Where To Watch The Servant Korean Movie

[Totaly Pavlina]

TheServant (Korean: 방자전; RR: Bang-ja-jeon; lit. "The Story of Bang-ja" or "Bang-ja Chronicles", compare to Chunhyangjeon) is a 2010 South Korean historical romantic drama film starring Kim Joo-hyuk, Jo Yeo-jeong and Ryoo Seung-bum. It re-tells the origins of the famous Korean folktale Chunhyangjeon from the perspective of the male protagonist Lee Mong-ryong's servant.[3][4][5][6]

While a servant, Bangja shares his rooms with Mr. Ma, a notorious womanizer and self-stylized Lothario. Bangja escorts his master Mong-ryong to an evening out at the local pleasure house, where they are witness to a performance by the madam's daughter Chunhyang. While trying to arrange a meeting between Chunhyang and his rather clumsy and socially awkward master, Bangja defends Mong-ryong from a larger, disgruntled patron and inadvertently impresses both Chunhyang and her maidservant Hyangdan.

Mr. Ma begins to coach the simple, honest Bangja in the ways of seducing women, which Bang uses to secure a picnic outing for Mong-ryong with Chunhyang through Hyangdan. During the excursion, Bangja so astounds the ladies by cooking meat to perfection, recovering Chunhyang's slipper from the waterfall pool, and carrying her on his back after she injured her ankle, that a love triangle rapidly begins to form between the two women and Bangja, much to the consternation of Mong-ryong, though he boasts that he is slowly luring Chunhyang to him by playing hard to get.

While his master continues to study, Bangja attempts to court Chunhyang. Mr. Ma continues to provide instruction to Bangja, assuaging his concerns when he thinks his master may have slept with her, and pushing him to seize upon spending the night with her before his master can. Though Bangja's seduction is clumsy and his approach very tentative, Chunhyang begins to fall for him and makes love to him on several occasions. Due to his low social-standing, however, she seeks to marry Mong-ryong and enlists Bangja's help in order to make this plan a reality.

When Mong-ryong is called away to Seoul to finish studying and take his exam he asks Bangja to recover a written promise he gave Chunhyang about marrying her. She catches Bangja as he tries to steal the paper, and switches it for a confession letter she wrote and got him to sign the night the two of them first had sex. Mong-ryong reads the letter and dismisses Bangja from his service for having deceived him.

Three years pass, and Bangja and Chunhyang grow closer and continue to love each other while Bangja becomes the servant of Chunhyang's house and runs errands for a local strong man. However, Chunhyang begins to take after her mother and grows increasingly manipulative despite her burgeoning love for Bangja.

Mong-ryong finds Hyangdan has become the madam of her own house and runs a successful business. She sleeps with Mong-ryong and asks him if she is not more desirable and pleasing than Chunhyang, but expresses remorse that Bangja chose Chunhyang over her.

Mong-ryong discusses women with his magistrate and later returns to Chunhyang's house. Mong-ryong goes for a walk with Chunhyang, and though it is not revealed what the two discussed, Chunhyang returns with a pleased expression and an expectation of seeing Mong-ryong again.

The magistrate visits Chunhyang's house and after a confrontation with his own clerks and then Bangja, is greeted by a beautiful, but uncooperative Chunhyang who refuses to sit and pour his drinks because she is not a gisaeng. Enraged by her arrogance, the governor beats Bangja when he attempts to interfere, and has Chunhyang imprisoned. Bangja goes to Mong-ryong and implores his old master to help save her life.

Later, during a celebration, the magistrate is seen in a back room attempting to sexually excite Chunhyang because Mong-ryong had told him that she would only bow to his wishes and fulfill his desires if he were violent with her. Bangja causes a commotion to get the magistrate to release her, but is saved from being beaten by the guards when Mong-ryong arrives with a large contingent of guards. Mong-ryong arrests the magistrate and has Chunhyang whipped for her insolence until Bangja interferes, claiming that she has a husband whom she was remaining faithful to. Chunhyang stabs herself with a small blade, saying to Mong-ryong (whose face was hidden) that she wanted news of her death taken to Master Lee Mong-ryong.

Bangja is visited in his cell, first by Mr. Ma, who warns him to never beg a woman to stay, then by Chunhyang, who reveals that she and Mong-ryong planned the whole event after he returned from his exams. For the first time, Bangja confesses his love to Chunhyang. She then tells Mong-ryong that she will not leave without Bangja, and so the three of them depart the city together. When the trio stop at the waterfall where they had their first excursion years before, Mong-ryong pushes Chunhyang down the falls and she is seen face-down in the water. Bangja dives in to save her and runs away, carrying her on his back as he did when she injured her ankle.

