1. A Killer Paradox
A Killer Paradox (translated from Nghịch lý kẻ sát nhân) is adapted from the webtoon of the same name by Kkomabi. The story revolves around Lee Tang (played by Choi Woo Shik), a university student who accidentally commits murder and subsequently gets entangled in a cat-and-mouse game with detective Jang Nan Gam (Son Suk Ku).
After committing the crime, Lee Tang uses a special kind of relationship to escape feelings of guilt. In this scenario, the female lead is completely oblivious, as she unknowingly interacts with him while he’s pretending to be just a regular guy. Despite the thrilling circumstances, Lee Tang struggles to concentrate and cannot establish a real connection with her, instead haunted by the murder he committed.
The audience is shocked by the intense scene of the character in A Killer Paradox.
This scene leaves viewers breathless, not only due to its intense nature but also because of the intricate storytelling it embodies.
“Why does the film include such unnecessary sexual scenes? It seems overly gratuitous,” commented one viewer.
2. Parasite
Parasite (translated from Ký sinh trùng) is one of the most symbolic films in South Korean cinema, having won numerous awards, including Best Picture and three Oscars.
During its premiere in 2019, the film sparked controversy with its sexual scenes, depicting the relationship dynamics between a wealthy family and a poor family that schemes to infiltrate their household. Some viewers found these scenes to be quite shocking and unnecessary.
Mr. Park’s intimate relationship with the long-haired woman leaves viewers stunned.
However, director Bong Joon Ho explained in an interview with Korea’s FILO that the sound designer had to employ a special sound effect for this scene to create an oppressive atmosphere. He wanted the audience to feel discomfort, tension, and a sense of urgency throughout the scene.
The purpose of this intimate moment is to illustrate Mr. Park’s disdain for his chauffeur, while subtly indicating class distinctions that persist even in dire situations.
