    War of the arrows is a Korean action movie, free on YouTube too.

    The blackout seems like a cool Russian action movie too

    Ajeossi also slaps. It's like korean John wick

    Train to Busan is also a classic.

    Steel rain is a surprisingly balanced take on the dprk/rok geopolitics where the north military attempts to assassinate Jong-Un and a loyal special forces agent saves his life by taking him down south while stopping assassins from giving the military coup "reason to retaliate" and invade the south. It shits on America and Japan and presents a patriotic Korean unity in trying and reunite the country on Korean terms and nobody elses.

    The Admiral: Roaring Currents is a medieval Korean movie highlighting one of the greatest admirals in Korean history who single-handedly smashed one of the Japanese invasion attempts.

    The good, the bad, and the weird is a Korean action-comedy taking place in Manchuria during the 20th century, after Japan invaded and annexed Korea. And it's a story talking about three people who learned there's a gigantic resource deposit at a certain place and whoever gets there first can claim all the wealth for themselves or their representative country.
