Oh well...so why is my first one titled "Purging of the soul"? Well because that is what I just did. It's no surprise to anyone who knows me that I like to have a good cry once and a while. I think it's healty, and it also gets all that "gook" out of your tear ducts. :) Anyway, so when I am ready to have a good soul purging, the one thing I can always rely on is a good Korean drama. Tonight, it was "Tae Guk Gi - The Brotherhood of War." If you haven't seen it (and you like a good cry) then I HIGHLY recommend it. The effects are even more worse if you have siblings, mainly brothers (hence the name). Here are two movie posters for it:

Now this movie gets me going from the very beginning and it's a good slow, steady tearing until the end where you just end up letting the flood gates open. Another movie that totally gets to me is entitled "Sad Movie." Can the title be any more obvious? But think about it...if a Korean movie is actually titled "Sad Movie" then you know that it HAS to be depressing. It starts off all hunkey dorey happy, but then just ends up kicking you in the balls! They're sneaky..they break you down slowly and you don't even know they're doing it. Here are two movie posters for this reaching for the kleenex (not that way) flick:
Alright...so I highly recommend you add these two movies to your collection. And now you know!

I don't know if these movies will bring you to tears, but since you recommended two Korean movies, my all-time favorite Korean movies are
Chingoo (friends) starring Yoo Oh Sung, and Jang Dong Gun. It's about a group of friends growing up, and two of them end up being in rival gangs.
and
My Sassy Girl starring Jeon JiHyun and Cha Tae Hyun.
I don't know how you may get access to these movies, but if you can, I'd suggest you watch them.
Cool...I'll have to look into those movies.
