Scarlet Innocence is a racy korean movie about a Professor who is sent to a small town after being suspended from his post at a university following claims of sexual harassment. He meets Deokee, an innocent and naive 18 year old girl who lives with her mute mother, looking for love and excitement in her boring little town that seems to be made up of an aging population. While the story line has a few unexpected twists, no event was appalling enough to really evoke strong feelings of sympathy towards the characters. I did not get angry with them, I did not feel sad with them, I was not happy with them. While the storyline had several poorly explained occurrences, some that seemed down right impossible, I think if there were stronger actors in the movie with better chemistry, this would have been more enjoyable to watch and receive a higher score from me. I mainly watched because it had some racy scenes which I like, especially in Korean cinema because they are usually well choreographed, but the sex scenes in this movie were just boring to watch and barely arousing. I didn't expect much after I saw the IMDB rating of 5.9, but I was still disappointed. TL;DR I wouldn't recommend watching even if you're bored. Unless you're REALLY bored and you're in the mood for a sub-par revenge story line.

Except acting I can't give marks to this movie... You fell for a married guy with your own will... Left your mom behind for days and even the accident caused by you but you need a revenge waooo... For what? If he was culprit who are you? You stole a weak woman husband and a father of a fragile child and then you sell that kid to punish her father... Really woman... Both leads were the worst characters I can ever experience... Story was more than pathetic... And if its not about Jung oppa I would have dropped it after 20 mints....
I recommend you this movie only if you can take a nonsense because of jung oppa like me... Otherwise don't waste 90 mints... Please

One point I do agree with nay-sayers on was that the end can get a bit too complicated and seem to derail the connection set up in the first half of the movie. There's a secondary plot line that fits but that I do agree is a bit of overkill the overpowers what was a very poetic tale at the beginning. This doesn't make it not worth the time though, I really felt this movie was worth watching. The cast do an amazing job with their roles and they hold strong through the whole thing. The ending is very 'finished' as well you're not left with really any major untied strings things make sense and you can feel satisfied that nothing is truly missing from the picture.
Overall I would say don't go into it with massive expectations and you'll be okay. It can be very emotionally dark though and of course has adult scenes so just know that before watching and you're good. I wouldn't re-watch it immediately but I'm sure I'll revisit this movie in time like I do with Woo Sung's other film Daisy because they're both filmed in such a beautiful way.

A dark romance with steamy chemistry and a dark ending
Scarlett innocence was a movie I really enjoyed. The s*x scenes are pretty graphic but the two leads have amazing chemistry that makes it feel like more than just two naked people grinding. I haven’t watched it in a while but I won’t lie and say I haven’t gone to back to watch.. certain scenes. The acting is really great and both leads did really well in their roles and I wasn’t surprised by most of the plot. It’s starts off good but kinda loses the spark by the end. First half I’d give an eight or a nine and the second half a seven.Was this review helpful to you?
Wow.
This movie is a masterpiece, I don't understand why there is so many mean comments/reviews lol.It was definitely very creative and intricate, a tale of vengeance and forgiveness (A weird one but ok). There's so much strong and deep dark emotions that this evokes, vulnerability, trauma, cruelty, all packed for you to unpack in the end. It is by no means perfect, but the darknesse embedded in it is just incredible, it makes you think about many things.
Highly recommend.

Revenge.
Revenge is something that gnaws at the soul, that hunts us until we bleed and guts us with pain and hurt. The result becomes something that is a momentary pleasure, seeking to bring satiety to a feeling of anger that is like a black hole, without end.Anyway, go to therapy. Incredible performances, but a story full of strange revenges.

