Movie ratings
I love Korean movies as much as I love K-dramas and have been watching them for just as long. Although I do not need to invest the same amount of time, their impact on me is just as deep. Some of my most-loved actors have in fact never done a drama (hi there, Park Hae-il!) and when they finally do (woohoo, Hwang Jung-min!), I can barely suppress my joy.
Here are the K-movies that I’ve watched. Scattered among them are movies without ratings and which make up my Guilt List (aka that growing stash of unwatched movies in my K-bookcase). I hope to finish them before 2011 rolls around!
