Award-winning Korean Mystery Movies

One thing we love about Korean movies here at Viki is the ever-present element of mystery. Whether it's the race to find a killer who's always one step ahead, or a slow revealing of the hero's tragic childhood, the best Korean films have a way of pulling us in and making us want to solve the mysteries ourselves.  For this week's Korean Movie Marathon, we've picked out two Korean mystery movies that are not to be missed.

Antarctic Journal (남극일기) stars two incredibly talented and accomplished actors, Yoo Ji Tae and Song Kang Ho, who we remember from famous Korean films directed by acclaimed director Park Chan-Wook, JSA: Joint Security Area and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Watch as these two antarctic explorers attempt to reach the remotest point on Earth, but encounter dangerous, supernatural forces that threaten their survival. Part mystery, part action thriller, this 2005 film will keep you on your toes. This movie is available to viewers worldwide, except in select countries.

301/302 (삼공일/삼공이) is the unique story of a pair of apartment neighbors who are the definition of incompatible. One is an anorexic writer who keeps to herself and the other, a chef who loves to feed everyone around her. Both of these women are obsessive-compulsive, but meet life's challenges in different ways because of things that happened to them in the past. Their tense interactions make normal roommate arguments look like child's play, but do they eventually learn from one another's experience? This movie, an Official Sundance Film Festival Selection, is available to viewers worldwide except for those in the USA, China, and Korea.
