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. The provocative acting of protagonists Bae Young-jun and
Jeon Do-youn gives a boost to the film to achieve five-day Korea
debut of 1.12 million of attendance.
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).
This big-selling film has also set a number of
new records in Korean film industry, including best weekend box
office, most online pre-order and most theater pre-order.
Despite its compelling sexual tale, director Lee Jae-young also
makes an effort to detail the relationship of the characters,
making the movie well-balanced with sexual spice and dramatic
elements.
