[ K-Movie ] Untold Scandal 2003
Info :
Untold Scandal- ‘Les Liasons Dangereuses’ is a story about aristocratic libertines who have nothing better to do than to amuse themselves with cruel wagers. Untold Scandal is a movie based on the original plot of Les Liasons Dangeruese, but it instead of taking place in 16th century France, it takes place in Korea during the Chosun Dynasty.
The main character is Lady Cho, an ajuma with a noble bloodline. She’s as elegant as she is heartless. Her cousin, Cho Won, is the eldest son of a wealthy family. He’s a notorious womanizer who seduces women with poetry and after the fact, he likes to paint his sexual escapades. Because the main characters are rich and live a life of leisure, their boredom drives them to find amusement in wrecking other people’s lives. They especially find joy in sexual conquests. As an act of revenge, Lady Cho wants Cho Won to devirginize and perhaps impregnate a 16 year old who is to be her husband’s new concubine. He feels this is too easy. Instead, his goal is to deflower a chaste widow whose husband died before they had a chance to consummate their union. Their conniving plots lead to ill-fated consequences.
This movie is interesting for several reasons. First, the movie was worth watching for of the historic sets and sumptuous costumes. The brilliant cinematography also added to the beauty of the film. Second, it was interesting to see how the same story was adapted into two different eras and cultures. The movie gives an interesting insight into the Confucian culture of the Chosun dynasty. Men and women were not openly allowed to talk to each other and everything was always going on behind closed doors. In one scene, the husband’s future concubine reads and except from a book for virtuous women “A woman’s husband is her heaven. She must serve him like she would her father. She must not be absurd, be virtuous always and not make herself important. She must be obedient and not contradict or betray him.” After reading this aloud, she yawns. Later on, Lady Cho enlightens the future concubine about the hypocrisies of noble society. “Common people don’t know this,” she says “but all ladies of nobility have a secret lover or two. Books are books, but reality is different, just as a woman’s reality is to wed a man she doesn’t love. Everyone knows it, but no one speaks of it.” Despite the beauty of the movie and it’s intriguing plot, this movie was met with mixed reviews in Korea. Perhaps Korean audiences didn’t like it because they thought it shed the wrong kind of light on their culture.
