Women, the children of Eve, have many faces. Whether they be dangerous femmes fatales, prim society ladies or fearless grandmothers, their fascinating aspects of womanhood timelessly inspire films. Roughly described as Korea's version of "Basic Instinct" (1992), "Temptation of Eve" (2007) is an omnibus of thrillers featuring four very different but similarly diabolically alluring women. The femme fatale series deliciously combines seduction and suspense.
"Temptation of Eve", is not aiming to hit it big at box office. This four-piece ("Temptation of Eve - Angel", "Temptation of Eve - Good Wife", "Temptation of Eve - Kiss" and "Temptation of Eve - Her Own Art"), erotic thriller, produced by cable channel OCN, is even stuck with a limited release in theaters. But it generated plenty of publicity when it held a press event in Shinchon, western Seoul, thanks largely to four actresses Sin So-mi, Jin Seo-yeon, Yoon Mi-kyeong and Seo Yeong.
OCN, as predicted, is promoting the film as a "sexy and provocative" drama, and planed to air the erotic film on its own cable network in August once the brief theater screening was over.
