1. Memories of Murder

The film tells the story of a series of serial murders that occurred in a small town in South Korea. The small town police and the Soviet police transferred from Seoul jointly investigated the case.

In short, it is a suffocating but addictive work. I like the performances of all the actors. It is the pinnacle of Korean movies.The setting and handling of suspense is quite masterful, and the creation of a gloomy and depressing atmosphere is comparable to David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins".

2. Burn

It tells the story of three young people with different experiences: Zhong Xiu, Ben, and Huimei. After they met, an entangled love story unfolded between them.

The blank part gives the film a multi-layered interpretation space, the lens language is elegant and charming, and the scheduling is smooth and advanced.Everything is impeccable and perfect.The cat meows in the film are the most chilling, blood-stopping cat meows ever.

3. Parasites

The film tells the story of a family of four whose father, Kim Ki-taek, is idle all day long until the positive eldest son Kim Ki-woo arrives at the home of the wealthy President Park with a forged diploma to apply for a tutor.A story about being involved in a series of unexpected events.

Bong Joon-ho expresses ridicule through the strong drama of the plot design. At the same time, the thrilling and suspenseful plot draws the audience tightly into the story.

4. Montage

It tells the story of two kidnapping cases that took place around 15 years ago and were solved by the police.The film's narrative structure is tortuous and complex, with strong reversals of conflicts.

A decent Korean crime thriller, with no heavy crime and no overly sharp themes. As the most popular genre of Korean films in the world, the film is very good in all aspects of production. However, these days, most of theLarge flashbacks have long been an outdated way of telling stories. The play is not very clever in this regard, but it does have a morally good ending after several twists and turns.

5. Seeing the Devil

The film mainly tells the story of a showdown between a serial killer who takes pleasure in killing people and a police officer who is determined to avenge the death of his fiancée.

It is destined to be a disgusting movie, with too much unrestrained sex, violence, dirty humanity and helpless cruelty... But in the second half, when the relationship between the devil and the pursuer begins to change, the inherent evil and coldnessThe vengeances examine each other, and the film finally begins to enjoy a certain poignant intensity.

6. Old Boy

The film tells a story of revenge. The protagonist Wu Daxiu was suddenly kidnapped on his way home drunk and imprisoned in a private prison for 15 years. After he was finally able to see the light of day again, he desperately wanted to find out what happened to him.He discovered the reason for the kidnapping and launched a crazy revenge plan.

This film is adapted from a Japanese comic of the same name. However, the film is expressed through real images, which challenges the psychological limits of the audience not only visually but also morally.

7. I want revenge

The film tells the story of two men who lost themselves in the cruel reality and launched a revenge story against each other.It is the first part of the revenge trilogy directed by Park Chan-wook.

The film does not have the subtle and fancy format of "Old Boy". It is concise and straightforward, and the brutality and bloodshed are carried out to the end. The pace is a little slow, but fortunately the composition and use of mirrors are very beautiful: three silhouettes of three people on the stairs in different scenes, shot from above., the upside-down subjective shot; the separation of sound and picture and the transitions are amazing in many ways.

8. Lone Agent

The film tells the story of Tae-sik, who never interacts with others. After Xiaomi, the only girl who can make him open his heart, is kidnapped, he begins to fight against the underworld in order to rescue Xiaomi.

The violent scenes in the movie serve as a viewing point for the audience, which somewhat alleviates everyone's uneasiness.The lines between police and criminals are also a highlight of this work.

9. Chaser

The story is adapted from the real case of Yoo Young-chul, the most brutal murderer who shocked the entire Korean history. It is a thrilling story between the protagonist Young-min and his only pursuer Chung-ho who pursues him to save a woman.

As a crime film about a perverted murder case, there is neither a detailed reconstruction of the murder and body dismemberment nor an in-depth analysis of the murderer's past and present life.The narrative focus of the film has not been there from the beginning—killing people.But in pursuit -.

10. Mind reading

The film tells the story of Yang Chundong, a keen police officer of the serious crime team, who with the help of super-powerful young man Jin Jun, identifies a criminal suspect and starts a game of wits and courage with him.
