Notes

‘The Scarlet Letter’ was poised to be a big hit the box office because of it’s stellar cast and titillating plot, but the movie only grossed average revenues and was met with mixed reviews. Lee Eun-Joo, the lead actress, was a talented woman whose star was on the rise after her break out role in the mega hit Tagegukki. Her career was on the line when she agreed to take on this intense and sexually explicit role. The rumor was that she starved herself for the role because there were several semi-nude scenes where her back was exposed. Though her acting was critically acclaimed, Lee Eun-Joo was known to be mentally unstable. She suffered from bouts of depression after her mother racked up a huge gambling debt which the actress was forced to pay. Sometime after the movie was released, Lee Eunjoo was found hanging dead in her closet at home. The cause of death was suicide.
