• Under the Queen's Umbrella (4/21/24, too long, irritating)
• Queen of Tears (4/28/24; good, same female lead as My Liberation Notes)
• Nobody Knows (crime/detective/religion; probably not worth watching twice)
• The Golden Spoon (5/19/24)
• Extraordinary You (5/31/24 long, slow, interesting, good cast, odd)
• At a Distance Spring is Green (6/4/24, good enough, cute lead)
• Vincenzo (6/17/24, second time)
• The Fiery Priest (6/23/24, third time)
• 1% of Something (4/26/24, straightforward and sweet)
• Lovely Runner (7/4/24, not always clear and sensible; nice ending; once is enough)

• The Beauty Inside (3/2/22, second time; recognized lots of actors now)
• Seo Bok (3/1/22 sci fi film from 2021, rented online)
• Mission Possible (rented online; spy comedy/farce; weird)
• Parasite (in the theatre, didn't love it; saw it second time, with Brie, still didn't love it)
• Gangnam Blues (watched as soon as it came on DramaFever; too rough, didn't like)
• Secretly Greatly (6/29/15, watched to see the lead from My Love from Another Star, Kim Soo-Hyun. It's a bit rough, but very good)
  • watched again in early December, after "The Slingshot" to see one of the actors—Park Ki-Woong, who played the nerdy stock-market whiz.
  • Watched again to see Lee Hyun-Woo, who was one of two male leads in Moorim School.
• A Werewolf Boy (August 2015; insubstantial and too sad)

• A Man and a Woman (watched on the plane on the way back from England 9/26/16, wrote this)
• "The Technicians," (a.k.a. Con Men), 11/20/16. It's good. Light. Heist, relationships, sneaking, printing, art, acting. Actor from Secretly Greatly and Moorim School in it.
• Windstruck (11/30/16, with Jang Hyuk and Jun Ji-hyun, 2004) This has Jang Hyuk as an Arlo-Guthrie hippie, and a knight in armor, in fantasy scenes.
• The Beauty Inside (2/9/17) worth watching again! Joyce recommended it; it's on Netflix.
• Late Autumn (1/12/18), mostly English, commented here
• The Piper (5/26/18 village, post-war, mystery, creepy, rats, don't watch it)
• Always (Ji Sub, physical fist fight, tooo much)
• The Villainess (1/3/22, WAY too much blood and fighting, but watched to see Sung-Joon)
