One of the most interesting and original Korean films of 2008 is categorized as a screwball comedy, but in truth it's rather hard to describe.

KOREAN MOVIE REVIEWS FOR 2016 Two lower-budget films from early 2016, Spirits' Homecoming and Dong-ju: The Portrait of a Poet, provoked much discussion and performed much better at the box-office than anyone anticipated.
