If you loved The Magician, try The Concubine
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
Both films are directed by Kim Dae-seung, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Magician, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Concubine is
Dangerous Liaisons in feudal Korea. A woman enters the palace as royal concubine, attracting the attention of both the king and a low-born servant. Sensual melodrama with a fatalistic edge.
