Be a Wicked Woman (Hangul: 천사여 악녀가 되라; RR: Cheonsayeo aknyeoga doera), also known as Angel, Become an Evil Woman,[2] is a 1990 South Korean film directed by Kim Ki-young.

Synopsis

Two women with unfaithful husbands make a deal to kill each other's husbands.[3]

Release

Produced in 1990, Kim was so disappointed with the outcome that he chose not to release it. The film was submitted to the censors twice — once in 1990 and again in 1995, under the new title 죽어도 조은 경혐 (Jukeodo joeun gyeonghyeom) — but was not screened for the public until the 1998 Pusan International Film Festival, following Kim's untimely death in a house fire.[4]
