In 1954, there was the very first kiss scene in a Korean film 'Hand of Destiny', shocking the nation. At that time, such scene was unimaginable. Kiss scenes were seen only in foreign films. In fact, it wasn't easy to cast the main actress because of that one kiss scene. They did manage to cast an actress, but she made a condition that she'd do it only if she could convince her family. The scene was filmed with a minimal staff. As the theatres started airing the film 'Hand of Destiny', it brought big criticisms. The audience screamed and left the theatre when they watched the kiss scene. Journalists wrote articles criticizing the social atmosphere and the actress' virginity. The director of the film got sued by the actress' husband.

4. [+38, -1] It was a guy and a girl kissing but the crazy society was only blaming the girl's virginity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+38, -2] At that time, if you got raped by a person you know such as a school sunbae or a work friend, you had to marry him. You weren't considered a victim of rape, you were a used woman who lost her virginity. The generation has changed. I still find it outdated and funny when male and female idols get hate for dating.
6. [+31, -3] Kids nowadays wouldn't know but in the past, kiss scenes were done indirectly by doing it behind a tree or turning the lights off. We now have +19 dramas so kiss scenes aren't anything big anymore. Hul, what if we end up getting bed scenes on public channels in the future?
7. [+23, -5] Wow, time has changed... What surprises me is how famous actors are able to expose their breasts and butt and act in sex scenes. I know it's acting but their parents, dongsaengs, school colleagues, neighbor ajussis, and everyone else will see their naked body...
8. [+15, -1] The actor is Lee Hyang who is Moon Hee Jun's maternal grandfather.
