Song Seung-heon considers erotic melodrama
by girlfriday
This was my first thought when I saw headlines that Song Seung-heon was considering joining the 19+ club, to star in an erotic melodrama: Did a Dramabeans reader finally get some fanfic made into a movie? followed closely by: Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? I mean, given his matinee-idol-esque qualities, Song Seung-heon strikes me as the perfect guy to cast in something sudsy and sexy. In fact, I may have just put my finger on what was missing in all his other projects — all suds, no sex.
The new film is called Human Addiction, and comes from director Kim Dae-woo of The Bang-ja Chronicles and Forbidden Quest. The first is an erotic melodrama, while the latter is an erotic comedy, and both are sageuks. I actually liked Bang-ja’s alterna-version of the Chunhyang story, which was touching and sad.
This new story will be slightly more modern — it takes place in the 1960s and the main character is an upright respectable war hero. He’s a captain who comes back home from the front and then falls in love with the wife of a soldier who was under his command. Forbidden love, check. Period melodrama, check. I have to say, I’m far less interested in Pearl Harbor the erotic version, because um, I hated Pearl Harbor. Why can’t we have another Joseon-era one? Or is that too Dr. Jin: The Untold Tale?
Song Seung-heon is still considering the project, but I can think of a few people around here who’d line up for his 19+ debut. And then describe it to us in loving detail. Heck, I hardly even need to watch. Y’all tell me how it went.
Human Addiction starts shooting in October for a release next year.

I could already see and hear some of his admires squeeing, gasping, moaning, ohing, ahing, and thousands other ing just at the mention of The Hand Towel and Erotic.
I trust that damn towel would not be in this series though. Right?

It's true. It's a wonder that he hasn't done an erotic film before. Maybe it's finally dawned on him to use his other more obvious talents instead of that other one he's just OK at, lol.
I can't say I am a fan of his, but I would still watch this for all superficial reasons, bwahaha.

This is definitely curious. If true, I wonder if part of the reason to take the role is to do something like this when he is still in tip-top shape, or before he gets married, or heck maybe he wants to stretch to something he has not yet done.
Anything that I have seen that has been 19+ I didn't know the actors that much. Now that I have seen them in a few things, it is a little odd to watch them in these roles. It almost feels intrusive in a way but I'll still watch through the hands over my eyes. LOL

But there's a problem: see, if the lead lady removes his towel with nothing beneath, she could scratch his you-know-what with her long nails cos Kor drama actresses like to keep long tapering nails, so I really really think he should wrap his you-know-what in cling wrap, just for added protection. They could wrap it really really tight, but not too tight, cos blood circulation is really important, and if it's a tad shiny under the bright lights, that would just add to the overall erotic effect. His movements could get a bit restricted and it could get a bit noisy and crackly, but they could just make him moan louder to cover up- it's an erotic show, after all.

Ermm. Some things are better left to the realm of people's imagination. Only a short-sighted actor would want this kind of stuff on their filmography.

But some 19+ movies are seriously well directed and acted. Good plots and much better than k drama . The Ba Ja chronicles was so sad.
I don't think though my brain can take him really making out . It's like seeing the mystery of Mr Hand Towel being stripped off. I am not sure if my heart can take a bad and sad or even physically painful death ending. Those movie endings are painful deaths.

Career is short in Dramaland and it's even worst for those who bet on their physique. I'm sure he knows perfectly that he has jobs because of his looks... and he is 37 now. The man is smart enough imo: He plans to go with a bang and then he will start something else.

19+ rated movies don't always conjure up pornography. Movies like Frozen Flower (Song Ji Hyo, Jo In Sung, Joo Jin Moo) and White Night (Go Soo, Son Ye Jin), with a lot of explicit sexual scenes are not porn movies. They both have strong story lines and good cinematography. And all these actors still have good career until now.

OK This is the best news I have ever heard in my life.
Whatever where ever whenever, we all need to watch this film together.
THIS is what DB Meet-ups are MEANT for.
I mean, seriously, a big outside theater with lots of drinks, THT, NO TOWEL and all of us squeeing and drooling.
The only thing is, he's just so sweet and nice in his roles, he couldn't be the attacker in the relationship, right?
Even the younger actress, Shin Se Kyung, said the kissing scenes with him didn't fluster her. Although, he did get more interesting when he tore the shirt in the closet. That was good and made me nervous in a good way.
No matter how hard they tried to dirty and bloody him up, THT is so squeaky clean. I would love to be the acting coach that has to tell him how to be dirtier. He needs someone like Johnny Depp to teach him....♥ OK, now I have THT and Johnny Depp in a scene in my head now...nice!

While people are talking about comparative ratings to the US...
I'd really like some PG/PG-13ish movie recommendations. I'm a little scared to just go start watching Korean movies because I have heard just how erotic they can be, and that's just not my thing. I was lucky enough to stumble across Descendants of Hong Gil Dong/The Righteous Thief, and Level 7 Civil Servant was great, but I'm scared to go further without advice. Can anyone help me out here? (Also, what is Thieves comparatively?)

Thieves is most definitely safely in the PG/PG-13 range. To play safe you can always simply go for the rom-coms. They're usually very mild.

Pulling out my list here - in the kind of PG/PG-13 range - Babo (Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae Hyun);
Wandeuki (Yoo Ah In);
Arrest King (the Voice as a cop);
Sunflower (Kim Rae Won as an ex-con);
Jeon Woochi:The Taoist Wizard (Kang Dong Won as Jeon Woochi);
Insadong Scandal (Kim Rae Won as an art restorer type)
Speedy Scandal (Cha Tae Hyun as a radio host who suddenly discovers he's a father of a teenage single Mom)
Guns and Talks (which is about hit men and has violence...but is loads of fun) - similarly Kiss Me, Kill Me is also about a hit man, and is fun.
Sports type movies -
Flying Boys, Glove, Take Off, Pacemaker (or practically anything with Kim Myung Min)
(I'm leaving off two of my VERY favorite movies - Duelist, because of a bit of sex and foul language, and The Good the Bad the Weird, because of violence).

