Yun Seo, a world weary Korean aristocrat, and Gwang Heon, an old enemy of Yun Seo’s family, come together in the story of the Heukgokbisa, one of Korea’s most famous and lurid novels. The historical drama follows Yun Seo as, chancing upon an erotic novel, he decides to publish his own—and enlists Gwang Heon to illustrate it. When the Heukgokbisa starts circulating at court, the scandalous story takes on a life of its own. Edit Translation

kinda shocked nobody has watched this - cause this was the BOMB, its so funny - freaking hilarious - and no it aint a comedy, but loads of dry-humor. and it's got Han Suk-kyu (bleeding Master kim, and even a scene or two with Mrs. Oh - Jin Kyeong, made me smile)... the story isn't exactly "A noble, high-class scholar starts to write erotic novels in 18th century of Chosun dynasty. He falls in love with a king's woman."
the beginning needed a bit more info / explaining, as to why Inspector Kim's younger brother was tortured by the King and his adviser. maybe something was lost in translation (or it was just meant to draw a picture that Inspector Kim was a coward) btw the subs were really good so not blaming 'them' for not getting the context.

but the rest is Inspector Kim's aspirations to become a good/successful adult (erotic) books author. as it happens he catches the queens eye, and as she is beautiful and he Male - even a coward can only ignore, the advances and invitations of a beautiful woman. even before he takes the leap, she is his muse, and one thing leads to another.

this movie is for adult viewing - for sure, there ain't much nudity or sex scenes, but the dialog is very explicit and doesn't leave much too imagination. this was a fun watch. yeah the end when the queen finds out about the book, and the consequences aren't fun, but kind predictable.
still really A good movie and i highly recommend this too people who aint avers to the subject of sex and r into dark/dry/dirty humor.
