That’s a good idea. Which actress can be his love interest?
Ooh good question! It has to be someone as strong an actor as him and not too young. A few candidates: Han Ji Min, Han Hyo-joo, Shin Min Ah, Yoo In-na,
The only good thing about this drama is that everyone now realizes that Oh Jung Se can be a sexy beast. Maybe someone will let him lead a romance, that would be great
1. This episode was SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOO, y'all! I enjoyed all the messy soap opera relationships. There was no…
> 3. Why was Gong sleeping with his 3 mommies when he has his own apartment with a bed big enough for two? That was creepy. OH OH OH, my favorite line of this episode. "YOU KEEP YOUR PANTS ON!" "You know how old I am, right?"
The more this goes on the more I'm creeped out by the ML. He might make my list of most hated ML's of all time. A list that includes Boys Over Flowers. Congratulations LMH for getting two spots on the list
The director explained how this idea came to be. There's the press conference with the cast on YouTube and articles.…
Thank you for the links! I don't think it's wrong to be horny over those drawings 😅 but there's clearly a deeper message about how women's desires are thwarted by the social constraints they are under and it's a very positive message in terms of women fully owning their sexuality and enjoying and having happier relationships as a result.
ETA: I like these quotes from the director and Go Ara (machine translated so it's a bit awkward, I think level of water refers to how explicit it is):
"Director Kwang-young explained about the control of the level of water in “Chunhwayeonsam,” “I didn’t film it because I thought the level was very important. Although I did use the unconventional material of a pornographic painting, the reason I did is because the story started from the question of who would have written a story like this back then.”
Go Ara, who plays Princess Hwari, explained, "If you look at the entire piece, there is something it wants to say and a message it wants to convey," and "I think it got the R-rated title because it had to include a love story to convey that message. I was very attracted to the message the piece was trying to convey, including my character and the other characters."
People are complaining about Western influence on Kdramas but that's not accurate. For context, Chunhwa was erotic art in the Joseon era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunhwa (images NSFW)
Also, older dramas had sex. No nudity of course but it wasn't until a right wing conservative Christian was elected president in Korea in 2007 that there began to be a clampdown on sexual content on TV. Even with that clampdown we had scenes like these:
Also if you watch Korean films you would know that explicit sexual content has always been present. The Handmaiden, Empire of Lust, A Man and a Woman, A Frozen Flower (gay male sex with the ML as well as straight sex).
You don't have to like The Scandal of Chunhwa or sexual content but saying it's because of Western influence is completely wrong.
