Anyone watching Aema? According to Netflix, this show is a reimagining of the behind the scenes drama of Madame Aema, Korea’s first feature length, mainstream erotic film. The tagline is intriguing: "Two unstoppable women, one male-dominated film industry, zero f***s to give" 👀 #kdrama #Aema
On my watch list - thanks for the reminder, think I'll start it tonight
Let me know what you think! I'm popping to the cinema tonight (to watch The Life of Chuck) so will probably start this one tomorrow :)
I’ve started it. Interesting but it hasn’t grabbed me, whereas I’m watching Mr. Sunshine for the third time and it’s still captivating. Maybe after K-Pop Demon Hunters and its diaspora background, I’m more aware of the main theme.
I wanted to love it but I found it very slow and dreary so I dropped. Would love to hear what other people think though, I don't see many people watching this
Ah that is disappointing... I will give it a watch and report back :)
This is definitely on my 'to watch list' Hanee Lee is a phenomenal actor (ess) and can carry any show she's in 😊
I am looking forward to starting this show tonight... I am not as familiar with her work as I perhaps should be :)
She's really great. Loved her in One,the woman where she played a dual role so well. Then there's the Fiery Priest s1 and s2. Also knight flower. Try one of those,you might become familiar with her work then 😃.
Thank you!! :)
Pleasure 😊.
i watched it and it was thought provoking! loved how many different topics they tried to cover (nudity, censorship, ageism, what it means to be a woman in the entertainment industry) both female leads did an incredible job
So glad that you enjoyed it! It does sound interesting. Looking forward to starting this show tomorrow i think :)
I loved it. The FLs did a great job in the duality of their roles as characters during a horrible and corrupt era of exploitation, and acting with just the right amount of cheesiness as the were filming scenes as characters in the erotic movie. Plus, the movie of the movie keeps consistent with 🧵
Filming with era constraints in place, ie no nipples, no frontal nudity & male nudity of limited to butt. Lee Han Lee is exceptional & adept at comedy. bitter rivals to support as sisterhood to protect each other. I don’t pay attention to MDL ratings which skew lower if not romance plot.
Ah I am so glad that you loved it... makes me v excited to start this show tonight!
Sounds interesting. Will binge later.
My thoughts exactly!
Plan to start this weekend. Started a new job and have been super busy
Ooo... congratulations on your new job! I think i am going to give this a watch soon too...
Thanks!! Some people upset about the nudity but it’s not that serious lol
Oh are they? I guess that is to be expected... I just hope that any scenes of nudity were a) necessary for the narrative and b) filmed in a safe environment with an intimacy coordinator etc :)
I believe it’s because the movie they were creating in that era, which the show is about, was an erotic film and how men treated women during the filming
This potentially sounds really interesting...
