A modest hit in Korea that deserves far more attention than it received, this sharp dramedy from Kim Dae-Woo (who also directed The Servant, the first film shown in the Epic Romance
series) has the endearing Yun-Seo ( the legendary Han
Suk-Kyu) randomly coming across an ‘indecent novel.’ Hesitant to read it
at first, he’s soon inspired to write one of his own, even asking his
family rival and infamous captain of guards, Gwang-Heon (Lee Beom-Su, City of Violence),
to illustrate it for him. Their book is soon the most talked-about in
town and it’s eventually picked up by Jeong-Bin, the king’s favorite
concubine. But when she becomes a little too involved, the two men are
soon drawn in a tricky web of palace intrigue that will leave no one
safe.