What kind of fuckery is this
Bro she failed at revenge after he stole her innocence hence the name scarlet innocence and fucked her over sooo bad. Then went over to leave her addicted and then did smth so bad i wont wpoil but to like the best character in the whole show. He goes home continue his whoring abt and nothing nothing could teach him a lesson. The fl revenge was actually evil to the innocent character and then she becwmw the villian when the ml was evil no cause. She spent 8 years planing this and didnt think.... hmmm what if? Anyhow i believe the ml should be castrated and i couls rant abt how shit the plot is all day but the pairing is perfect... they look so good together. The ml is so hot and the fl has the i could do no wrong face. They both also look so coolll.Was this review helpful to you?
Nada espetacular.
Depois de assistir ao clássico Tell me That You Love Me, fui caçando os trabalhos de Jung Woo Sung, e foi por conta disto que iniciei esse filme.Não havia lido a sinopse, só me joguei e fiquei surpresa pela existência de um lado negro no decorrer da história. E também admirada ao ver uma produção coreana sem qualquer tipo de pudor. Acho que foi uma das primeiras que vi nesse estilo.
Não achei nada demais o desenvolver da história, na verdade é um velho clichê. Uma história no qual o objetivo era se vingar do homem que lhe fez promessas e distruiu sua vida. Se bem que houve partes até pesadas. Não foi um filme espetacular!

A Vingança Gélida de um Amor Ardente ? Inocência Escarlate (2014)
Inocência Escarlate é uma releitura sombria do clássico conto popular coreano Simcheongga. O filme segue Shim Hak-kyu, um professor universitário em desgraça (e um escritor popular), que é exilado para uma pequena cidade após um escândalo. Lá, ele se envolve em um caso de amor obsessivo e destrutivo com Deok-yi, uma jovem ingênua que trabalha em um parque de diversões local. Quando Hak-kyu consegue retomar sua carreira em Seul, ele a abandona brutalmente. Oito anos depois, o destino cobra um preço amargo: Hak-kyu está perdendo a visão, e sua filha o culpa pelo suicídio da mãe. É nesse momento que Se-jung se muda para a porta ao lado – uma mulher misteriosa, fria e determinada, que é a própria Deok-yi, de volta para executar sua vingança paciente e gélida.Jung Woo-sung como Shim Hak-kyu — O ator veterano entrega a complexidade de um homem intelectualmente brilhante, mas moralmente falido. Sua jornada da arrogância ao desespero cego é o eixo central do filme.
Esom como Deok-yi / Se-jung — A atriz tem uma performance de destaque, transformando-se da jovem ingênua e apaixonada para a "Madame Ppang-deok" (o título original, uma referência ao conto de fadas) fria e calculista. Sua frieza é a cicatriz da traição de Hak-kyu.
Park So-young como Chung-yi — A filha de Hak-kyu, uma figura trágica que se torna mais um peão no jogo de vingança e obsessão.
Releitura Moderna e Erotizada: A história adapta um conto de fadas moralista para um thriller erótico e psicológico, focado na luxúria, traição e no preço da obsessão.
Melodrama de Vingança: O filme é um slow burner que constrói a vingança de forma metódica, com a perda da visão de Hak-kyu sendo um símbolo potente de sua cegueira moral.
Química Intensa: As cenas de romance e drama entre Jung Woo-sung e Esom são intensas, elevando a tensão emocional e a sensação de perigo.
💭 Minha Experiência
É um filme que incomoda. Comecei um pouco reativa, mas o filme é profundo e visceral. Ele não se contenta com finais felizes ou redenções fáceis; em vez disso, ele mergulha na face mais cruel do ser humano. A jornada de Deok-yi de inocência à escuridão é devastadora, e a interpretação de Esom é fenomenal. O filme usa a cegueira de Hak-kyu não apenas como um dispositivo de enredo, mas como uma metáfora de como ele era "cego" para o amor verdadeiro e o impacto de suas ações. É um conto de fadas macabro e sem esperança, que fica com você muito tempo depois dos créditos.
⭐ Vale a pena assistir?
Altamente recomendado para o público adulto que aprecia thrillers psicológicos e dramas de vingança complexos e sem concessões. É uma exploração nua e crua da fragilidade da inocência e da voracidade da traição. Prepare-se para uma experiência intensa.
