On the Big Screen: My Top 10 Korean Movies

I love watching movies, comedies are my favorite but some times I like to watch action or drama, thrillers are also good but I can't watch scary movies. With all this I started to look for Korean Movies, after my love for k-pop and k-dramas wasn't enough, and I really got hang up on it. Some actors I have seeing before on dramas or in variety shows where on the movies, and a new perspective in cinematography came to me, International Movies are much better than the typical Blockbuster movies that you can usually like on the Occidental Industry. Not all the movies that I watched where well phrased on the Korean Media, but I don't usually go with what people say. The list is on the order that I watched each movie, from the last one to the first one, not by which I liked more or by the year that it was release. And with all these said, here is My Top 10 Korean Movies.
