Untold Scandal (South Korea, 2003)

The irresistible temptress Lady Cho asks her cad of a younger cousin, Jo-won, to deflower the innocent young Soh-ok, who is to become her husband's concubine. But, his attentions soon shift to the graceful and aloof Lady Sook, who lives according to her convictions as a Catholic. Jo-won becomes obsessed with seducing this chaste woman who has remained celibate for nine years since her husband's death. However, conquering the most virtuous woman in the land proves to be more difficult than Chosun's notorious playboy expects.

Revolving mostly around two characters, Untold Scandal digs deep into the art of seduction, but with a few more wicked intentions than just love. See it if you want a costume drama with good actors and a love story with a little bit less love in it, but more spite. Oh, and the ending was really good, too.
