This is what I've watched in the last week and a half.

First time watches:

A Bittersweet Life (2005)

My Mighty Princess (2008)

Monster (2014)

Train to Busan (2016)

Rampant (2018)

The Witch: Subversion (2018)

Parasite (2019)

Minari (2020)

 

Rewatches:

Shadowless Sword (2005)

Man from Nowhere (2010)

War of the Arrows (2011)

Memories of the Sword (2015)

 

I'm out of control! Can't stop. If it's not Korean I don't want nothing to do with it. I prefer Martial Arts/Action but I'll watch anything.

Not all 21st century, but this list features plenty of must-sees that should keep you going for a while! -

 

Perfect reference list. But how many of these are easily available?

I checked my list of Korean movies I've rated and found some of the greats that I didn't see on your list. So if you've not seen them, you must do so immediately!!! LOL

Crying Fist --- boxing

Joint Security Area --- crime/war

Oldboy --- crime

Once Upon A Time In High School --- drama/martial arts (sort of)

Brotherhood --- war

The Front Line --- war

71 Into The Fire --- war

Arahan --- martial arts

Bichunmoo --- martial arts

Fighter In The Wind --- martial arts

H --- crime

I Saw The Devil --- crime

Masquerade --- comedy/drama

Memories Of Murder --- crime

Missing --- crime

Nowhere To Hide --- crime

Shiri --- crime

Sword In The Moon --- martial arts

Sympathy For Mr Vengeance --- crime

The City Of Violence --- martial arts

Musa --- martial arts

My Wife Is A Gangster 1,2,3 --- martial arts/comedy

 

Not sure if they're all 21st century, but near enough.

Enjoy!!!

Ok I'm about to start The Chaser first cause it's free. Then I'm going to rent Yellow Sea right after.

It's time to catch up to ALOT of Korean movies, especially the 2010s. My interest in Korean cinema started in 2006 but somehow faded in the early 2010s, now's the the time to dig deep and behold.
