Director:Hwang Dong-hyuk Despite being a little too dry and slow at times, The Fortress is a stunning historical action drama. Its characters are rich and compelling, and the attention to detail that makes a large-scale story such as this one come to life as more than just a history lesson is more often than not remarkable. The Fortress doesn’t dem...
Director:Ryoo Seung-wan It’s easy to see Arahan as essentially a superhero comedy,even if it’s sometimes a little overwhelmed with characters and side stories, but its overwhelming entertainment value cannot be denied. Arahan brings together a sweet-but-kinda-dumb cop (Ryoo Seung-bum) and a dazzling martial arts warrior (Yoon So-yi) to defeat a pow...
Director:Seong Do-joon An affecting and decidedly sweet love story, Wish You involves a singer-songwriter (Kang In-soo) and a keyboardist who also happens to work at a major record company (Lee Sang).

Director:Chang You-jeong Two estranged brothers (Ma Dong-seok and Lee Dong-hwi) are forced to deal with each other for the sake of their father’s funeral.
