1. A Moment to Remember
Korean Movie - 2004
Composer Kim Tae Won smoothed my soul with his music. I wish he did more works, but unfortunately, he did not compose any other films. The song "Fairytale," sung by Gummy, was terrific,c and it is still amazing to this day.

2. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring
Korean Movie - 2003
Composer Ji Bark blends his music perfectly into the cinematography. The song at the end of the film summed up the mood for me "Jeongseon Arirang," sung b Kim Young Im. It is entrancing.
