A normal storyline with too much unnecesary sex, clearly the director is influenced or obsessed with western themes. You make a movie, make it unique about your culture/lifestyle not just copy or imitate cheap cultureless western ideals. Worst movie and a complete waste of my time!

Hahahaha, absolutely. We Westerners are SO obsessed with it we think all cultures are, too.

Yes neither Korean or Japanese people have sex, nor have a place for sex within their cultures, nor depict sexual acts in their art or literature. All totally sex free. Damn Westerners.

Well, it IS based from the English novel, Fingersmith, which was originally set in the Victorian era, by Sarah Waters.
