You don't want to see R-Point. It wasn't very good. I turned it off nearmy half-way through. But Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance were good, the former being the better of the two. I've also seen Unborn, but Forgotten. I think that one was Korean, but I could be wrong.
I found Bunshinsaba pretty weak, fairly entertaining though.

The BEST (IMO..Obviously..) korean films are the Yeogo Goedam series.
(Aka, the Whispering Corridors series).
Not only are they frightning, but they're artistic, and so beautiful.. They're masterpieces.
There are currently four to the series.
Whispering Corridors (3/5 stars)
Memento Mori (4.5/5)
Wishing Stairs (4.5/5)
Voice (4/5)
They're dramatic, heartfelt, and the characters are so relatable.. I love how in these films, human nature and human flaws are realized, but not in a corny kid flick way.
I still cant believe I've yet to buy the set.. I cant live without them.. O_O
"Friend" is about 4 guys and how their lives changed from child to adult... and how gangs affected their lives.
If you are into romantic movies, the Classic, which is probably my second favorite korean movie is a fantastic movie.
Can't quite think of any others offhand, but these two are my favorites. If you haven't seen either... go...!

You should check out a korean boxing film called Crying Fist. It has the actor who played the main character in Oldboy and it has everything, action, humour and heart.
I would say its my favourite korean film; 'Host' I loved, 'Oldboy' I didn't like and thats all I've seen from that part of the world.
