The South Korean movie "Princess Aurora (2005)" seems very similar to "Lady Vengeance" in many ways, but other than certain plot points it is actually very different. The folks over at DVDtalk.com do a great job of comparing the two films:
"This film has been getting a lot of comparisons to Chan Wook-Park's excellent Sympathy For Lady Vengeance and while both movies definitely play around with some of the same themes and ideas (and in that regard, the comparisons are definitely warranted), the execution of both films is quite different. Sympathy For Lady Vengeance is highly stylized and at times borders on surrealist and it also keeps you guessing as to who was responsible for the crimes whereas Princess Aurora isn't nearly as flashy and it lays out its story in a much more matter-of-fact manner. As such, it's easier to follow and while it is more simplistic it is still very much a unique movie that stands on its own very well."
(I can't yet find a trailer with English subtitles. This movie is unfortunately hard to find...)
