Actually. It is not as amazing as all reviewers said so. I have watched least 20 -30 Korean movies and this one of my lows.
Koreans make excellent thrillers and I don't understand why they gave high reviews for this movie.

A Korean thriller has a good unpredictable story. And unusually for this kind of Fatal Attraction type thriller there is a feel good ending. Jung Woo Sung plays a flawed professor of literature who is a womanizer. He embarks on an affair with a student in a small town. But things take a tragic twist that's quite unexpected. The next part has an interesting revenge plot. Finally a twist that makes everything feel good kind of. You get a lot of bang for your buck here - maybe a bit too much. The love scenes are too protracted.
Worth a watch even in this well trodden genre.

A revenge story which will attract Jung Woo-Sung and Esom's fans. As a drama thriller, Scarlet Innocence has every element to satisfy its audiences except the ones who seek morality and decency on the screen. To some extent, Scarlet Innocence is erotic, and some might find it inappropriate. However, this movie is erotic and smartly handled the the thrill without becoming a meaningless 'sex appeal' film. So, in this regard, this movie did not deceive its audiences. Despite having some ignorable plotholes and a grip problem, it managed to overcome them with good acting from the cast. Woo-Sung and Esom acted really well. Their love-making scenes were good as well. A must-watch for the erotic thriller lovers.
South korean film industry at best ,another amazing Story ,Great direction,solid script,Awesom Acting by all cast especially one of my favouritie South korean Actor Jung Woo- Sung lead in this movie & once again he not disappoint me, want to mentioned movie have graphic sex scenes soo better to watch alone,
Tons of faults in its narrative, but remains a treat for the eye for various reasons (lmao) and definitely deserves a watch, particularly from those that enjoy erotic thrillers.
