Also, if you’re a Park Chan-wook fan (like me) then I don’t see a reason not to get the whole trilogy if you can play it.

Like I said im just not a huge fan of Lady Vengeance so that's why I didn't get the trilogy. I have Arrow's Oldboy & Tartan's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Im good with those. I don't know what features the Canadian trilogy has so I cant compare.

These are the ones on the Canadian Oldboy:

Commentary - an audio commentary with director Park Chan-wook. From the three commentaries included on this Blu-ray disc, this is the most informative one. The Korean director provides an excellent analysis of his film, plenty of technical information addressing specific scenes and the film's unique music score, etc. In Korean, with optional English subtitles.
Commentary - an audio commentary with director Park Chan-wook and actors Gang Hye-jung, Yu Ji-tae, and Choi Min-sik. I've only listened to portions of the commentary and my general impressions of it is that it has a rather casual tone. If you are looking for a strong analysis of the film, I would recommend listening to the first audio commentary with director Park Chan-wook. In Korean, with optional English subtitles.
Commentary - an audio commentary with director Park Chan-wook and cinematographer Chung Ching-hoon. In Korean, with optional English subtitles. Though also quite technical, this specific commentary focuses more on specific scenes and the manner in which they were shot as opposed to the film's finished look and unique story. In Korean, with optional English subtitles.
Deleted Scenes - a collection of deleted scenes with optional commentary by director Park Chan-wook. In Korean, with optional English subtitles. (25 min, 1080p).

Are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance & Lady Vengeance any better in this Arrow trilogy set than the Palisades Tartan releases? I'm thinking of getting this set for the upgrade of those, if there is an upgrade. I also noticed the full colour version of Lady Vengeance is included, so that's one thing it has over the Palisades Tartan release, which only included the Fade to Black & White version.

The Arrow version of Lady Vengeance has better video than Tartan/Alliance. Capelight and GaragePlay has a 4K restoration of Mr. Vengeance, but the colors look garish.
The Arrow version also has exclusive extras.

Great, thanks a lot for the info, I didn't know about the 4K version of Mr. Vengeance. I wonder if Arrow will do 4K releases of those films at some point. I'd love a 4K version of this set.

What about the 4K Germany version of Lady Vengeance? It lists that it has English sub on the back cover.

Just got a copy of the Arrow set. The Mr. Vengeance and bonus disc of Oldboy won't even load in my region free player. Other two load fine. Can't discern what the problem is.

I've had an issue with a different Arrow blu-ray where the DVD region also had to match (region 2) or else the disc wouldn't play. So, it could be that.

Pretty sure its a pressing issue. All discs are Blu-ray. All locked to B. Two discs worked; two didn't.
