Lee Ha makes his feature length directorial debut with
Bewitching Attraction, a bawdy black comedy that takes
comic aim at people who pretend to be prim and proper in their everyday lives, only to harbor more libidinous desires behind
closed doors! Award-winning actress Moon So Ri (from
Oasis and
Peppermint Candy) stars as Cho Eun Suk, a textiles
professor at a rural university who leads a curious double life. The most provocative aspect of her hypocrisy involves her
promiscuous sexual behavior. Simply put, the woman has a wonderful knack for seducing the male population and enjoys her carnal
exploits immensely. However, to keep her impulses hidden from the public, she assumes an honorable profession as a professor,
dons glasses to feign intelligence and respectability, recites poetry to look educated, and even joins the local environmental
awareness group just to keep up appearances as a dutifully concerned citizen.
But Eun Suk's unapologetically hedonistic lifestyle is about to take a dramatic turn when a comic book artist turned professor
named Pak Pil (Ji Jin Hee, from Spring Days and H) shows up one day. Although they don't recognize each other
at first, it seems that Pak Pil attended the same middle school as Eun Suk. But the connection is even closer than that -
Eun Suk was once a girlfriend of Pak Pil's older brother and shares an intimate connection with Pak Pil himself, not to mention
a tragic memory - one that both of them would be more than happy to forget. But with Pak Pil back in her life, she fears her
past will be exposed to her colleagues, if not the entire community. But what is Eun Suk's secret? And will she be able to
keep it under wraps from the prying eyes of the world? Or will it be revealed for all to see? Discover the truth in Bewitching
Attraction, a film written and directed by rookie director Lee Ha!
