Released in 2003, Untold Scandal (Korean title: Baramnan gajok ) is a bold, erotically charged adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ 18th-century novel Les Liaisons dangereuses . Unlike the Western adaptations ( Dangerous Liaisons or Cruel Intentions ), E J-yong transplants the story into 18th-century Joseon Dynasty Korea.

Standard retail Blu-rays often suffer from artificial sharpening or heavy-handed Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), which can wipe away film grain and fine textures. The CHD exclusive encode respects the original film stock.

As physical media faces a turbulent landscape and streaming platforms lean heavily toward algorithmic compression, boutique encodes like the CHD Exclusive release of Untold Scandal hold a special place for cinema preservationists.

Although official Blu‑ray editions of Untold Scandal exist (notably the Korean First Press Limited Edition and the Japanese release), they can be difficult to find – especially for international buyers. Many editions are out of print. The CHD encode preserves the essence of those rare discs in a more convenient digital format, making the film available to a global audience.
