Obscene Scholar
2016, Korean. Directed by Choi Woo-seong.
There are women from the Joseon times you've never experienced before!
Park Yong-joo is the Joseon time's greatest playboy and he messes with the wrong woman. His life is in danger so he runs, begging the heavens for a life of freedom. Surprisingly, he time-slips to the 21st Century. There, Yong-joo meets two women who is possibly worse than him and he thinks he's finally in a world of freedom. He spends the most pleasurable time with the women but he soon realizes that it's not all pleasure. "What is this for?" "For obscene heaven!"
