I saw this film in the theater in Seoul in 1997, and have never forgotten it. It's now out on DVD WITH English subtitles, and I'm sure it'll get quite a looksey from the foreign community.
A young woman is forced into prostitution after being tricked into thinking she'd work as a beverage seller. She's an orphan who has never known love in her life, and seeks a man who will love her unconditionally. She soon learns about the flesh trade, first as a novice hooker then as a veteran who hooks up with men who eventually dump her because of her past.
The movie is a journey into Korean prostitution from the 1970s to the 1990s, and the director does a good job by not making the movie overly sentimental. Prostitution still holds a major role in Korean society, with an estimated 20 percent of Korean women having held jobs in the "men's entertainment industry." The DVD is also apparently uncut, as it includes a pretty racy scene that was cut out in the videocassette release.
