- DirectorIm Sang-sooStarsHan Suk-kyuBaek Yun-shikSong Jae-hoA look at the life of President Park Chung-hee and the events leading up to his assassination.
- DirectorJeong-woo ParkStarsKang Seong-jinJang Hang-seonMoon Jeong-HeeAfter Park Man-su's wife asks for a divorce, the conservative salesman decides that he'll no longer play by the rules. Though a series of mishaps, Man-su becomes an unwitting fugitive from justice.A crazy buddy movie. Maybe the best screenplay of that genre since cinema's invention. This feature provides me an amazing feeling: it's so funny and so sad at the same time.
A masterpiece. 10/10 - DirectorLee Jeong-beomStarsWon BinKim Sae-ronKim Tae-hoonA quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.aka Mi.St.Er aka The Man from Nowhere.
Reminds me first movies of John Woo. This was one of the best movies I’ve ever watched so far. Some may find it a bloody/violent movie but to me it was a very heartwarming movie considering the relation between a lone man, also a tormented soul, and an abandoned little girl. - DirectorKyu-maan LeeStarsPark Yong-wooRyu Seung-ryongSung Dong-ilThe film is based on a true case from the early 1990s that is known among Koreans as the "disappearance of the frog children." In 1991, five elementary school students told their parents that they were going to hang out on a nearby mountain to catch frogs. They went missing.I have seen a lot of crime movies. This one with The Chaser and Memories of Murder is the best ever made.
Novelty in this suspenseful movie is the treatment of the relations with the media. It's a good idea from director to introduce some questions of ethics.
What a pleasure to be drawn into a story by such intelligent writing and outstanding acting. The story is told with impressive direction, plenty of details and realism to hook in most people. There's a real sense of place and time.
Can the movie be as beautiful, but at the same time be ugly.
Like any dark mystery, the film simply raises questions, and gets the viewer to care about what happened to the kids.
Characters of parents, TV producer, professor, children, detectives, wives and many others, each and every one is so well casted it's hard to find anything to criticize.
The biggest pro for this feature is that they keep all the characters human by giving them a soft side. Nobody is either extremely good or bad, they just are humans making stupid choices and having to pay the price for it.
You have to see it to believe how perfect it is. - DirectorSuh-Goon LeeStarsRyu Seung-ryongLee Yo-wonLee Dong-wookThe Recipe centers on a TV producer searching for the recipe for an enchanting spicy bean-curd stew--and its elusive creator. Producer/presenter Choi Yu-jin smells a scoop when he learns that the last request of mass murderer and famed fugitive Kim Jong-gu before he was executed in February 2009 was for a bowl of dwinjang jjigae (beancurd stew). Choi discovers Kim was arrested at the tiny Sanjang Restaurant in a mountain pine forest outside Seoul, while eating a bowl of dwinjang jjigae so delicious that it reduced him to a state of pure bliss. Choi discovers that the soup was made not by the restaurant's owner but by a mysterious young woman, Jang Hye-jin, who turned up one day with a suitcase and was taken in by the owner. Choi becomes obsessed with finding Jang, who's since disappeared, and tracing her precise ingredients and preparation method.10/10. Great story, intelligent screenplay, wrote in a sensible way. Fantastic narrative and visual construction. (as comics or a manga, there is even a short animation in the middle)
If a movie could be a pure poem, it could be this feature.
The movie starts with the last words of a notorious murderer before his execution: a request to have the soybean soup he had eaten before his arrest.... So, a crazy TV producer's quest is now beginning. He's looking for the mysterious recipe of this awesome Doenjang soup.
(Doenjang is a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. Its name literally means "thick paste" in Korean. Doenjang is considered one of the essential condiment for base sauces of authentic Korean cuisine.)
In addition to the Graal Quest mentionned above, by means of "belles images" of mother nature and beautiful places all over the country, the movie tells the story of people who become truly great by virtue of their restrained emotions, unacceptable differences and unrequited desires and who are so inept at being happy that they are comical, vulnerable, adorable and funny.

Nothing in her hands, nowhere to go, the womans empty eyes meet with round eyes of the eleven year-old boy. He regards the woman as another person wholl leave and does not put any effort into getting to know her. Every chance he finds, the boy scolds the woman, saying she eats too much, sleeps like a pig and uses up all of the utilities. The two of them are neck and neck with complaints until she learns of the boys sad history and he discovers her diabetes. The boy has already had 10 stepmothers in the past. Out of the blue the boys father shows up and begins beating the boy. She tries to stop him and they find themselves on common ground. A warm relationship between the two begins to build up slowly, not aware of the eventual separation that is just around the corner.
