| Summary |
Set in 19th century Korea, this version also tells the tale of treachery, lust and sacrifice. Elegant, courtly and sexually voracious young Lord Jo-won's public life of idle nobility masks a not-so-private life of unending sexual conquest. Challenged by his equally debauched cousin Lady Cho to seduce a teenaged virgin threatens Cho's household kingdom. Jo-won accepts on condition that Cho surrender herself to him if he succeeds. But the real target of Jo-won's ardor becomes Lady Sook, a stunningly attractive, pious widow . |
