The Housemaid was so much of a disappointment after all the hype it received.

Ever since I saw his awesome portrayal in A Story of a Man, I have been waiting for Kim Kang Woo to appear in new dramas/movies so this news make me really excited. I hope The Taste of Money will not have any explicit sexual content in it since that factor always ruined any K-movies for me. And I can sense that The Doomsday Book gonna be an awesome movie with brilliant script & plots. :D

Why does that ruin it?
You have seen the poster right... I'm sure there is sex.

I've been brought out in an environment that teaches high moral values thus watching people having sex in films really grossed me out. And can you imagine how uncomfortable it is when you watch it with your siblings/friends? Good film with brilliant story doesn't need sex to sell -- I hope Korean filmmakers gonna realize this fact one day...

I know what you mean. I'm not naive to think that Korean Directors will stop soon. But when they try to put sex or other explicit scenes in a story like 'Mother' it just make you facepalm hard. Sometimes, you just feel like they really sick for turning an innocent story with that kind of scenes. I have plenty of examples where nudity & sex are not needed in the movies' storylines AT ALL. And of course, sex is not immoral. But the context(?) of how the film industry using 'sex' is immoral most of the times.

Movies are almost a safe haven for realism, films tell/show the story they want. I honestly enjoy realism in films. Do you like violence, drugs, death, sorrow, joy? They are all part of life, a brilliant story never leaves them out. You are right films don't need sex to sell, most brilliant stories aren't trying to sell you sex in the first place. They are trying to tell a story, make a connection but if one only sees it as sex then that movie probably isn't for you and the story is lost.
To answer your question, no it's not uncomfortable. Oh morals
Everyone has their comfort level.
You should check out Bollywood films, they have good moral films they never have sex and never will.

I know what you mean, but when you watch a detective/thriller movies, you don't expect them to put any explicit sex scenes in them. Can you imagine if I watch those 'supposed innocent movies' with my family thinking its only a story about some kidnap children but they show the detective is having sex (very graphic) in the middle of the movie? I mean, I'm not watching a movies that have sex in the title or a movie title: 'The Housemaid' which you can expect some adult content, but just a simple adventure/thriller movies. DDDX

Ngl I didn't looka t the trailers or read the synopsis. I'm just trying to figure out if and why that old lady is licking that man's nipple. Does it taste like money? O_o
