If you loved Default, try Empire of Lust
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Default, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Empire of Lust is
The Joseon era gets a rom-com upgrade it didn't ask for. A jaded commander and a scorned courtesan circle each other as court politics heat up. All the intrigue makes the romance feel like a bio break.
