Korean films sold more than 100 million tickets at cinemas for the third straight year.

After a relatively slow start this year, the tide started to turn with the opening of the period action film "The Admiral: Roaring Currents", which sold more than 17 million tickets over the summer, a record for a Korean film.

Another action comedy "The Pirates" was also an overwhelming success, selling more than eight million tickets.

The popularity of Korean films is continuing into December as well, with the heart-wrenching melodrama "Ode to My Father", and the documentary film "My Love, Don't Cross That River".
