Two Must-Watch K-Movie If You Enjoy Stories Related To North and South Korea


1. "Northern Limit Line"



Native Title: 연평해전
Year: 2015
Genre: Action, Military, War.
Trailer: click here

The movie is based on a true story. It hilights the events that occured in June 2002. When the 2002 FIFA World Cup took place, the North Korean navy deployed two of their patrol boats towards the Northern Limit Line, a disputed maritime border near Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea. While carrying out its usual duties, South Korean patrol boat 357 suddenly found itself under surprise attack.

The cast was perfect. The main actor Lee Hyun Woo perfectly portrayed the character he was supposed to represent. It is impossible to be dissappointed by the cast. I would recomment this movie to anyone without hesitation!

2. "Secretly Greatly"


Native Title: 은밀하게 위대하게
Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Tragedy
Year: 2013
Trailer: click here

The story is based on a webtoon of the same name. The plot revolves around a group of North Korean spies who were dispatched to South Korea. They gradually get used to life in a small south korean town until they receive a "secret and great" mission sent by North Korea.

The movie goes on for around two hours. The first half of the movie (1h) is light-hearted and funny. The second half (1h) is serious and dark. It is very interesting to see how they get used to their life in South Korea. It was touching but heartbreaking.  The three spies have a unique and distinctive personality. The cast was amazing. Lee Hyun Woo and Kim Soo Hyun were perfect.
