No worries. I took care of the extra thread for you. ^^

Shiri has really good reviews on IMDB. It's one I've had my eye on for a while.

"Myung Wol the Spy" is a romantic comedy and the heroine is a North Korean spy. "As One" is a movie about the two Koreas joining in the... ping-pong Olympics (?) "Secretly, Greatly" is about North Korean spies. That's all I can think of, at the top of my head.

Not sure if this movie fits what you're looking for but I really liked the movie Joint Security Area. It's about an incident that happens on the border between SK and NK which is how you get to learn about the relations between SK and NK soldiers involved. I'd also seocnd Secretly, Greatly which I haven't seen yet but heard a lot of positive reviews about.

Crossing - about a defector. it's been a while since I've seen it though
Secret Reunion - KDW plays a NK spy.

I second JSA. Probably the one I enjoyed the most out of the ones I've seen (which includes Secretly, Greatly).

The Journals of Musan - a human gritty drama about a North Korean defector in South Korea
The Berlin File - an action/thriller about a North Korean spy in Berlin

Ah yes and JSA was great
