Sometimes it's just fun to watch these type of films and wait for Korean cliche scenes hehe especially the drama
For more worthy Korean films, something like Old Boy I guess

Haven't seen it, but I've heard that A Tale of Two Sisters is also a good Korean horror film.

Like you, I've only seen the American remake, but I've heard that the original is really good. It has a 7.3 on IMDb and an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Korean version of Tale of 2 Sisters is more creepy for me...something about the look. The remake is okay too.
I haven't seen remake of Old Boy, was not really keen or curious to see it

it was enjoyable popcorn flick, though I am also surprised that this would motivate someone into korean cinematography and not something like Oldboy or Memories of murder, Brotherhood of war was quite touching; I have still Wailing in my watchlist looking into it
what I don't like about their movies is they drag too much, seem like it's mandatory for korean movie to have at least 2 hours even with simplest plot, grr

As a zombie fan I really enjoyed this movie. I get tired of Hollywood taking movies from another country and remaking them. Always have to improve them, can't leave them alone. I hope they leave this one alone

It accomplishes what it's trying to do pretty well; it's a 7/10. What really grates is that this is rated higher than The Wailing, which is a much better Korean horror film in all respects and came out at about the same time.

The Man From Knowhere is a very good korean action thriller. I also liked the the Korean version of the hong kong film "a better tomorrow". It's not as good as the original Hong Kong film but entertaining on it's own merits.

That's a nice list. While we're listing great Korean movies I must recommend 'Save the Green Planet'. It's absolutely mental. Go watch it. Quick!
