FWIW… The movie that made south korea most relatable to me as a westerner is this obscure little rom-com-action flick called Spy Girl. I’ve watched a ton of much better south korean movies, before and after seeing Spy Girl, but this one weird little fluffy movie was oddly the most relatable to my experience. Its about North Korea sending a spy to the south and comic hijinx ensue. English translations of some idioms are poor, but do not ruin the story.
