The Handmaiden Official Trailer
Being inspired by the novel ‘’Fingersmith’’ by British author Sarah Waters, The Handmaiden is greatly impressed with the fascinating and mysterious details about the love affair of the two women. Having transposed the story to 1930s-era colonial Korea and Japan, the film revolves around four main characters: Hideko (Kim Min-Hee)-daughter of a noble Japanese family, Sook Hee (Kim Tae Ri) – an orphan girl who makes a living by pick-pocketing , Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung Woo) – who is fraud to access the upper class , and Kouzuki (Jo Jin Woong) – the evil uncle of Hideko. With an ambition to take over Hideko's wealth, Fujiwara hires Sook Hee as a maid for the noble woman to encourage her to marry him. However, the plan begins to turn when Sook Hee's feelings arise with her master.
