Painter of the Night
야화첩
Synopsis
Nobleman Seungho forces artist Na-kyum to paint erotic scenes, entangling him in dangerous desire and jealousy.
Baek Na-kyum is a young man with a single talent: painting explicit depictions of men caught in the throes of passion. Having published his pornographic art under a pseudonym for several years, Na-kyum has ultimately decided to quit painting for good. That is, until the appearance of Yoon Seungho—a nobleman who abuses his authority to force Na-kyum to return to his illicit hobby. Seungho, notorious for his sodomizing ways and insatiable lust, coerces Na-kyum to illustrate his regular private affairs. Although he initially tries to resist, Seungho's indecent nights of thrusting men into the very depths of pleasure awakens something in Na-kyum. However, Yoon Seungho's side is a dangerous place to be, and Na-kyum quickly finds himself tangled in a web of desire and jealousy—with many a looming threat hoping to devour him.
