Korean Horror!

친구야 안녕!!

I'm sure most of you are very busy with your school assignments and your revising by now! (Been there, done that!) I know exams are important, but don't stress yourselves. Let's relax at times, shall we? Have a cup of tea or watch movies to calm your senses.

As you guys know, there is NO KCC session next week. However, it doesn't hinder you to have a good time! Here is some KOREAN HORROR/THRILLER MOVIES recommendations for you if you decide to take a break from studying and have a good (cough) *creepy* time. So, let's see..

1. The Cat
The Cat (2011-Korean Movie)-p1.jpg

Remember our lovely Park Min Young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal, City Hunter, Time Slip Dr. Jin)? Yes, she is starring in this movie as So-Yeon, a girl who works at a pet shop where she has to adopt a cat whose owner died in a mysterious accident. And from then on, the nightmare will begin... 

So, boys and girls, if you like cats, you SHOULD watch this movie! It may change your perception about this "lovely" creature. *evil grin*

2. I Saw the Devil

This movie is totally for those who are into some actions, blood and gruesome images! The protagonist of the movie is Lee Byung Hun (Iris, G.I Joe), Korea's top actor. Here, he acts as a secret agent (again) who tracks down a serial rapist/murderer who mutilated his fiancée. While this movie has earned a lot of movie awards and nominations, I don't recommend those with weak hearts to watch this! Honestly, the story line is pretty disturbing although the actors/actresses have amazing acting!

3. The Case of Itaewon Homicide

Finally a movie based on true story! It's South-Korea's most famous cold-case file where two American teenagers are suspected to kill a Korean college student. It's referred as random "American Gang Style" killing. Both of the suspects were later released in 1999. 10 years after the murder, the case was reopened. Upon the renewed interest of the case, a blockbuster called The Case of Itaewon Homicide was released starring Jang Geun Seok and Shin Seung Hwan as Arthur Patterson and Edward Lee respectively. In this movie, Jang Geun Seok will speak in English and it will totally put him in different light from his usual cold-but-kind roles.

So guys, have fun watching and don't forget study, okay?
See you in the next KCC session!
