Comment on contemporary reactions to this film There was a great deal of controversy in the Korean media when this film came out, saying that this work did not represent Korea well. Some objected to the shade of the lead actress skin, saying that she looked too dark for a Korean. Whiteness of skin was and is still considered important among many in Korea.Others scoffed that it was unlikely that all of the injustices depicted could have happened to one woman. However, it is a vivid and visually spectacular depiction of the struggles many women went through in that time period. ........
