At the aspect of South Korean, recommend well-made Top 3 South Korean movies relating to North Korea.

Based on a real story, well showing how South Korean spy contacts North Korea and manipulate the political event between South and North. In the movie, Joo-Seok-Goong (Kim Jung-Eun's oval office) is also described directly which has been never revealed to the world officially) Not too much exaggerated and well-made spy movie. (the main character in this movie looks so normal for Jason bourne so don't just expect dynamic action scene like Bourne Ultimatum)

it's a quite complex story, but going straight to wind up for the end. The main story of this movie is that the military coup occurs confidentially in North Korea and they try to cause the war between south and north. The trigger of war is by special agents of north's coup side to attack Gae-song industrial region (collaborated between south and north for peace) using MSLR which belongs to US forces Korea by capturing. Very funny to see MLSR launching missiles, Apache shooting hell-fires and nuclear missile explosion at the area of east sea of Korea. It's too hard to consider this story possible to happen in reality but could accept the story from the cinematic perspective. This is good killing time, well-made thing.

Jason Bourne style, each special agent between south and north fights, collaborate in Berlin for their sole purpose. North Korea's spy appears to be very strong like Jason Bourne but South Korea's spy turns out somewhat realistic. (He cannot beat up enemies by hands but needs guns always.) It is more likely to be a spy movie, not an action film.
