"Taegukgi" and "The King's Man" (also called "The King and the Clown") were quite popular. They had high box office viewership. "Taegukgi" is about the changes two brothers go through after being drafted into the Korean War. "The King's Man" is a love story, but not in the traditional sense since it is between men. "The Classic" probably has one of the best love stories and like "Titanic" it doesn't work out as we would hope. "3-Iron" has an interesting love story since neither of the main characters speak throughout the movie. However, that makes the story quite intriguing since nothing is ever said yet the characters find a way to connect emotionally. "Green Chair" is about the relationship between a minor (under 20 in Korea) and a 30 year old woman and how they deal with society's views of them. It would probably have an NC-17 rating in the states because of some sexually explicit content.

Well, the answer would have to be in two categories.
If you mean most popular by the most viewed, then it would be Taegukgi. If you mean the one that people liked the most, that would depend on personal preference. My Sassy Girl is a good way to introduce Korean movies in a lighthearted way, it's a romantic comedy that sells well outside of Korea and was a big hit in Korea as well.
For more information about Korean movies, on an english language website, go to this site:

Hope that helps~!

Taeguki which others have mention is pretty good if you into war saving private ryan type movies. But if your looking for more love type stories than I think the best one is My Sassy Girl. This movie is so funny, good romantic comedy. Windstruck Is also really good if you liked My Sassy girl, same director same actress. il mare is the original korean version of the lakehouse with keanu and sandra bullock, the original is so much better. The Classic is also a good love story. A moment to Remember is also good if your looking for a good cry.
There really a lot of good movies. Also a lot of good korean Dramas like My Girl, My name is Kim Sam Soon, Full House, Snow Queen, Winter Sonata
