i recently got a dvd player and all i've seen so far is "scandal" and "memories of murder". anyone have any good recommendations? i tried searching on this topic, but i can't seem to find a thread (or i just don't know how to search).
also, if i buy korean dvds here, will they work on my player at home in NA?
thanks! |

| I really agree that "Classic" is a great movie. Yes, I admit I cried. |

Great movie. My first one I ever saw in Korean, basically about fugutives with drugs on the run in Korea and they end up in an amusement park in Busan. It is about 3 years old.
Had the strangest sex scene I have ever seen in a movie.
I don't rate singles...though you know I like Om Jeong Hwa. |

You'll need to get a hack for DVD player to make it region free.
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdhacks
Here's my list of DVDs I'm trying get sent to me from friends and in-laws (apologies for the repeats):
Happy Ending (isn't that the one about an Englsih teacher?)
Peppermint Candy (or was it this one?)
Swiri (not great, but I'd like to see it again with English subtitles)
JSA (same thing, but better than swiri)
Chingu (just want know what all the fuss was about)
Spring in my Hometown (saw it once, don't really remember it, figure it might as well be in my 'collection')
White Badge (sort of a Korean 'Platoon'. Novel was good, don't really remember the movie)
Real Fiction (got good reviews)
The Isle (ditto)
Silmido (probably not out on DVD yet?)
Tae guki (ditto)
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring (definitely not out on DVD yet, but this will probably be the movie that everyone should have)
Classic (never heard of it until this thread, but it's on my list now!) |

I'm partial to bad Korean horror movies. (And most of them are really bad.) Worth a rental for schlock value, but not a purchase:
Phone
Wishing Stairs
Acacia
Momento Mori
Tale of Two Sisters (mentioned above)
Horror Game Movie (also has a different English title that I can't remember at the moment)
In the realm of good movies, I really liked "Please Take Care of My Cat", and, since I'm a little sentimental "The Way Home". |

I saw two movies in the theatre without subtitles and I'd like to get them on DVD so I can read the English subtitles... However, I don't know the names...
The first movie is about a woman that is released from prison, meets a man on a train, and through a various amount of lies ends up portraying herself to his family as his fiance (he has a real fiance). It's a romantic-comedy...
The second movie is also a romantic comedy about a man that has to marry a girl that doesn't want to marry him. She's in high school and he ends up becoming her teacher... also, many funny scenes.
Can anyone help me out with the names? |

That sounds a little bit like Ssagaji, about the guy who makes a high school girl his "slave" because he says she owes him $3000 for damaging his car. Eventually he falls in love with her and ends up being her private teacher just to be with her.
Don't know if it's exactly the one you're thinking of though.

"Sex is zero" & "Attack at the Gas Station" were two of the worst flicks i've ever seen. The first one did the typical Korean spinarooni half way through where an American Pie type comedy suddenly became Steel Magnolias.
Attack at the Gas Station was just plain stupid. The ending made me want to pour hot candle wax on my eyeballs. |
