If you loved Once Upon a Time in High School, try A Dirty Carnival
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Yoo Ha, and they both carry the cozy, cult, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Once Upon a Time in High School, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

You collect debts, dreaming of gangster glory in the Seoul underworld. But an old friend resurfaces, stirring loyalties. Yoo Ha's brutal neonoir folds back on itself. Its violence lingers.
