How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A woman escapes poverty by entering the Joseon palace as a concubine, only to find herself caught between two powerful men's dangerous desires in a world where her agency is a luxury she cannot afford. Opulent and suffocating in equal measure.
