it would be useful.
