If you loved Woman of Fire, try Insect Woman
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 Ki-young, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Woman of Fire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Insect Woman is
Seoul, early spring, rustling silk. Naive Myung-ja ascends to hostess work, then takes the scholar Lee as her lover, all under the watch of Lee’s calculating wife. Soon, the women settle into a bizarre domesticity. Kim's lurid melodrama anticipates later Bong Joon-ho.
