Forbidden Quest (2006)

Forbidden Quest 2006 / 음란서생 2006 / Eumranseosaeng

Yun Seo, a world weary Korean aristocrat, and Gwang Heon, an old enemy of Yun Seo’s family, come together in the story of the Heukgokbisa, one of Korea’s most famous and lurid novels. The historical drama follows Yun Seo as, chancing upon an erotic novel, he decides to publish his own—and enlists Gwang Heon to illustrate it. When the Heukgokbisa starts circulating at court, the scandalous story takes on a life of its own.
