Ohhhh, my imagination just spun out of control!

OOhhh....The Pool boy(man)!

Um. I just clicked back to "this" to see what The Housemaid was all about. Wow. Wasn't expecting that... not that I minded.... at all.

really? Nothing about his role in the first "Housemaid" struck me as an interesting character. He kinda was in the shadow of Seo Woo and Jeon Do Yeon the entire movie, and was pretty useless.
*spoilers*
after learning that his mother in law killed his future child, he looks like he's about to do something, but instead just sends her a warning of sorts. WTF?

I'm just so amazed at how he defies the aging process. I mean WOW!!!

How was Seo Woo in it by the way?

Is this the lee jung jae whom javabeans is so crazy about?

Is this the lee jung jae whom javabeans is so crazy about?u know,jb's kryptonite..oh,that's lee jung jin.tsk,tsk,lee jung syndrome

thnx a bunch JB for always bringing us uptodate news in the Kdrama world!

OMG. I cannot wait. LJJ is fab. Saw the movie at TIFF here in Toronto. Wow.

Lee Jung-jae , OMG I SO SO LOVE LOVE him...!!!
i dont know why but i keep imagining him as my professor that i am coveting.. *yum* rawr
but if he were my houseboy then he would be YUmmier...
if he & Jeon Do-yeon would do this drama together then i will be stalking this thread for recaps cause personally i really find this 2 a hot pair..
She really is one of my fave actresses...
yehey

I'm curious as to how a male version of The Housemaid could be done.

YAY FOR LUSTFUL bed scenes <3

I watched maybe half an hour of The Housemaid. The movie made the wife & the maid so clueless, accepting being used by the man. I just didn't like how the women were in this. It was just a soft porn. I hated how the man held out his arms like he was a macho gift to the world while she was giving him ....job. Sure i enjoy sexy scenes but somehow this was gross.

i didn't enjoy the housemaid at all (agree with @16, although i did watch the entire movie) but there's no doubt this dude's hot and has the chops.

Ooooh.....interesting!! I can't wait for more details!

Now if only The Housemaid would show up on Netflix soon!

Saw 1/2 the housemaid on line. then no more.
Then it was playing literally one time ACROSS THE STREET and I missed it here in the States. Given the reviews it's OK, but let me cheer for Miss Yoon ,whom I thought was a Fabulous actress the first time I saw her and has never been less than terrific the many times I have seen her since. Glad she has been recognized. The movie seems all style and sort of a waste of the great cast. really like them all. We'll see
what they do with it.

The Housemaid was just boring to me. For the love for Lee Jung Jae, I just couldn't even finish it. Sorry.

I'm a huge fan of LJJ (his acting, his sex appeal, the full monty), but was disappointed with his turn in The Housemaid (which I saw only a few weeks ago at the London Korean Film Festival). He did not manage to strike a balance between the kind of arrogant nonchalance, characteristic of many a life bred in utter privilege, and the cultural/ patriarchal notions of masculine desire and sexuality (such as the libidinal theatre of unremitting tumescence and indiscriminate penetration/possession of all females in site). The film needed to bring these strands together in a more articulate manner, in order to achieve what it set out to do. The best drawn, and acted, character of the film was that of the older housekeeper, to whom the film really belongs. She's the one who out of the depths of her damaged life -and her complicity with the powers that have humiliated her- musters some moral courage and kindness. The whole enterprise gestured towards a profound polemic against a moneyed elite and its sexual and other politics (marriage, servitude, social and sexual humiliation, child bearing as the means of perpetuating social status and property, etc.) but alas, the director expended all his energies in framing his shots in a glossy, 'beautiful' manner, that the film in the end feels more like the illustration of a point, rather than the experience of an ugly disquiet. The last shot, an attempt to import some of Bunuel's acerbic contempt for a particular class, while representing its morals with clinical precision], was too little too late.
Oh, I also did not understand why it got a '19' rating in Korea, at the LKFF that rating was lowered to 15. Me, I've seen more explicit content on TV just after the 9 o'clock watershed.
