Asian Movies - Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai etc

 
Apple of my eye. I watched this korean movie and I was like so heartbroken at the end. Trust me, very few movies about teenage love can actually get to me like this movie
 
Internal Affairs Trilogy (Korean) - If you liked "The Departed" you will like this one.
I saw the devil (Korean)
 
From what I have seen:

Seppuku (Japanese)
A Fugitive from the Past (Japanese)
The Man from Nowhere (Korean)
J.S.A. Joint Security Area (Korean)
The Chaser (Korean)
Operation Condor/Armor of God 2 (HK)
Raise the Red Lantern (Chinese)
A Chinese Ghost Story (Chinese)

Neither the name is Internal Affairs, Nor is it Korean.
It is Infernal Affairs, from HK cinema. (served as the inspiration for The Departed).

@jith77 that is a solid list. I enjoyed most of the movies in that list and plan on checking out the ones I'm yet to watch.

I'd also recommend the following movies;
Seom aka The Isle
Linda Linda Linda
I Wish I had a Wife

Those some of those thai/indonesian martial arts flicks are great fun to watch too.
