Castaway on the Moon is one of the most lighthearted, least cynical films I've probably ever watched. It's great.

There's Chan-wook Park's famous vengeance trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance and Oldboy, and The Handmaiden is really good too. He also made one of my favorite vampire movies ever, Thirst.

Also on the crime/action thriller front you have movies like The Chaser and I Saw The Devil, and The Man From Nowhere and The Yellow Sea.

No one mentioned Memories of Murder which is possibly my favorite SK movie ever. Such a great investigative serial killer movie by a great director, Joon-ho Bong (who also directed Snowpiercer, The Host, Mother and Okja) and I just recently watched his latest, Parasite, which was also excellent.

A lot of these movies star Kang-ho Song, who tends to show up in quality flicks.