The 'present' Bangja tells the writer that he ran from Mong-ryong and his agents for a long time after those events. The last thing he does to bring the story to close is bring the writer to the back of his warehouse to see Chunhyang who survived the fall, but was left with brain damage and has 'become a child'.

The writer declares that Bangja is an amazing man and will make him the hero of a wonderful story about a servant's love, but Bangja insists that the story be told with her fabricated fidelity being the truth, and Chunhyang living happily ever after with a Lee Mong-ryong who loved her and returned for her. When asked why, he says it was because it was something she never got to have, and he is happy with being the hero in his heart.

Bangja requests one scene be written to demonstrate the love between the two characters, which he demonstrates by carrying Chunhyang around the room on his back and singing a variation of the song Sarangga from the pansori Chunhyangga while she smiles lovingly and snowflakes slowly fall on them from the open roof.

As Gil-ro watches through suspicious eyes, Mi-rae conducts the interview in her typically hardball way. Seo-won acquits herself well, though, and earns a bit of praise from Mi-rae before being dismissed.

After her interview, she reports to Won-seok at the NIS office and informs him that things went well. He emphasizes the need for her to get hired if it means begging on her knees, and tells her to skip coming into the office in case Gil-ro gets suspicious.

Gil-ro leans in to wonder whether Seo-won could have purposely come to him, for some hidden motive. Whack! Won-seok chides him for his dramatic imagination to deflect that suspicion, then tells him not to invent worries. Just focus on his mission to protect his father and hire the girl who wants to make a living.

Do-ha sighs, agreeing to fill her in on the full story, taking us to a flashback. It all started last month when the Han family went on vacation, giving the agents the perfect opportunity to break into the small, well-hidden safe.

Still, she ends up scoring the IT&TI job, and thankfully she has colleagues with much better senses of fashion than her own. In that they have any. She dresses up in a frumpy number that Young-soon clucks at, and gets ordered to upgrade her style.

Gil-ro makes his way to the front door, which bears the sign of their cover business, Namu Cosmetic. He rings the bell impatiently, gets no answer, and decides to put his spy skills to good use. Out come the lockpicks.

Gil-ro jimmies the lock open and swings it open just as Seo-won dashes by with an armful of files, looking mighty guilty. At least this room is dressed to look like an ordinary office for a cosmetics company, with boxes of products stacked everywhere and an ordinary-looking manager at the desk.

This is also a nice way to unfold the issue of her growing attraction to Gil-ro, which I find much more believable than his. Hers stems from a gradual understanding of his character, and starts from a place of mutual respect and friendship. His was more perplexing, mostly because it seemed so sudden and based in less grounded reason. Like how she stuck around when he ignored her like an ass on the dates, for instance. I would have actually preferred for him to not warm to her till they started training together, and he got to see flashes of her honorable character (which is the way she started to like him).

i'm also a dolt for not recognizing 2pm's chansung as do-ha till now. i knew he was in this, but didn't recognize him. i always thought chansung was the scrappy looking, annoying kid from high kick, or the weird looking 2pm member (i don't know, don't really follow male idol groups despite being a girl). all this time i'd been wondering who the good-looking newbie was! he looks so much sharper with this haircut. more clean cut (which i prefer), much less party boy.

That last line was hilarious - if only this drama stepped up even a notch on that level of determination. None of these spies are taking their jobs seriously. It's like Grey's Anatomy - they are killing patients left and right botching up surgeries cuz they are too busy yapping away about their personal lives and not focusing on the task at hand. I really wanted this drama to be better than what we got so far. And what is up with her parents taking up so much screen time. If it doesn't lead somewhere soon, it's gonna be dead weight dragging along each episode.

Do-Ha... Wins the worst spy award EVER!! I understand they were going for laughs ( and I did laugh) but come on!!! Was he not special forces before this??? He should be skilled, and gracefull.

I love her new hair cut!!! it looks bad when she puts it in a pony tail but when it's down, it suits her face. I'm enjoying this drama, its my new Full house 2. Thank you ladies for the recap.

No offence taken. That's why I made the Full house 2 reference. The hair was bad all over the place, but the story was enjoyable.

Here You have bad hair, and hot guys, and funny scenes. Sometimes after a long day at work, that's really all you need.
