The sequel to 2018’s Believer has left fans more than dissatisfied. It’s already an established fact that the only good thing about the film is Han Hyo-Joo’s performance, which has taken over social media for her badassery alone. The film attempts to fill the gaps like plastering over the Mona Lisa, making a terrible sequel to a well-received film. What made Believer a big hit was the impressive cast, the action-packed story that kept you on the edge of your seats, as well as the impactful ending. Believer 2 begins before that open ending, leading up to the moments there, and then completely ruins it. We suppose you can’t trust anything with Believer in the title right now. If you’re looking for some fantastic Korean thrillers to make yourself feel better after seeing this blunder, here’s the perfect list for you.

The ever-reliable thespian Song Kang-ho, after a big 2013, in which he featured in Snowpiercer, The Face Reader and The Attorney, had a quiet 2014 before appearing in Lee Joon-ik’s smash hit period drama The Throne and Kim Jee-woon’s Colonial Era action-thriller The Age of Shadows. This year, Song seems to be hitting his stride with the following films.
Taxi Driver
