Compared with Chinese films, Korean films have a certain gap in both technology and art. Technically, Korean films should be the closest to Hollywood standards in the category of Asian films — note that the "Hollywood standards" here refer to commercial genre films and specific production standards.
Movies, especially high-cost commercial genre films, are a huge commercial test that delicately balances the dominant and popular culture of a country. Compared with Korean dramas, Korean movies are more terrible existences, and Korean movies have more creative appeals than Korean dramas that are audience-oriented. Here are a few types of Korean movies.
One. Action movies
1. "Lonely Agent", 2010
The plot is very simple, that is, the cute girl is kidnapped by the criminal group, and the former agents are lonely and rescued. The action scenes are clean and neat, the sense of blow is strong, Yuan Bin's hand is so cool, and the little girl in it is also very careful, in short, this is a cool action movie.
2. Berlin, 2013
In Berlin, the capital of Germany, a failed arms deal has intensified the confrontation between the two Koreas. North Korean ambassador Lee Jok-so (Lee Kyung-young) and spy cousin Jong-sung (Ha Jeong-woo) find another cold-blooded spy from the motherland, Dong Myung-so (Yoo Seung-bum), in Berlin, and the regime change has filled their hearts with ominous foreboding as they have been wandering overseas for many years. During this time, Zong Sheng has to follow the party's instructions to monitor the whereabouts of his wife, the ambassador's personal translator, Lian Jung-hee (Jeon Ji-hyun). On the other hand, Minister Kang (Han Seok-gyu), the head of South Korea's intelligence agency, who suffered setbacks in tracking down the arms trade, is not willing to fail and continues to track down ZongSheng's traces. After the ambassador's defection plan failed, Zong Sheng learned of Dong Mingxiu's true purpose in coming to Berlin. In order to avoid becoming a victim of the power struggle and the object of purges, he had to flee with his wife...
3. "Company Employee", 2012
Like Su Zhixie's personal performance show, handsome guys kill and kill everywhere, you ask what is the plot? I really don't want to remember, the only impression is that from the beginning to the end, the blood is splashed, it is really a movie with only action.
4. "Yellow Sea", 2010
The story tells the story of two Korean compatriots who go to South Korea to become killers and finally both pounce on the street. There are more people who have seen this movie, so I won't say more. Just to mention, Ha Jeong-woo and Kim Yoon-seok are especially paralyzed killers, as long as they appear on the screen, I know that someone is going to be hacked to death.
5. The Ultimate Weapon: Bow, 2011
Japanese people can make sword and sword films, and Koreans will shoot crossbow films. The background of the story is when the Great Qing Fat beat Up Korea at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Manchus robbed the male protagonist's sister who had just become a bride, and the male protagonist angrily the ancestral treasure bow and shot at the Manchu general (the male protagonist's ancestral treasure bow wrote eight hanzi: pushing Mount Tai forward, hair like a tiger's tail. I checked the "Nine Precepts and Eight Laws" from the Korean Bow Road, which is a great detail, but I want to emphasize that Tarzan is Chinese, haha).
6. "Witch" 2018
The film tells the story of Zi Yoon, an amnesiac girl who survived a strange accident 10 years ago, and grew up with an elderly couple. In order to supplement her family, Ziyun participated in a certain TV show, but what she did not expect was that just after the program was broadcast, all kinds of strange people began to appear in front of her...
Two. Crime films
1. New World, 2012
The setting of this movie is quite comical - the story of two Chinese dicks who are gangster bosses in South Korea. Both male protagonists are set in the film as descendants of overseas Chinese in Yeosu, South Korea (overseas Chinese are underworld?). Nyima, Black My Heavenly Dynasty! Later, I went to check it out, and there were indeed a large number of overseas Chinese in Yeosu City, South Korea, who followed Yuan Shikai to North Korea to do business....). It is said that this film is the director's tribute to infernal affairs, but I really don't find out where the tribute is. In short, the two Chinese dicks experienced thrilling things in the struggle for power and profit of korean gangsters, all kinds of killings, all kinds of cruelty, all kinds of scares. The highlight of the whole film is a large group of underworld brothers in the Chinese restaurant saying Chinese, amused by Huang Zhengmin's accent.
