K-Movie – The Chaser
Ex-cop pimp Jung-ho is irritated because his girls keep disappearing without clearing their debts. One night, he gets a call from a customer and sends Mi-jin. Jung-ho realizes the phone number of the customer matches that of the calls the missing girls got last. As something smells fishy, he searches for her. During his search, Jung-ho dents a car in the alley. When Jung-ho spots blood splattered on the driver’s shirt, he senses the man, Young-min, is the suspect. After an intense chase, Jung-ho catches Young-min. But because of Jung-ho’s pretense as a cop, they are both taken to the police station. At the station, the man bluntly confesses he has killed the missing women, and the last girl, Mi-jin, may still be alive. As the whole police force is obsessed with a random search for corpses, Jung-ho is the only one who believes Mi-jin is still alive. With only 12 hours left to detain the serial killer without a warrant, Jung-ho’s hunt begins, searching for Mi-jin entrapped in a place nobody knows. (Synopsis from RUKorean)
This is another great action movie that I have seen after Typhoon and Running Wild. The ending is quite unexpected but I don’t want to spoil it here!!
. This is the 2nd best selling film in Korea till September 2008. So, I bet this is a ‘must see’ movie or you’ll regret it later!

K-Movie – Humming
Jun-seo is tired of the relationship he is in with Mi-yeon. But one day she is in an accident and falls into a coma. Then, unbelievably Mi-yeon visits him the next day just like any other ordinary day. He starts searching for other traces of Mi-yeon and realizes how much he loved her. (Synopsis from KoreanMovie)
This is very recommended movie especially for those who likes sad movies (including me la.. hehe). I almost cry whenever I see how hard Jun-seo is trying to meet Mi-yeon again. For me, the saddest scent is when Jun-seo threw all his books and clothes just to find a card that Mi-yeon left to him. There’s also a scent when Jun-seo reminds Mi-yeon’s friends to call him whenever they see her. They must though that Jun-seo is crazy right? He did all that although he knew that Mi-yeon is in coma. So, what else can I say? That’s the prove of his love to Mi-yeon..
