Viewing Notes

Didn’t realize this was gonna be so explicit… compared to the original 1960s film anyways. Saw the OG film at FF2010 but missed this one so I had it earmarked for this mini project. Lacks the subtleties of the original film but still a decent flick for the great cast.

Fun seeing Youn Yuh-jung here and she’s probably the best character playing her perfectly. Lee Jung-jae is always good but doesn’t do much here other than be the philandering husband.
