Top 11 Most Heartfelt Korean Movies That Will Bring Tears to Your Eyes

The Most Beautiful Day (On Your Wedding Day) is a coming-of-age romance with a classic storyline, but unlike many, it doesn’t offer the “happy ending” viewers expect. The story begins when Woo Yeon (Kim Young Kwang) holds Seung Hee’s (Park Bo Young) wedding invitation, the girl he once loved with all his heart. Through a series of flashbacks, the film unfolds their 10-year love story, spanning high school, university, and adulthood. Despite being together for so long, Woo Yeon and Seung Hee ultimately couldn’t be together. The plot is somewhat similar to 'Our Times,' but this one tells the story from the perspective of a man with unrequited love and no perfect conclusion.

The film doesn’t leave a lasting impression through its storyline, but rather through its nostalgic and emotional experiences, which easily resonate with the audience. It beautifully captures the bittersweet emotions of young love and experiences that can only be felt in adolescence—like the determination to attend the same university as the one you love, or those sudden summer showers that stir your heart...

When Mother is Gone begins with simple, everyday scenes depicting the life of a mother, Ae Soon (Ko Du Shim), and her 30-year-old son, In Gyu (Kim Sung Kyun), who has a developmental disability. Each day, Ae Soon wakes up early to prepare meals for her son and even helps him with basic tasks like brushing his teeth, shaving, and changing clothes. Together, they work at a small roadside shop to make ends meet. For 30 years, Ae Soon has dedicated her life to caring for In Gyu, repeating these daily routines. She is diagnosed with a brain tumor and only has a few months left to live.

Ae Soon has spent her life living for her son, and as she nears death, all she wants is to pass away at the same time as him, fearing that he will be left alone, without anyone to care for him. Her desperate plea at the church deeply moves the audience, as her words are not those of a person clinging to life for selfish reasons, but of a mother who simply wants more time to care for her son. The sacred love of Ae Soon is beautifully captured in a scene where mother and son sit together on the beach.

The film captures the pure moments of first love between a group of friends in 1991, bringing back cherished memories when a radio host receives a letter recounting childhood recollections. Unforgettable (Pure Love) recreates the innocent first love and pure friendships of five friends from 1991. One of them, now a radio host, receives a letter from another old friend, and all the unforgettable memories come flooding back. For me, the movie is more touching because of the friendship among the five friends. The romance between the two main characters takes a backseat, yet the story becomes more beautiful through their friendship.

The radio station serves as a bridge between the past and the present, allowing them to revisit beautiful, unforgettable memories while also reflecting on the many events from 23 years ago. The film has received positive feedback from young audiences, especially with the involvement of Kim So Hyun and D.O. from EXO.

He has a young daughter named Ye Seung, who is the opposite of him: intelligent, bright, loving, and respectful. Despite facing numerous hardships, especially financially, the bond between father and daughter is filled with love and closeness. One day, Yong Goo, in an attempt to buy a Sailor Moon backpack that his daughter desires, finds himself wrongfully accused of murder and child abuse, with the victim being the daughter of the city’s police chief.

Yong Goo is immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death without a trial. In cell number 7, what seemed like a period of misery and darkness actually becomes the happiest, most magical, and fortunate time for the father and daughter. The greatest lesson the film imparts is the importance of love, trust in others, and living a life full of happiness while spreading that joy to everyone. This is one of the best, most profound films I’ve ever watched, with emotions and layers of meaning that can only be fully appreciated after years of repeated viewings.

Inspired by the real-life case of Na Young from 2008, Hope depicts the journey of So Won (Lee Re), a young girl who, like the real-life Na Young, was a victim of horrific abuse. At just 8 years old, Na Young was violently attacked by a drunken man while walking alone to school on a rainy day. The film portrays her struggle to recover emotionally and physically after the trauma. One of the most enraging moments in the film is when the criminal mocks the situation, saying, "How long do you think I'll stay here? I’ll be out soon." Later, when the judge delivers his verdict, the perpetrator is sentenced to only 12 years in prison because he claimed to have no memory of the event. In real life, Na Young not only suffered irreparable physical harm but also lost the ability to become a mother. Despite the defendant's claim of mental incapacity due to intoxication, evidence from the victim's injuries contradicts his defense. Additionally, flaws in the prosecution's evidence-gathering process compounded the emotional distress experienced by Na Young.
