Song Seung-heon and Jo Yeo-jung headline erotic melodrama
by girlfriday
Well, you ask and you shall receive. Song Seung-heon (When A Man Loves) has confirmed that he’ll be taking on his first 19+ erotic film, called Human Addiction, the new project from director Kim Dae-woo of The Bang-ja Chronicles and Forbidden Quest. Jo Yeo-jung (Haeundae Lovers) will be reuniting with the director to play the heroine.
The movie is set during the Vietnam War, where Song Seung-heon plays a superior officer who falls in love his subordinate’s wife (Talk about an abuse of power. Just don’t tell me he sends the guy off to die on purpose!) and Jo Yeo-jung plays the wife who falls for Song Seung-heon. The two have a torrid, scandalous affair, since this is an erotic melo after all.
Historical erotic melodramas are certainly a retread for Jo Yeo-jung after Bang-ja Chronicles and The Concubine, so I see exactly why she was cast, even if it feels rather repetitive. This’ll be new territory for Song Seung-heon, and I guess we’ll have to wait and see whether it’s a good career move or a bad one. Somehow I don’t think Song Seung-heon in less clothing will be considered a bad thing by anyone around here.
Once it completes casting, Human Addiction will start shooting in October for a release next year.

I think that is a big factor in k-dramas. Hard to look sweet and innocent to the fans on prime time TV when you just got all nekkid and stuff in your last film.
I don't really object to erotic stuff in dramas, but far too often it is tossed in to cover up bad acting, writing, plots, directing, etc. (Just like in Hollywood).

Honestly, I don't that's necessarily the case. Son Ye Jin has had similar film roles as Jo Yeo Jung but still gets cast as sweet and innocent roles (i.e. Personal Taste).

In what films was Son Ye Jin required to get naked? Was there any frontal nudity that she has done? I mean, same level of nudity done by JYJ. I don't think it was that hard core.

I feel like it has more to do with--this is just a notion I am getting-- there aren't a lot of actresses willing to take on erotic roles? I can only name a handful that I've seen that are well known. And that's possibly why she got the role as well--she's well known. They probably wanted someone with star power that matches up with the towely guy, ya know?
It's the same with action roles-- I feel like you only ever see the same two actresses in those.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with an erotic role. It depends on what the actress is comfortable doing.

Really, this would only be her third film with erotic content. Had they been spaced out throughout her career, this wouldn't be a big deal. Jo Yeo-jung's had her fair share of "sweet and innocent" roles; it's her choice first and foremost to take these roles. I guess to be fair, she could deliberate more time between these explicit films, but she's done rom-com dramas in between as well.
Pretty girl, and I'm happy for her relative success. She's a refreshingly cute face in the ocean of pale, plastic actresses these days (not hating, just being frank).

I have seen her in most of her roles, and she may not be plastic on the face, but she has done major bust job....watch the servant....I get actresses who do erotic films once, twice, coz maybe they want to venture out, but it's not good to make it a choice too often. Kills the sexy...

I really like Jo yeo Jung bc she seems really like a nice person outside and i wish she would stay away from roles that needs take her clothes off. It seems that directors would mostly cast her bc of that.
If she would do more dramas, it give her more exposure and expand her fan base.

He'd probably dash his head against the bedpost a few times after "doing it" because he is so torn up by guilt over the fact he can't stop "doing it". Then, with blood pouring down his forehead, seeping into his eyes and drenching the sheets, he will resume "doing it" again. Heck, he could have a cannonball stuck in the middle of his head, and he'd still be "doing it".

His "doing it" face will be exactly the same as his "tormented' face, his "anxious" face and his "thinking really deep thoughts" face. If we are lucky, he would probably end with his famous "sighing looking up to heaven" face, as an extra bonus after, um, "doing it".

The best option is to avoid his face entirely in the bedroom scenes. Or have Leroy Young from Love Forward give him lessons on bedroom eyes. A really sexy man just has to look at you and lean in close to turn a woman into a puddle.

Yes, in intense moments of erotic passion, our SSH would be strutting around with nothing on but a tiny little hand towel balanced horizontally "in the proper spot". Quite a sight to behold, and I would really admire him if he is able to sustain this "balanced" state for oh, an hour or so? without ever wilting. But then again, this could be dangerous - he, or rather his hand towelled "spot", could walk into one of those ancient standing fans, get caught in one of those vicious blades, and it's bye bye, "spot"!
