The Vengeance Trilogy (Korean: 복수 삼부작) is the name given to a South Korean thematically-linked unofficial film trilogy directed by Park Chan-wook, comprising Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), Oldboy (2003) and Lady Vengeance (2005). Each film deals with the themes of revenge, ethics, violence and salvation. The trilogy is considered a revision of the European revenge tradition set amid the 21st century globalization traumas in South Korea.
