A Crimson Mark

On a rainy night during the Joseon Dynasty, a high-ranking official casually recites a poem full of loneliness. The source of this covert loneliness is a fellow lower-ranking official, Hong Hyun.

Politically, they often quarrel, taking opposing positions, but personally they long for each other. A daring and poetic account of a forbidden gay relationship in the Joseon Dynasty. (Source: BiFan Site)
