If you loved Friend: The Great Legacy, try A Love
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. A Love has roughly 3.4× fewer votes than Friend: The Great Legacy — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kwak Kyung-taek, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Friend: The Great Legacy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Love is
You're a dockworker with hands built for breaking things, not holding them, and then you fall for a schoolgirl who laughs like wind chimes in a storm. Years later, you're out, she's changed, the city's tighter, and love feels like a knife you keep pressing into your own ribs. The film ends with rain on a bus window, smudging the world into gray.
