It's a homage to that film... the title gave that away. Not a rip off in the slightest, but its own wonderful spin on the original film, also lots of things in the Korean film that don't even appear in the Eastwood film.
Agree with many of the recommendations here, and am spotting several I'd like to catch up with. Every now and then I find some, notably Ta Gu Ki, to be marred by over-the-top sentimentality at the end. Korean movie-goers love a good cry. (And then there's Korean TV drama!)

There is no movie like ,,Tale of Two Sisters,,
Best and scariest horror movie ever.Everything in that movie is brilliant !

Haven't seen many Korean films, tbh. I would probably the first of Vengeance film. Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, i think it's called. The last one of the vengeance trilogy is the weakest, though.

The Front Line
A Korean movie about the beginning of the Korean War, where the South And North Korea find themselves killing thousands over one bloody hill.
In a sense it's an anti-war movie as one South Korean soldier puts it: " I don't hate the communists, I hate the war" .
The absurdity of it all is shown when a cease fire occurs supposedly finally ending the conflict only to resume for another twelve hours, where both the North and South companies wind up forever parts of the bloody hill that they kept taking and re-taking for over three years.

From the director of Ta Gu Ki, comes another great Korean war movie about two cousins who start of as rivals and enemies and end up as friends. What starts up as a childhood marathon rivalry in Korea turns into much more as they incredibly fight for the Japanese, Russian and German armies.

Read somewhere that Kim Ki-Duk's new film won the Grand prize at the Venice Film Festival... Anyway, there's a marvellous Korean film by Hong sang-so called On The Occasion Of Remembering The Turning Gate. Highly recommended!

I've actually only ever seen one movie although I am trying to watch more foreign language films. That was The Host which was a great movie.

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP
I cant figure out the name of this movie. Its about a warrior that has a sidekick that can morph into animals mainly a donkey and they must battle strong ancient forces, one for instance is the wind in which turns into a human. it has screen play similar to Arahan. Does any one know what movie this is?
