The film recounts the fictional tale of a King during Korea’s Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). At the time depicted in the film, the Goryeo Dynasty was subordinate to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. In order to keep the throne the King needs to produce a son, lest the Yuan Dynasty enthrones the King’s cousin. The King is unable to perform with women and instead asks his childhood friend and closest bodyguard Hong-Rim, who is also his lover, to sleep with the Queen and produce an offspring on his behalf. A devastating love triangle between the King, Hong-Rim and the Queen is the result. It’s a movie of steamy (heterosexual and homosexual sex), bloody violence and beautiful traditional Korean clothes and striking cinematography.

Another thing about A Frozen Flower is that it is a typical han-movie. Han is that unique (or so it’s claimed) Korean emotion of despair. It would seem that a Korean movie is not authentically Korean, if people aren’t crying and dying. By saying this I’m not giving away anything about the plot that is not expected of a typical Korean film. As I said, if people aren’t crying and dying, it would be unKorean.
