You're welcome to give 1 or 10 or as many as you like. Personally I'll probably stop reading someone's list if it tops 50 though. Ratings help too, if you're so inclined.

I ask because I haven't seen that many South Korean movies yet. At least not enough to have a top 5. #3 올드보이 #2 기생충 #1 마더

South Korea seems to still have strong feeling about the Japanese Occupation that ran from 1910 to the end of WWII in 1945. Assassination is one of two of my choices (the other is Age Of Shadows) set during that period. Even though SK can whip Hollywood at the Action Movie game no matter the setting, these two historicals (and others I can name) are not only filmed with great creative action scenes but are loaded with emotional content - they are made with passion, another difference with the technical coldness of much of American action output.

Whichever way I cut it, Secret Sunshine (Lee Chang-dong, 2007) is at the top of my list.
As for the other four, feel free to pick any out these essential twelve. It’ll be like a choose-your-own-adventure story, with the added bonus that you won’t encounter the same director twice.
The Harmonium in my Memory (Lee Young-Jae, 1999)
My Sassy Girl (Kwak Jae-young, 2001)
Wanee & Junah (Kim Yong-gyun, 2001)
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance (Park Chan-wook, 2002)
A Tale of Two Sisters (Kim Jee-woon, 2003)
Memories of Murder (Bong Joon-ho, 2003)
Spider Forest (Song Il-gon, 2004)
My Dear Enemy (Lee Yoon-ki, 2008)
Castaway on the Moon (Lee Hae-jun, 2009)
Very Ordinary Couple (Noh Deok, 2013)
A Quiet Dream (Zhang Lu, 2016)
The Villainess (Jung Byung-gil, 2017)

9/10 I Saw the Devil The Wailing 1987: When the Day Comes 8/10 Spider Forest Memento Mori I've not even heard of any of those, apart from I Saw the Devil, which is on my pretty extensive watchlist. All worth a look, and very different from each other. They’re mainly genre films, with the exception of 1987 which is a potent historical political thriller. For me The Wailing was probably the surprise of the lot, yet I Saw the Devil left more of an impression. Outside my top 5 would be ‘The Chaser’ 2008, which tone and style is similar to ‘I Saw the Devil’ and is directed by Na Hong-jin, who also directed ‘The Wailing’. Memento Mori is a haunting school drama with a tragic love story at its core and supernatural thrills. It’s the second film in the Whispering Corridors’ films. A couple films I’m sitting on to watch; the piper (2015) windstruck the spy gone north the berlin file the beauty inside
