No Oldboy? Not sure if its entirely a horror or thriller, but its worth watcjing if youre looking for dark Korean movies

Good call on Oldboy. I personally consider it a dark drama, but I can understand why someone would classify it differently.

The Man From Nowhere is an amazing crime thriller.

I watched The Wailing because EVERYONE was raving about it but honestly it's a bit overrated.

I came to recommend A Tale of Two Sisters! Since you already have it, I'd add The Host and, to a far lesser extent, Cello.
