That's right! Kim Tae Ri's "The Handmaiden" isn't only thrilling and romantic but it's also one of the few works that appeals to sapphic lovers!
'The Concubine'
"Parasite" star Cho Yeo Jeong took the Hallyu scene by storm when she starred in the historical film "The Concubine."
It was a controversial work not just because of its erotic theme but also because of the patriarchal undertones and oppression that were depicted in the story.
"The Concubine" centers on the tragic life of an aristocrat who became a royal concubine against her will, and her power struggle that she experienced as she spent her nights with the king.
