The Coast Guard (South Korea, 2002)

Kang Sang-byeong is a member of the South Korean coast guard who is eager to shoot a North Korean spy. One evening he shoots and kills a South Korean civilian who has strayed into a forbidden zone to have sex with his girlfriend. Kang and the girlfriend of the dead civilian both have mental breakdowns, while trying to hold onto friendship, duty and humanity.

A great story about the mental disintegration after taking someones life. The tragic and emotional ending left me filled with despair. In the best way possible. 

Genre: Action/Drama
