Trivia
Director Kim Dae-woo has stated that one of the requirements to play the characters "Choon Hyang" and "Hyang Dan-i" would be scenes involving nudity. Many prominent South Korean actresses had considered appearing in the film but later declined because of the many sexual scenes. Eventually, Cho Yeo-jeong and Ryu Hyun-kyung were selected as heroines of the film. Their contract stipulated that they had to show their breasts, but it was later decided that their butts should also be exposed.

Delightful festival of Korean-ness.

Last year I was incredibly fortunate to see this adorable movie when it premiered at The Korean Film Festival in Auckland. It was showing at The Academy, which is an informal art-house cinema in the basement of The Public Library. I was the only non-Asian person there too. For a "Frock Movie" fan like myself this was the most wonderful experience. The lush locations, hyper-color cinematography, the superb costumes and beautiful set dressing alone, make it a must-see. The surprising thing about the story, is that it is a comedy. I might not have realised this watching it with just English sub titles. The audience at the festival were laughing a lot. It appears it is a spoof of a traditional story which everyone knows. The script is very tongue in cheek and a bit anarchic. Think 'Blackadder" view of historical events as a comparison. I wish this genre of films were more easily viewed. I am back in Cornwall now and there is no way I would have seen it here.
