Hola my ‘Chingu’ (friends in Korean), ‘Annyeonghaseyo’ (Hello). I am back again with my super ‘Daebak’ (awesome) list of movies for all those who are looking for something unusual yet refreshing.

After taking a break from bragging about my obsession over K-Pop and K-Drama, I finally decided to rekindle my relationship with Korean movies over the weekend. And the genre I picked this time is something most of us are intrigued by and take a keen interest in – erotica.

10 Best Korean Erotic Movies To WatchCJ Entertainment

While, ‘Oldboy’, ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘The Handmaiden’ are some of the best movies Korea has given to the world, their cinematic preserve isn’t restricted to action, gore or horror alone. Erotica is another key genre Korean directors love to experiment with and ‘The Handmaiden’ isn’t the only erotic movie they have in store for us. 

Korean erotic movies pack everything one can ever wish for in a movie – thrill, action, drama, period, romance, power struggle, obsessive love and gut-wrenching scenes. And this is not an exaggeration when I say that no one can do justice to ‘erotic’ genre better than the Korean directors. We guess, we can make an exception for Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘God, Sex and Truth’ featuring Mia Malkova.          

So, on this note, I dare you all to watch these steamy Korean erotic movies and correct me if I was wrong about Korea being the best and the most daring in this genre.  

A Good Lawyer’s Wife

Director Kim Ki-Duk is known for making edgy movies that obsessively reflect on sexual themes and desires. And ‘The Isle’ is no different. It is an unusual love story of a man who takes refuge on a fishing boat and its mute keeper who nurses him back to health. But their romance is not at all rosy as their obsession starts kicking in, causing trouble and death for those around them.

From the man swallowing a string of fish hooks to the woman stuffing fish hooks into her vagina to commit suicide, you will find plenty of gruesome scenes in the movie.

A Frozen Flower

South Korea is said to be a conservative society and sensitive about the depiction of historic events.

The movie revolves around a king, who asks his lover (also his bodyguard) to impregnate his wife. Things turn nasty when his lover and the queen fall in love with each other. Director Yoo Ha manages to perfectly intrigue the audience with his different take on homosexuality and bisexuality.  

The Housemaid

In most K-dramas, you will find the rich businessman falling for his innocent housemaid, so much so that it’s now a full-fledged genre of its own. ‘The Housemaid’ packs the same clichéd romance, only with a dark twist that will leave you shattered and upset by the end. A rich businessman hires a maid to look after his pregnant wife, but soon lures her into having an affair with him. Things soon take a nasty turn, when the wife and the rest of the family get to know of this affair.
