Storyline:

Sumin is an orphan trying to balance work in a factory with study at an art college and an evening job. One night, a rich young businessman makes an advance on him during one of his driving jobs. They meet again the next day: it is during a round of redundancy cuts at the factory where Sumin refuses an attempt by a man (who is in fact the boss’ son Jaemin) to save his job. Eventually, Sumin is seduced into working as a prostitute in an up-market boy-brothel as Jaemin’s obsession with him grows, leaving Jaemin helpless in the face of his overwhelming desire. This is a film of bold sexuality, where unexpected passion, desire and misunderstandings wreak havoc of an operatic intensity.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and some violence

User review:

really moving and endearing story of a love that seems doomed from the beginning,terrific acting especially by Young Hoon Lee who brings beauty and charisma to this demanding role. I watched this with open eyes which turn many times to eyes of tears, the film has twist and turns and a very surprising end, the gay interest is handled with compassion and skill. If you want a film to entertain and flood your emotions,watch this film. I targeted this film because of the content but was amazed how easy it was to be emotionally involved with the lead characters,filmed in a professional way with great effort taken to run the emotions of the film and the prejudices of society and the families involved, I saw no downside for this movie.
