Now streaming on Tubi and select platforms, EunGyo (aka A Muse) delves into the complex dynamics of an unconventional love triangle between a 70-year-old National Poet, his ambitious young protégé, and a spirited 17-year-old girl who disrupts their lives.
Directed by Jung Ji-woo, the film balances intellectual depth with raw emotion, exploring themes of repressed desire, artistic inspiration, and generational conflict. Park Hae-il delivers a nuanced performance as the aging poet Lee Jeok-yo, whose life is unexpectedly enlivened by EunGyo, portrayed with both charm and vulnerability by star Kim Go-eun.
The film's cinematography captures the serene beauty of Lee's secluded home, contrasting with the chaos EunGyo brings into his world. As tensions rise, the narrative evolves from a quiet exploration of companionship into a provocative and emotionally charged tale of betrayal and redemption.
With its artful storytelling, EunGyo offers a fresh take on the intersection of artistry and human relationships.
