Petty Romance sheds some clothes…but not enough
by girlfriday
“Now THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about!” … is what I said when I first saw this new poster for Petty Romance. Because the poster for sex-columnist-meets-adult-comics-writer should be showing some skin, yeah?
Oh, like YOU didn’t want to see Lee Seon-kyun nekkid.
But then I scrolled down, and saw that not only is he NOT naked (behind perfectly positioned poster, mind you), but SHE is. And now I’m annoyed. What the crap is that about? She’s gotta be (implied) naked, with hot pink heels to boot, but dude’s wearing boxers? What’s wrong with Equal Implied Nakedness?
Now I’m going to have to watch this movie, just to keep tabs on its Equal Nudity Quotient. Yeah, that’s a thing. I just made it up. And I’ll keep score too.

I'm so glad that you're looking out for all of us girls and equal nudity under the law.
I, too, was disappointed by the boxers.

I agree!! I'm all for Equal Implied Nakedness.
She should file a complaint to whomever is responsible for the equal Implied Nakedness board or something ;D

Mangled toes! LOL
Actually, I think it's the shine or reflection of light coming off the glossy finish of the shoes, that gives the appearance of part of her shoe missing. Look at the right shoe near the heel, and it's another bit of reflection. ;)

Maybe, but check out her left thigh. Physically not possible to have a profile of a leg while the rest of the body is facing a different direction. Photoshop fail o.O.

BWAAAHAHAHA that's hysterical.
Also, I fully agree with you. WTF Korean poster people?
Also also, I am sure it will be such a chore to keep score.
Man, this has so much potential. Here's hoping the poster is not indicative of an overall unequal nudity quotient.
...also cubed, that does not even make sense. Isn't he supposed to be the sexually experienced one? If anything, HE should be naked and she should be clothed.

Hi Girlfriday,
I'm usually very much for equality for everyone, with everything.
However, being a guy, and looking at this photo, I have to admit that I'm not having a problem, whatsoever, with this bit of Implied Nakedness Inequality. The photographer could have LSK wearing 501's and a trench coat, while leaving lovely CKH just as she is...and I'd be perfectly cool with it. LOL ;)

Sukispop
October 23, 2010 at 7:04 PM
Hmmm...would she be wearing a trench coat, too? Or would she be wearing the trench coat...instead of him? LOL =D
Either way, she'd still look pretty in the photo...but it wouldn't be nearly as intriguing, the excitement of the implied nakedness underneath notwithstanding. hehe ;)

Equal Implied Nakedness & Equal Nudity Quotient.
Hah! Girlfriday, you sure make my day with your one-liners and phrases!
The role reversal is kinda annoying. Shouldn't the male lead be the more "experienced" of the two? And aren't guys more brazen about their own nekkidness?

i was kinda irked too when i saw the corner of his boxers. but what really puzzles me is how nice his legs are.... being hairless and all, i would totally buy them as a pair of woman's legs. not that girls have to be hairless and guys have to be hairy, but those were just my initial thoughts.

first: why are you making a big deal about the guy's boxer peeking out?
yeah, i get equality, but more often than not, men are allowed to show more skin than women (for example, men sngers can take their shirts off, but women singers can't show their bellybutton)
second, she is obviously not completely naked, she's just short, therefore, lots smaller than the poster, but if you look carefully at her you can peek at what is a a few pixels of a bra

We-lll...not sure about all this totaly nekkidness. Personally..the female bod is much neater to look at and sometimes quite beautiful. Now the male bod is sometimes really pleasing from the waist up. However, it's a bit untidy otherwise...I mean all those dangling participles are not too neat are they. I guess it's all in the mind .. or the eyes of the beholder.
