Synopsis
Empire of Lust (순수의 시대, 2015) is a South Korean period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ahn Sang-hoon sets his story in the violent transition between the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties — a political rupture where picking the wrong side meant death, and ambition was the only currency that mattered.
Army commander Min-jae has been assigned to watch the ruthless Prince Yi Bang-won. Jang Hyuk plays him with a soldier's controlled composure that slowly fractures under impossible pressure. Between the two men stands Ga-hee, a gisaeng carrying a vendetta with its own momentum — Kang Han-na's performance is ice where it could easily have been fire. The tagline promises a bloody history behind the throne, and the film delivers on it. Stream Empire of Lust online on iFILM.
