Hi,

Indeed. TAEGUKGI is the only film in my life (and I'm 40+ , female) I watched more than 2 times (in a short period).

The movie BOM YEOREUM..., I watched 2 times, in one week. So beautiful.

Because of these movies, I got interested in south korean films too.

It's very simple on IMDB to know the best movies around ; just go to -> SEARCH ->POWER SEARCH
I did it this way :
->country of origin : South Korea -> ratings 6,5-10 -> votes +200
->year : 2000-2010 ->exclude tv movies, tv series...
Now click SEARCH and you have a list of about 70 top south korean movies.

You can even select movies that were voted by male or female users !

Top search engine ; thank you IMDB.
