"The Suspect"

What is it about: A top North Korea special force agent, Ji Dong-chul, defects to South Korea in an attempt to avenge the deaths of his wife and daughter. While living incognito, Dong-chul is framed for the murder of Chairman Park, who he was working as a personal chauffeur for. Now the prime suspect, Dong-chul must go on the run to evade authority while uncovering the truth behind the murder.

Why you should watch it: Gong Yoo from "Goblin" and "Train to Busan" stars as rugged spy Ji Dong-chul. He prepared for the role by going on a diet for three months and practicing Russian martial art Systema.


"A Hard Day"

What is it about: While trying to cover up a murder that he caused, detective Gun-soo discovers that there is a witness to the killing and is now being blackmailed by that mysterious person.

Why you should watch it: Its unrelenting suspense with flashes of humour has even led to a Chinese remake, "Peace Breaker" starring Aaron Kwok and Yu Ai Lei.


"My Brilliant Life"

What is it about: Despite learning that their son is born with Progeria Syndrome, which causes him to age rapidly and prematurely, young couple Mira and Dae-su still try their best to raise him in a loving environment. Now 16, Ah-Reum decides to write about his parents' love story as a gift to them on his following birthday.

Why you should watch it: If you enjoyed the 2009 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer "Paa", chances are that you would also enjoy this movie, with both centring on a boy with Progeria Syndrome.
