The chasity of the most beautiful women of the Joseon has fallen! Maewol-dang is a gisaeng house located on the outskirts of Hanyang in the early Joseon times. With madame Wol-gi in the lead, there are Nok-su, Chunhyang, Sim-cheong and other beautiful gisaeng's living there. One day a party happens in the gisaeng house and the reason is Wol-hyang's long time lover and Lord Park Pan-seo has come back to Hanyang for the first time in 8 years. Nok-su has always been jealous of the Madame position so she schemes to seduce Lord Park and take over authority. One rainy night, a woman in a Kimono bangs the door of the Maewol-dang. Servant Kong-ji opens the door and this Japanese geisha named Namikko asks to meet Wol-hyang. Meanwhile, the next morning, a male servant named Dol-se is found dead, stabbed by a hairpin that Chunhyang lost and hell breaks loose in Maewol-dang. Wol-hyang's close nephew Lord Lee Joon-ki comes to Maewol-dang to rest his weak body.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
