Erotica, si. Screenplay, no.

Soft-core flick about a gigolo's origin story. Poor nerd becomes first-rate rent-a-stud to support his ailing mother with his only marketable tool. Sheesh!The erotic content is about the level of premium cable late-night porn (abundance of breasts and buns, but not genitalia), though lower in % of running time because they think the story is worth telling. Many will disagree. The sexual scenes are well-staged, and the cast is quite attractive, delivering in style on the guilty pleasure part of the package. If you're wanting to stimulate the rest of your brain, look elsewhere.

Rather intriguing Korean tale

The plot synopsis and description describes this film as comedy drama teen thriller erotic type film and it does seem to mesh these genres.It starts off quite like a teen film with our lead Fung attending school (age didn't seem to be mentioned but assumed to be of at least 18 in high school) then an incident with a bully gets him expelled. Needing money to support his sickly mother he goes to work at his aunt's (or cousin?) club as a janitor. Almost immediately he gets noticed by a client of a gigolo. It was rather quick and unrealistic in a sense but this film has a lot of unrealistic aspects.Of course it wasn't his intention in becoming a gigolo but he quickly changed a tune once offered a lot of money.There are a lot of innuendos made by characters referring to his package size throughout to the point where it feels entirely forced and unrealistic.There are several explicit and nude scenes however none actually showing his. One quite lengthy scene is with him and one of his client (whom later is revealed to be the step mother of his girlfriend- very coincidental but it's possible, around 56:40- 1:00:40).The film seemingly flips when he suddenly does an acting shoot for a film about being a gigolo (the girlfriend didn't know he was actually one).A lot of forced comical relief in this film doesn't feel authentic, especially in the first half. The drama is the better aspect.It starts off interesting. Drags somewhat afterwards then its conclusion finale was incredibly unpredictable and turned more to a violent off putting thriller.Around where Fung meets his girlfriend's father at a house dinner a lot of chaos occurs as it becomes quite entertaining. It then ramps up its violence with its finale once the father finds Fung's secret.Somewhat feels forced but it's different than the typical Hollywood film endings we are accustomed to.Depending on what you may expect, this film isn't exactly great but has a certain unpredictable and an entertainment factor.
