Can anyone recommend similar Korean films?


I love the action in the original Korean version?
All I can find is the love/dramas from Korea online.
I am interested in movie similar to whasango.
Can anyone help?

The closest Korean movie that can be compared to Volcano High School that I have watched so far is Arahan. Hope that helps...

Thank you kindly for the information.
Arahan.
I will most definitely have to check that out.

Arahan is piece of *beep*

Have a look on the 'Neukdaeui Yuhok' the very next film of the same director of Volcano High.

Or check a more realistic hard-boiled one.
'Once Upon a Time in High School (DVD title)'
'Spirit of Jeet Keun Do (International: English title)'
Got rate 7.5 out of 10 ten in IMBd. So, much better than Volcano High.

What are you talking about!!??
Arahan packs the necessary classic Kung-Fu movie formula with exaggerated therefore extremely funny action scenes to make every aspect of the movie to work!
However, if you're looking for serious/realistic action movie, Arahan is not your pick.

They're not Korean, but you might want to check out Versus and Azumi by Ryuhei Kitamura. They're spastically great action flicks that are a lot of fun to watch. Plus the action scenes are fantastic.
