Sad Temptation

About This Movie

The performances are layered; you really feel the weight of societal expectations on Suh. There are no flashy effects here—just a grounded realism that amplifies the character dynamics. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken words and hidden desires, and that’s what distinguishes this piece from other dramas of its time.