2. The Watchers, 2013
This film is a remake of the Hong Kong movie "Tracking", the director is a true love for Ren Dahua, and also let him make a cameo at the end. This movie made me feel the strong control of Koreans over crime films, short, flat, fast, really not a minute is wasted, the whole film to the end of the scene did not have a minute of drama, is nervous and exciting, minute by minute worried that the beautiful girl Han Hyo-joo was killed by the cold-blooded killer Zheng Yusheng.
3. Horror Live, 2013
On an ordinary morning in Seoul, South Korea, Yoon Young-hwa (Ha Jeong-woo), the host of the radio station Daily Topic, is connecting with listeners about tax reform when Park Lu-gyu, an ordinary worker who claims to live in Seoul's Changshin-dong, calls in and complains about the high electricity bills and threats posed to him by the authorities. Yin Yinghua was impatient and forcibly cut off the phone on the grounds of deviating from the subject. Who knew that the connection could not be unilaterally interrupted by the radio side, and an angry Park Lu-gyu continued to complain and threatened to blow up the Han River Bridge. Yin Yinghua did not think so, and then instigated the other party to do what he wanted, who knew that as soon as the voice fell, the Mapo Bridge outside the window exploded into ruins. The stunned Yin Yinghua quickly calmed down, and he decided to use this rare opportunity to fight a career turnaround battle. Under his auspices, a live broadcast of the connection against terrorists began, and the program of unconscionable conscience began...

5. "Suyuan", 2013
ay...... The subject of rape of a young girl is really... sad. This film tells the story of how Lori got out of the haze after being raped and left with a lifelong disability on her way to school. In short, with resentment towards criminals and sympathy for children, after watching this excellent crime/drama film, the wet lord of the glass heart should not watch it.
6. The Melting Pot, 2011

Three. Thriller
1. Hide and Seek, 2013
At that time, watching this movie was really a little scared, empty and dilapidated gray neighborhood, no music accompaniment of children's oratorio, sudden flashes of black shadows.......The background of the story is that the obsessive-compulsive uncle did not intend to break through the serial murder case, the uncle is still paralyzed acting, but the performance is very good, I completely feel his suppressed pain. It is said to be a remake of the original American version, no famous characters, no special effects, and even the shooting location is a shabby old-fashioned community... It is completely by relying on the quality of the film itself to win the Box Office Champion in South Korea that year.
2. "Neighbors", 2012
Suddenly one day, you find out that the person downstairs in your house is a perverted killer, how do you break it? This is the background of the story. This is a part of the movie that worries about Lolita being killed by a perverted murderer, and Lori is the one in "Uncle".
3. "The Client", 2011
Face paralyzed uncle He Zhengyu is here again, haha. This time he plays the pervert who kills his wife, and the protagonist peels back all kinds of cocoons, and finally exposes the murderous face under his mask. (South Koreans are particularly good at making this kind of movie, burying the pit first, and then waiting until the last few minutes to give you a guessed or unseen ending.) )
4. "The Beginning and End of the Kim Fu Nam Murder Incident", 2010
This movie is really angry 32 likes. On a small island in the isolated sea, in a corner that laws and institutions cannot reach, women endure inhumane insults and are forced to compromise repeatedly before reality and cannot escape the cannibal island, but when the only sustenance, the accidental death of a child, women will become the cruelest animals in the world!!! The bloodiness of the murder scene no longer makes you feel cruel, but excited about the heroine's resistance, here really want to give actress Xu Yingji praise.
Due to space limitations, please wait (U1S1, others may not be convinced, but Korean movies do quite popular Next episode)
