Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Kills come by extremely frightening monsters at extremely unexpected times.

Sex & Nudity

  • A man and woman are kissing heavily on a bed. The man takes his shirt off, and the woman changes her mind and asks him to stop. He does not obey and continues to undress. He takes off his pants and a snake jumps out and attacks the woman. No nudity, in that scene. However, An earlier shot shows a graphic painting of Adam about to make love to Eve, with her upper body nudityseen, but her genitals obscured by angle; Adam is shown to have a snake between his legs in place of male genitalia.
  • A man being sodomised repeatedly with the heel of a stiletto - rear male butt nudity - extremely disturbing.
  • Ji-Ah becomes a kumiho during sex. Basically she has "tails" come out of various body parts that attach to her partner, take their souls, and kill them. Somewhat disturbing to watch as they come out of her during the sex scenes and attach to the partner. She is usually fully nude in these scenes, but never in the series is there female genitalia shown, as lower body views are from the side primarily.

  • Ruby under goes a version of metamorphosis. She is given a potion that allows her to temporarily experience life as a white woman. However, when she changes back to her normal self, the white skin basically melts off and is bloody. Can be very disturbing.
