Korean erotic paintings

This book contains 3 Korean artists' erotic paintings. I found it in one second-handed book store and bought it with the expectation that it "could" contain some male-to-male eroticas. But what a shame, it didn't!!! I have other books containg many erotic Japanese paintings. And one of the main themes is homosexuality. Because homosexual activities were found any time, any place. According to one Chinese book, it was more than just common to have gay loves in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. I don't know if the publisher of this book intentionally excluded homosexual erotica or not. But I think that there were some homosexual erotica, even in the Chosun Dynasty.

Lies are a gentleman's manners

This is the book I mentioned last April. The man on the left is a medical school student who earns money by selling drugs which he steals from the hospital. The other man is a professor who sort of threatens the student and they become lovers. The professor has also some love stories of his own. I love the art of this manga artist and looking forward to seeing her other works soon.

Stateless things (2011)

You know it or not, Korea is divided into two different country, South Korea and North Korea. The movie, Stateless Things , shows two minorities in South Korea who are starting a bond between each other. The one is a refugee from North Korea, who finds it hard to ignore the injustice in South Korea (One of the co-worker, who is also a refugee from N. Korea, suffers from sexual harassment at the factory). The other is (maybe) disowned and making living by, sort-of, selling his body(though, he doesn't live on on the street..). I haven't had the chance to watch the movie. But I'm looking forward to watching it.
