1. 1987: When The Day Comes
Korean Movie - 2017
bawled my eyes out. death to facism! urging people who are interested in this time period and piece of korean history to just watch this movie that gets it right instead of like, snowdrop
-
2. A Werewolf Boy
Korean Movie - 2012
watching this with my husband on our wedding night and if he doesn't like it i am getting divorced immediately <3
-
3. Alien
Korean Movie - 2022
this sci fi action historical comedy adventure about two time traveling alien robot dads raising their future gun-wielding joseon warrior daughter is actually so personal to me. one of the best movies of 2022 according to the official critics consensus which is myself
-
4. Alien + People: Part 2
Korean Movie - 2024
part 2 of this ambitious, insane, grand-scale blockbuster that could rival some of marvel's best stuff; mad respect for the PD who did not give a single shit about anything or anyone else and just went full ham. he said go BIG or go home! not many will like this, as its genre mish-mash and time travel insanity might overwhelm you, but i loved this so much. a damn blast!
-
5. Alături de Zei: Cele Două Lumi
Korean Movie - 2017
"all humans live in sin - only a few have the courage to beg for forgiveness… only a fraction of those will get it." gripping, oddly comedic, wholly emotional and just one hell of a time (pun intended).
-
6. Alături de Zei: Ultimele 49 de Zile
Korean Movie - 2018
fantasy-action-court-melodrama with sword-wielding grim reapers guiding a man's soul through the seven trials of hell continues -- also backstories, finally, and dinosaurs! AND ma dong seok. i loved these a lot and i'm hoping to see it all continued!!

7. Broker
Korean Movie - 2022
this movie is about when mary oliver said "it is your life, which is so close to my own that i would not know where to drop the knife of separation. and what does this have to do with love, except everything?"
-
8. Determination to Part Ways
Korean Movie - 2022
"the moment you said you loved me, your love is over. the moment your love ends, my love begins." devastated, shattered, broken, on the floor
yeah alright i get the fuss about park chan wook now i really do. he does get the concept of romance right i gotta give him that
-
9. Derailed
Korean Movie - 2016
gonna be real with y'all i watched this on 3x speed only to see kim jae young getting either beaten up or beating someone else up (thanks tjfh brainrot). that aside, very bland movie. would've been nice to see the teens backstories. kim jae young however? fantastic, brilliant, meant for greatness, give him 500 daesangs

10. Similar
Korean Movie - 2022
yeo jin goo crying scene enjoyers this one's another one to look out for!! i quite liked this -- absolutely not what you think it is but i think that made it even better. that twist had me shaking in the airplane seat omg
-
11. Emergency Declaration
Korean Movie - 2022
me watching plane disaster movie that is tense and where the passengers are in danger: oh god this is so tense and the passengers are in danger!!! also i just think he (im siwan playing deranged characters) is neat
-
12. Jung_E
Korean Movie - 2023
is it good? dunno. did i sob? you bet
i guess people hated this and while it isn't the next sci fi masterpiece or whatever i just really enjoy dystopic settings and robots and whatnot (i'm actually 12). overall narrative was lacking for sure but the portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship was great.

i'm such a sucker for quirky, unusual love stories involving the weirdest, strangest people ever and this was just that. who will buy me a tree?
-
17. Gunoierii Spațiali
Korean Movie - 2021
sometimes a family is a badass alcoholic space ship captain, a tattooed ex-convict who's actually a softie, a troubled ex-soldier & single dad grieving his daughter, a trans robot and their genetically modified adopted child teaming up to fight evil eco-fascist elon musk. what more do you want???

-
21. The Prison
Korean Movie - 2017
if i hadn't made up an insane alternative dr romantic x first responders crossover universe in which an evil kim sabu meets jin ho gae in a prison then this probably would've been a lot less fun. great perfomances by han seok kyu and kim rae won though and the action was neat i guess.
