Park Chan-Wook is a korean film director known for his hits Oldboy, JSA, Sympathy for Lady vengeance, and most recently(although not a major success) I'm a Cyborg, but that's Okay. He broke out in Korea with the movie JSA: a story about the guards on the DMZ line between North and South Korea. He then went on the trilogy that labeled him one of the best directors of our time.
