Casting Bae Yong-joon (a massive Hallyu star known for gentle roles) was a stroke of genius. He portrays Jo-won not as a villain, but as a charming, almost childish man who treats life as a game. His transformation—from a man who mocks love to a man destroyed by it—is the emotional core of the film.
Set in a time of strict Confucian morals, the story follows the wealthy and bored nobleman Jo-won (Bae Yong-joon) and the manipulative Lady Cho (Lee Mi-sook). Jo-won is a Casanova who prides himself on seducing any woman he desires. Lady Cho is his cousin and former lover, who now lives a life of suppressed rage because her husband keeps a concubine.
Director Lee Jae-yong frames every shot like a traditional Korean painting. The colors are pale blues, deep reds, and autumn golds. The erotic scenes are not vulgar; they are artistic. The camera lingers on the back of a neck, the tying of a robe, or the shaking of a fan. It is sensuality through suggestion.