Thieves (I think...kind of an Ocean's 11 kind of plot...w/Kim Soo Hyun among others)
I like Cyrano Dating Agency (the movie with Daniel Choi)
Penny Pincher Romance with Song Joong Ki was kind of fun, almost too mild, though.
Werewolf Boy w/Song Joong Ki was AWESOME.
Under NO circumstances watch that one with JGS where he's her "pet". Not for erotic reasons, but because it was INCREDIBLY bad, lol. JGS singing Barry Manilow songs. Enough said.

Best Korean films:
You Are My Sunshine (one shocking scene, but not that graphic, but really shocking) - superbly acted.
Singles - Best Korean romcom film
My Dear Desperado - best Korean film about an "offbeat" relationship
The Chaser - might be too violent for some (about a crooked former cop turned pimp going after a serial killer)
Welcome to Dongmakgol
Sad Movie (ensemble film w/ humor, but also sadness - great cast)
Architecture 101/Intro to Architecture (much better than Cyrano Dating Agency)
...ing (really a film about the relationship btwn a mother and her daughter)
My Scary Girl - an underappreciated dark comedy
The King and the Clown
Memories of Murder
Friend
My Brother
The Crucible
Then there are fun films like...
My Sassy Girl
Windstruck (the 1st half anyways)
The Marrying the Mafia films
My Boss My Hero/My Boss My Teacher films
Too Beautiful to Lie (a screwball comedy)
200 Pounds Beauty
My Little Bride
Ghost House
The 3 Mr. Kims
My Girl and I
The Innocent Steps (ballroom dancing)
Not into melo, but A Moment to Remember is pretty decent and as sageuk action films go, Musa.
And really, only a minority of Korean films are explicit (like films getting the NC-17 ratings in the US).

PLOT TWIST: He will actually be awkward in every love-making scene. DB's will be disappointed but will have many screen-caps to look back on and imagine what could have been.
Actually, that would make even me sad,lol ...I'm sure the movie will be fine as long as it's not trying to be historically accurate and/or a history lesson and there is not much talking. A movie like this? Heck, not much talking might be the way to go.

It was kind of embarrasing how quickly I clicked on this story.
I like a good erotic drama and I like the stories where people gave in to their passion, putting better things to risk. I would have been interested in this one regardless of who is in it.
Of course it would have been great if SSH oppa has acting skills but alas we have to make do with his perfect physique.
I think he would be great in an ero rom com too.

But of course I will watch. I'll watch anything SSH appears in. New wallpaper shots of him all naked soon to come (fingers crossed).

I actually watched Bang-ja Chronicles and Forbidden Quest, and enjoyed both of them, but... maybe it's the Jin effect, but I don't think SSH is a good actor. Right, I only saw him in Time Slip Dr Jin, so I don't think I can judge on one drama only (and especially on that particular drama that pulled everyone's acting down with its awful directing and scenario), but God was his acting bad in this!
So yeah, that plus the fact it's a Pearl Harbor-like movie, I don't think I'll be watching this.
So yeah, sorry SSH...yes, you're eye candy, but as for the acting...even rookie actor Jaejoong was far better than you in TSDrJ.

"Forbidden Quest" is a very good film, tho I don't think I would categorize it as a comedy (while there is some humor, it's more a straight drama w/ comedic elements).
FQ not only had a really good script, but it had the power-house male lead duo of Han Suk-kyu and Lee Beom-soo (the female lead didn't really grab me tho).
Kim Dae-woo was well deserving of the 2006 Baeksang for Best New Director.
So people should get over the erotic element of FQ and watch it b/c it is a really good film.
As for SSH, even w/ his limited acting skills, "Dr. Jin" was one of his worst outings.
He actually did an OK job in "My Princess" but all the heavy emotional lifting was done by Kim Tae-hee (who really shone in that romcom).

So Mr.Handtowel is throwing the towel away. They need to get a bold actress for this. Get him embarrassed enough and maybe he'll manage to form some decent expressions during the sex scenes.
Or then fans will have a movie about a man who might possibly be suffering from a sexual dysfunction, as you all try to figure out if his character likes what is happening or not and if his angry face is also his "Oh God, this is pure ecstasy!" face.
I couldn't resist. I have to tease the man. I like him, although not as an actor. I tease the ones I like. I hope he thinks about this well though. Since his acting has issues, if he does go past that nekkid sex machine line, he might not ever get offers that require much non-naked capable acting from now on. I hope that won't be the case, because he is fun to watch sometimes, but I'm not interested in seeing that much of him. As in the physical him. :P
Ok ok, I joke. He'll get plenty of roles. Still, that stays with you forever and so will his fangirls who love oppa "pure". I'd hate to be him if those get fake-angry. I say fake-angry, because no straight woman who is a fan will really hate a guy's nakedness.

I think SSH shouldn't take this erotic role. No one will ever think about his acting talent, improvement and look forward to the good story but will only focus on his abs only. Genuine fans will only wish to see him successful in his acting career not just well-known for perfect body.
Starring in this movie would be useless and worthless. I hope he will not accept this project.

As realistic as you sound, I think SSH taking on this film is a great addition to his resume. Isn't that what actors do? They take challenges and make themselves better. Not anyone can make an erotic film if they're not up to it. By expanding his horizon it makes room for improvement. Therefore saying that starring this movie would be worthless and useless is wrong. I think this film is gonna be useful for him. Plus cinema is an art, I don't really despise erotic scenes as long as the whole story line justifies it.
