The Handmaiden

Both have a stunning chemistry between the women and I also noticed that the pairs actresses from TPOTW (Two Moons I pertain to Moon Chae Won and Moon Geun Young) and The Handmaiden (Two Kims pertains to Kim Min Hee and Kim Tae Ri). They have similar surnames which I find it cute.

However, TPOTW has a tragic ending that's why I wished and waited for 8 years for a lesbian movie that defies South Korean stigma against LGBTQ.

Lust, Caution reminded me of The Handmaiden. Both play in countries under Japanese occupation and between the 1930-40s. Both are for mature audiences and include nudity and sexual content. The movies are based on stories, Lust, Caution on a short story, The Handmaiden on a novel.

This suspense story centers on Kajin Ayame, a lawyer with a promising future but who lives alone. The story begins when a beautiful and seductive man, Minamoto Ieya, appears before her. He believes that "love = possession" and is suspected of domestic violence against his wife, and is under suspicion of murdering a professor at a famous university. The two are instinctively drawn to each other after the incident, and Ayame works hard to prove Toya's innocence.

Both are GL
GAP is definitely more goofy than The Handmaiden but both are good in their own ways

Both women are saving each other against the people around them and they trust one another. It also shows the social class differences of these women but despite of this they learn to love one another.
