Good Korean War Movies/Shows?

I feel like this is the most forgotten war, my grandfather served in it but can’t think of a single modern movie or show I can watch about it.
Any recommendations? Only stuff I can find were all 50s films.

Well it's called the Forgotten War for a reason.
But yeah, it will always have MASH.

There's an excellent Korean movie called Tae Guk Gi that's worth checking out. The action scenes are like Saving Private Ryan with a smaller budget but still awesome. Good story and acting too.

Thanks this looks great.
I found a YouTube doc about it and the opening scene was 50 NKs getting mass executed by a firing squad

Pork Chop Hill, 1959, starring Gregory Peck is a great one.

The Bridges Of Toko-Ri. Great Michener novel too.

The TRAILER on YouTube has me interested in 71- Into the Fire (2010). It's a South Korean point of view.
Interesting story.

Interesting story.
quote:
A little over a month after the initial North Korean invasion, the ROK army has been forced to retreat, abandoning most of the country. The 3rd division will fall back to the Naktong River, leaving the critical area of Pohang unguarded, so it will be defended by 71 student-soldiers (teenagers too young to serve in the army), including Oh Jang-beom (Choi Seong-hyun), two other survivors of an earlier battle, and three students who were in jail on murder charges. Oh is put in command, but has to cope with Gao Kap-jo (Kwon Sang-woo), the leader of the three toughs, who refuses to follow orders. At the same time, Oh blames himself for the death of an officer who was bayoneted while Oh was fumbling to put a bullet in his rifle. Following two brief battles with enemy patrols, the students realize that they will be attacked soon, so they radio Captain Kang Seok-dae (Kim Seung-woo), their liaison officer, for help, but the lines at the Naktong River are under heavy bombardment. When Major Park Moo-rang (Cha Seung-won), the commanding officer of the NKPA unit, meets with the students under a white flag, he can see that they are scared kids. A father himself, he promises that they will be spared if they surrender.

You will have something around Christmas ... cameras just starts rolling on the film version of the popular book “Devotion”. Prepping some big battle scenes now .... I had no idea about Chosin and the unbearable conditions until I started the research. Brutal

I was coming to post this even though it's not modern.
This is a great film that I hated. I had the same feelings about Saving Private Ryan.
