Some: An Erotic Tale (2017)
Overview
Some: An Erotic Tale is a 2017 South Korean comedy-drama about Bomi, a broadcasting writer stuck in a stale relationship, who begins exploring casual affairs through an adult dating app. The film is adult-oriented Korean genre fare, light on politics and identity commentary. The Progressive label here is modest and largely structural. The premise normalizes extramarital sexual exploration without moral consequence framing, which sits closer to progressive social assumptions than traditional ones. Evidence on religion, family values, and identity politics is thin or absent, so the label rests mainly on the film's casual treatment of non-monogamy as comedic subject matter rather than cautionary tale.
