Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sulli's controversial role here intensified public scrutiny of her personal life; she later spoke about the industry's hypocrisy toward female sexuality before her death in 2019.
The film bombed spectacularly in Korea despite Kim Soo-hyun's massive popularity—critics called the twist 'obvious' while international audiences found it 'incomprehensible.'
