The intrigue, deception, and debauched sexuality of LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES is dropped nearly intact into the Korean equivalent of the Victorian Age, 19th Century Chosun Dynasty. The amoral Lord Jo-Won (Bae Yong-jun) is challenged by his equally licentious cousin Lady Cho (Lee Mi-suk) to deflower a teenager, (Lee Soh-yeon); the girl is meant to become the concubine of Lady Cho's husband. If he succeeds in this endeavor, he wins bedding privileges with his cousin, but the rapacious young Lord's eye is quickly distracted as he sets his sights on the seduction of a beautiful young widow, Lady Sook (Jeon Do-yeon); she has remained chaste for nine years since her husband's death. This endeavor may prove more difficult than the rakish Jo-won is prepared for, and as he competes with the widow's strong though illicit Christian faith for her attention, he may find his oft-repeated mantra--I have room for only one person in my heart--surprisingly challenged. With lush photography, stunning costumes and art direction, and fresh, nuanced performances from all the actors, this erotic period piece was a box-office smash in South Korea, and is sure to delight audiences worldwide.DVD FeaturesAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Additional Release Material: TrailersText/Photo Galleries: Stills
