Untold Scandal 2003 Bluray 720p ((new)) Review

(scandal - Joseon namnyeo sangyeoljisa) remains one of the most visually arresting adaptations of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 novel Les Liaisons dangereuses . Transposing the French classic to the rigid, Confucian landscape of 18th-century Joseon-era Korea, director E J-yong crafted a "viciously purring" drama of sexual conquest and high-stakes manipulation. The Joseon Game of Hearts

Untold Scandal was one of 2003’s biggest domestic hits in South Korea, selling over 3.5 million tickets.

Lady Cho challenges Jo-won to deflower , a young virgin destined to become her husband's concubine. Jo-won finds that "too easy" and raises the stakes by targeting Lady Chung (Jeon Do-yeon) , a widow of nine years who is notoriously virtuous and a devout Catholic. If he succeeds in seducing Lady Chung, Lady Cho promises to finally sleep with him; if he fails, he must become a monk. Production Highlights & Technical Stats
