Untold Scandal
E J-yong

Directed and Screenplay by E J-yong

"One day, when I was listening to some Baroque music, I wondered what kind of dissonance would occur if that kind of music appeared in the background of a Korean historical drama. In most period dramas, you would hear traditional stringed instruments like the kayagum, or see broad humor in the style of folk characters like Bang-ja, stories about power factions in the palace or a wronged woman's lamentations, that kind of thing. I wanted to break out of the cliches and create a historical drama that was more stylish and sophisticated, visually and narratively, than movies set in contemporary times-like classic foreign films. 'Untold Scandal' is basically a love story, but it will be a unique amalgam of elegant eroticism and a new perspective on Chosun culture."
