After seeing this I decided that the Koreans are the best storytellers around . . .

The Japanese have just lost it or maybe they never had it. Every Japanese film I have seen just doesn't seem to match up to the Korean competition. There is something contrived about the story and the way it is put together.
Checkout "Housemaid" which is a study of the Korean upper class and its treatment of others.
Note: I was looking at a Korean film site the other day and some director quipped: "When the Europeans do bloody violence it is art. When an Asian does it it is extreme." I think volume of output may have some influence on that Euro POV.
