Thus, while it is clear throughout that J get intense pleasure from the literal slap and tickle on show, we can never be entirely sure if Y feels the same way, or if her agreement is simply an ingrained need to please brought on by a subconscious desire to be liked and wanted. While Lies certainly has an eroticism to it (and could even said to be titillating as well as, to a degree, arousing - especially in the early stages of Y and J's relationship), as the sexual encounters of the two begin to push more sexual boundaries there is an increasing distancing of emotion from their physical acts of sex and S&M. The majority of the running time of Lies is indeed taken up with increasingly graphic and involved sadomasochistic sex between the two main characters, but labeling it as nothing more than a 'skin flick' is both an over simplification and, in fact, an inaccurate description:
But to what extremes are they ultimately prepared to go, and how will the reactions of their families and friends affect their relationship and the actions they choose to take?Ī film as sexually explicit as Lies is almost always going to raise the question of whether we are witnessing a cutting commentary on the moral taboos of society which uses visuals and narrative to push against the boundaries of what is considered acceptable to be shown on screen at the same time as pushing the buttons (if you will) of both censors and those of a puritanical mindset, or if we are simply watching pornography masquerading as art. As their illicit encounters become longer and more frequent, and their carnal pursuits more extreme, J convinces Y to try a fetish with which he is rather obsessed, and thus some S&M spanking, whipping, and eventually beating, is added to their sexual marathons. She therefore begins to have phone sex with a 38-year-old married man, known only as J (Lee Sang-hyeon), which quickly leads to an in-person sexual relationship. Y (Kim Tae-yeon) is an 18 year-old virgin who is determined to lose her virginity to a man of her choosing rather than risk being raped, as both her sisters were before they reached twenty.
