The Concubine (South Korea, 2012)

To escape a life of poverty, Hwa-yeon is forced to offer herself as one of the king's concubines. Once inside the royal palace, two men are immediately captivated by her. The Grand Prince Seong-won, a powerful, lust filled megalomaniac and Kwon-yoo, who has everything to lose if his desire for Hwa-yeon is exposed.

Here's another historical costume drama for you, and a great one. The lust for revenge runs thick, no one know's who to trust and eventually, an intense power struggle is at hand. The Concubine is worth seeing a couple of times due to the somewhat intricate web of subplots and many scheming characters. Though it's done with such style and great photography that it won't be hard to give it another go. 

Genre: Drama/History
