The term represents how women (gisaengs) were treated as social inferior. “Hwa” means flower, so “haeeohwa” also means “a flower that understands human’s words”.

The Korean title for this movie “Hae-eo-hwa” is another old term for “gisaeng”, women who received high education in music to perform in front of and entertain men of high social status. And that was just one of the many reasons I loved how thoroughly planned the writing for this film was. When he, according to the synopsis, “falls in love” with his girlfriend’s best friend, I came to fully accept the fact, although I didn’t support his decision either. He makes choices based on his artistic hunch. It’s quite a given that his mind does not (need to) function entirely logically. So, think: What if your musician lover prefers someone else’s voice rather than yours? It’s unfavorable, but it’s not wrong, right?īecause the man in question is a musician – a pop music composer, it somewhat allows his unfavorable choices to slip through.
This conflict will set lover conflicts in motion in the story. One may view music as something suitable for high class, but on the other hand it’s never wrong to think that music should belong to people in every social status. Music is a form of art, and by art, it means there's no correct answer. Here is where it could become difficult for some people to give this film a high score the movie does require a little understanding of “musician mindset”. Also, Korea's liberation at the end of the story plays a good part.
It was the most modern period of those Japanese backdrops. It was the last two years that “gisaengs” existed. The setting in 1943-1945, the very end of Japanese occupation era in Korea, was fully utilized here and it intertwined so well with the music theme. It also wraps up with guilt and consequences at the end, leading you to fully sympathize with every decision made by the main character no matter how crooked she’s become. “Love, Lies” speaks for its entire composition: 50% hope and 50% despair, and I don't say that lightly this film boldly runs for 1 hour telling the story of love, friendship, hope and dreams while building up the tension, then, later at its 50% mark, turns into a story of lies, jealousy, betrayal and broken heart for another hour. There is an absolute charm to how its English title accurately describes what this film has to offer. Of course it does revolve around the themes of music and jealousy, but there are more to this than just being another love triangle story between musicians. Let me tell you first that this is not a “journey to stardom” kind of music movie or a story about two girls pulling each other's hair and fighting over a guy. I hate to spoil or guide you to view this film in a certain way, but I believe that the synopsis and the trailer are already a huge spoiler, so here's my attempt to elaborate: I never had such a hard time trying to put my amazement into words. I can't find any fault in this piece, still.

It's been exactly 3 weeks since I completed this movie, and I've made sure that I'm not emotionally attached or blindingly giving full scores.
