Green Chair (South Korea, 2005)

Steamy but not sizzling hot Korean eroticism
Typical Korean steamy story about a couple who can’t keep their hands off each other. Seo Jung (The Isle) as a 32 year-old lady who was convicted of having sex with a guy under the legal age of consent in Korea. After her release from jail, she drives away with her lover (who’s now of legal age) and the two go to a hotel in a rural area for a sex marathon. She later tells him that they’re better off parted and makes her way to her girlfriend’s home only to find that he’s arrived there ahead of her, so the fun continues, only now with their cute hostess added to the mix.
Not bad, but if you want an even better sample of Korean eroticism, check out Lies (1999) or La Belle (2000).
