Oh my God, I love this so much. Can we just do retellings of fairy tales in a noirish mode???

There’s so many:

Any one of them really, is a good place to start; personal bias is with a wonderful young talent - IU:

My Mister

Hotel Del Luna

Songs of the Bandits

Main actress IU is also an international pop star currently on a world tour. Her range is very impressive. “My Mister” is kinda deep/dark; also very well done.

Enjoy

I can see how you can argue for it as Noir, because it so closely resembles a Douglas Sirk film, so it is rooted in both German Expressionism and Melodrama, which sit either side of Noir.
