Korean drama The Taste of Money arrives on DVD in January

Foreign cinema fans will no doubt enjoy the news that Arrow Films have announced the release of Im Sang-soo’s acclaimed drama The Taste of Money for 6th January on DVD.

Arriving with its original Korean language soundtrack with English subtitles, this tale of lust, seduction, decadence and betrayal stars Yoon Yeo-jeong, Baek Yun-shik and Kim Kang-woo.

Synopsis and trailer follow...

One of South Korea's richest families, controlled with a vice-like grip by Geum-ok, wife of the prominent but disillusioned family-business President, Yoon, is in the throes of crisis. Her newly appointed personal secretary, a handsome and ambitious young man, Joo, deals with the families immoral-and illegal-activities whilst patiently waiting for his own chance for financial reward, but when he is witness to an affair the balance of power shifts, with tragic consequences.

As their personal and professional empire begins to unravel and a scandalous arrest threatens to expose the family's unsavoury secrets, the steely-cold Geum-ok turns to the basest form of revenge left available to her, cold-blooded murder.

Lost between his own shrinking sense of morality and a shortcut to an ever-growing bank balance, Joo has to decide between rescuing what is left of his moral soul and a the plentiful supply of cold-hard-cash that lies waiting for him on wooden pallets in the household’s basement vault.
