One Sentence Synopsis: An assassin tries to get rid of a famous pop star while being chased by the cops.
Mini Review: I found this movie a little hard to watch. There was little flow, but it was funny and entertaining.
Year Released: 2013
Cast: T.O.P., Han Ye Ri, Kim Yoo Jung, Yoom Je Moon, Cho Seong Ha, Park Sung Woong, Um Tae Goo, and Dong Hyun Bae
One Sentence Synopsis: A North Korean spy is sent in to kill defectors, but ends up on the run.
Mini Review: It was really action packed but in a thoughtful way. Action movies can sometimes get carried away but this one maintained meaningful and plausible action that enhanced the story rather than distracting from it. T.O.P. always makes a very good bad boy.

One Sentence Synopsis: A father who is the best face reader in Korea wants to provide a better life for his son by reading faces and helping the government and King.
Mini Review: This movie got to me y'all. It was well written and well acted. It wasn't what I was expecting in the beginning. I thought it'd start off being kind of depressing but it was very comedic. It was just the right amount of funny at the right moments. It also had very thoughtful amounts of action, but most of all it was heartbreaking especially at the end. This is a must watch movie.

One Sentence Synopsis: Depicts the plot to kill King Jeonjo by Queen Jungsoo.
Mini Review: This is a very well written and well acted historical action movie. The thing that I liked best about the acting was that it was all very quiet. Usually in action movies and historical dramas there's a lot of noise but everyone in this movie was quiet and methodical, giving a rather haunting feeling while watching it. It didn't have any cheap action thrills, there were very thoughtful bits of action, and the movie's subplots were well hashed out.
Year Released: 2013
Cast: Yu Oh Seong, Kim Woo Bin, Joo Jin Mo, Jung Ho Bin, Lee Cheol Min
One Sentence Synopsis: Like The Godfather but in Korean. lol
Mini Review: It was really choppy, but not even in a way that could be flowed like the first one. I think what it was missing was a narrator. Even though the first one was choppy, the narrator kind of helped it have some fluidity. Also, the flashback was totally lost on me, but I think all this might call for re-watching it. The plot was good though and so was the acting (obviously).
Year Released: 2013
Cast: Lee Min Ki,
Where I Watched: DramaFever
One Sentence Synopsis: Follows the break-up and make-up of an ordinary couple.
Mini Review: The synopsis makes it sound boring but it was actually lovely to watch. The story flowed well and all the events seemed completely plausible, unlike that of most K-Dramas.
Secretly, Greatly
Year Released: 2013
Cast: Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Hyun Woo, Park Min Ki
Where I Watched: DramaFever
One Sentence Synopsis:
Mini Review: In all honesty the plot of the movie wasn't the thing that impressed me and kept me interested. Instead it was the acting. All three leads had to pull off dual roles and be convincing at both. Especially to my surprise Lee Hyun Woo was really great in a serious role. My only time experiencing his acting was through To The Beautiful You, plus he's really bubbly in real life. However, he pulled off the spy/assassin role with true finesse.

One Sentence Synopsis:
Mini Review: I found this movie extremely hilarious. I liked seeing a different side to Joo Won even though he was still the hero, he was much more relatable. It doesn't catch you the whole time but the more you get into the movie the more you enjoy it.

One Sentence Synopsis: Young swimming rivals meet again in high school and have to not only fight for their swimming titles but the girl they like.
Mini Review: Really enjoyed this movie. I really enjoy sports movies so this one was high on my watch list. I was so happy to see it especially since some of favortie young actors were part of the cast. The movie itself is funny at times, tense, at times, heartbreaking at times, but the great things about is that you get to see the protagonists grow up.
