South Korea seems to have an excellent movie industry. Story lines are original. Plus, the actresses are hawt.

Here are a few that I've watched and considered outstanding:

My Sassy Girl (2001)

Sex is Zero (2002) --this one starts out corny, but gets very serious

3-Iron (2004)

200 Pounds Beauty (2006)

A Tale of Legendary Libido (2008)

Natalie (2010)

Eungyo, a.k.a. A Muse (2010)

The Handmaiden (2016)

Parasite (2019)

Escape fro Mogadishu (2021)

Actually a series: "Extraordinary Attorney Woo".

A 2022 South Korean television series starring Park Eun-bin in the title role, along with Kang Tae-oh and Kang Ki-young. It follows Woo Young-woo, a female rookie attorney with autism, who is hired by a major law firm in Seoul. Being different from her neurotypical peers, her manner of communication is seen by them as odd, awkward, and blunt. With each legal case and through her intelligence and photographic memory, she becomes an increasingly competent attorney and earns recognition from other legal professionals and appreciation from her clients.

Having just watched a couple more, I can see why Korean dramas a so popular.

A moment to remember: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428870

About a young woman who develops a rare form of Alzheimer's disease.

Miss Granny: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3516378/

About an elderly woman who suddenly regains her youth.

The stories a very original, well acted, and well produced. They convey a lot of feeling.

Welcome to Dongmakgol

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475783/

is worth a watch. About an isolated mountain village, where the people were unaware that the Korean War was going on, and who welcomed a few random North and South Korean soldiers, plus an American pilot.

The Royal Tailor

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4024104/

Only the Koreans could take something as mundane as tailoring and turn it into a gripping period drama.

This zombie trilogy:
\o/(1) Seoul Station [2016]
\o/(2) Train to Busan [2016]
\o/(3) Peninsula [2020]

(3) is the weakest of them and (2) the strongest. And (1) is animated, if anyone cares.

Peninsula [2020] is OK but I think they tried to cram too many story-lines into it.
