Check out The Chaser though.

"Memories of Murder" (Joon-ho Bong, 2003)

"In Between Days" (So-yong Kim, 2006)

"Nobody's Daughter Haewon" (Sang-soo Hong, 2013)

"Right Now, Wrong Then" (Sang-soo Hong, 2015)

this was way better than it had any right to be tbqh.

The chaser

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance was incredibly shit though, I have no idea why people speak so highly of it.

I recomend this, it's one of the best.

I'm glad they did. The movie was already too fucking long

probably because your opinion of it is shit, the true order of quality goes Mr Vengeance > Oldboy > Mrs Vengeance

Breathless

Memories of Murder is 10/10 but The Host was really bad, so many plotholes and annoyingly stupid shit.

>Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance was incredibly shit

Save the Green Planet

The decisions that characters were making were so goddamn stupid. I'm mostly talking about sisters suicide, and that little kids death, if both major plot points are that bad than there is no saving this movie.

the kids death could have been handled better but maybe thats because you cant really make it too explicit when its about children, i actually expected the retard to do something to her, anyway that wasnt the characters decision, more a plot point. I dont remember the sisters suicide being out of character, she was sick and poor and then she realised she helped in a kidnapping, maybe it wasnt necessary to make her suicide but i felt like this whole movie was just about misery.

This misery could have been easily avoided (at least most part of it). I don't remember perfectly but his sister suicide was pointless. She knew that her brother cared deeply about her (so deeply that he went with the kidnapping in the first place) yet she still killed herself knowing that it won't solve shit and even make things worse for her brother. And all that because she couldn't handle the so called "kidnapping" of a little kid (even though they probably took better care of her than her true parents).

>that ending

Friend (2001)
Best Korean movie of all time.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch the sequel. The director sold out hard.

The point of the movie is totally lost on you. That kidnapping led to the inadvertent death of the child. The sister despaired and killed herself because she was such a burden her brother had to kidnap a child, of course she would think she's better off dead regardless of whether that's actualy true or not

>Memories of Murder
>I Saw the Devil
>Inside Men
>The Good, The Bad, The Weird
>A Bittersweet Life
>The Wailing
>Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (part of the Oldboy Vengeance trilogy
>The Host
>The Yellow Sea
>New World
>The Handmaiden
>Mother

And just Asian film in general:

>Anything by Wong-Kar Wai (Fallen Angels, In the Mood, Chungking Express)
>Late 80's, early 90's John Woo
>Infernal Affairs (the original 'The Departed')
>Rebels of the Neon God
>Cold Fish (anything by Sion Sono)
>Paprika

etc. There's heaps I can't think of

anyone else seen Asura: city of madness

it has the most explosive finale of any movie I've ever seen, its like something out of a Shakespeare tragedy. Everybody gets it, but no one goes down without a desperate fight.

saw this in theaters, then got it on video

the ending was completely different between the two versions

>anything by Sion Sono
I'm a big fan of Sono, but I would never recommend "anything" by him.
