Korea's answer to Austin Powers, A Tale of Legendary Libido stars comedy sensation Bong Tae Gyu (The Two Faces of My Girlfriend) as a timid loner suddenly bestowed with an incredible mojo that allows him to have super strength erection. In this latest raunchy sex comedy loosely based on the ancient Korean folklore song Byeon Kang Swe Tale about a macho sex icon named Byeon Kang Swe, director Shin Han Sol (The Art of Fighting) offers a modern day interpretation of machismo and male sexuality that clearly sets his film apart from previous adaptations like Garujigi (1988). Gone is the big beefy Byeon Kang Swe; instead, it's a wimpy, unlikely heartthrob who endures the passion of one lady while trying to ward off an entire village of sex-raging women. A testosterone-fueled comedy filled with wild erotic adventures, A Tale of Legendary Libido also offers a delightful change of style by featuring hybrid Korean traditional costumes that accentuate all the key body parts and some wondrous sounds of philharmonic orchestra and traditional Korean pansori opera .
In a small mountainous village during the Joseon era, there lived a young timid rice cake seller named Kang Swe (Bong Tae Gyu), who suffered from impotency due to a freak accident some years ago. The target of the town's mockery, he hides himself in the mountains, but his stay is cut short after running into a monk who passes on the ancient secret of never-ending erection. Now in full gear, Kang Swe returns to the village and finds out that all healthy men have been sent out to war. With sex-hungry, lusty women fighting to get a piece of the action, Kang Swe certainly has some work cut out for himself.
