======================================================================


K-TV series lead actor Bae Young-jun ("Winter Sonata", "Hotelier") makes his movie debut in "Untold scandal" that unfolds a sexual tale set in 18th century Korea.

Developed from the French novel "Dangerous Liaisons" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, "Untold scandal" tells a tale about a talented playboy Cho Won (Bae Young-jun) trying to seduce Madam Suk (Jeon Do-youn) who has been defending her chastity for 9 years. But after all, all he tries to do is instigated by his first love ?his aunt Madam Jo (Lee Mi-sook).

The vibrant, gently clashing colors of the costumes and sets give a visual counterpoint to the sensuality of the story. Sex scenes -- far more explicit than in previous film adaptations -- collide with our preconceived images of old Korea. In contrast, the movements of the characters in day to day life are elegant in their restraint, echoing the strict moral code of Chosun society around which our characters must negotiate. The dialogue is also elegant and rich in color, an extra bonus for native speakers of Korean.

xiaoqiang says: it's an old movie with dvd already for sale on the net. and it's R(A) for you kids before you do anything. when the show starts, i thought it's just a R(A) film judging from the title. but the whole entire story changes when the game got out of hand. it's woman's jealously and anger that won over Madam Jo's lost in the game when Sir Cho wins Madam Suk heart. and it's really romantic when Madam Suk say she don't miss any season for the 9 years. but now she misses autumn, only after she met Sir Cho and time spent with him in autumn. ending is abit tragic when you know woman's jealously is involved.

so sad.
