The first season made Friends a household name, but the second season is what made Friends must see TV.

Pandora
(2016)
|
Park Jin-hai
|
Pandora is not an easy movie to watch. It lends a painful patina of the real-world Sewol tragedy that claimed the lives of over 300 people in 2014.

The Last Princess
(2016)
|
Yun Suh-young
|
The Last Princess is a tear jerker, not in a far-fetched way, but in a way so subtle that you don't realize you're crying until you feel it trickle down your cheeks.

Phantom Detective

Thirst
(2009)
|
Lee Hyo-won
|
Thirst, like other great movies, makes you forget you're watching one, and you won't be able to stop it from shaking up every cell in your body unless you dart for the exit.
