Reviews for Untold Scandal
Every attempt I have seen to adapt it on film -- Dangerous Liaisons, Cruel Intentions, even the trashy 1959 Roger Vadim version -- has resulted in an entertainment of agreeable nasty elegance. Until now.

Top CriticKorean director Je-yong Lee puts a compelling cross-cultural spin on a familiar plot in this erotic, Eastern adaptation of the Chodelos de Laclos' 1782 French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
10/15/04
A beguiling mix of the familiar and the exotic, vivid proof that a good story can withstand endless variations without losing its fundamental vitality.
10/15/04
Worth seeking out.
10/14/04
A 10-course treat for the eyes and ears.
10/14/04
E J-Yong's transposition illuminates, with satisfying crispness, the hyper-Confucian high society of the time, as well as the underground Catholic movement.
10/12/04
A nicely filmed period piece, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' as Korea would see it at the turn of the 19th century.
10/04/04
Yet another soulless adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos's Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
09/23/04
The world hardly needed another version of Dangerous Liaisons...but gifted writer/director E J-Yong still manages to make the material engaging.
07/11/04
A luxuriously filmed screen adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses set in eighteenth century Korea.
04/09/04
Pallid acting and a general lack of spirit ultimately result in a bland costume drama.
04/09/04
This viciously purring Korean comedy of sexual conquest in the New Directors/New Films Series employs many of the plot mechanisms used in Christopher Hampton's version of Liaisons Dangereuses.
