Forbidden Quest (2006)

kinda shocked nobody has watched this - cause this was the BOMB, its so funny - freaking hilarious - and no it aint a comedy, but loads of dry-humor. and it's got Han Suk-kyu (bleeding Master kim, and even a scene or two with Mrs. Oh - Jin Kyeong, made me smile)... the story isn't exactly "A noble, high-class scholar starts to write erotic novels in 18th century of Chosun dynasty. He falls in love with a king's woman."
the beginning needed a bit more info / explaining, as to why Inspector Kim's younger brother was tortured by the King and his adviser. maybe something was lost in translation (or it was just meant to draw a picture that Inspector Kim was a coward) btw the subs were really good so not blaming 'them' for not getting the context.

but the rest is Inspector Kim's aspirations to become a good/successful adult (erotic) books author. as it happens he catches the queens eye, and as she is beautiful and he Male - even a coward can only ignore, the advances and invitations of a beautiful woman. even before he takes the leap, she is his muse, and one thing leads to another.

this movie is for adult viewing - for sure, there ain't much nudity or sex scenes, but the dialog is very explicit and doesn't leave much too imagination. this was a fun watch. yeah the end when the queen finds out about the book, and the consequences aren't fun, but kind predictable.
still really A good movie and i highly recommend this too people who aint avers to the subject of sex and r into dark/dry/dirty humor.
