A man with a desire for a woman
Series on Babel: The seven deadly sins and the four last things
系列关于通天塔（哑铃）：七宗大罪和最后四件事
“Lust” is pretty evident in “Babel 바벨”. Seems to be one of the central themes which TV Chosun has delicately termed “desire”.
From Tae Minho, the murdered, to his sister-in-law, his brother, his wife and Cha Woohyuk.
He has an illegitimate son to show
And Chairman Tae of course, otherwise there will not be an affair resulting in illegitimate baby Tae Minho. Mrs Tae as well with her first love, Cha Woohyuk’s father that she said she was prepared to run away with him or if he didn’t turn up at their agreed meeting place, she would kill herself. Well, look what happened?
We already saw the amorous scenes between Tae Minho and his sister-in-law Na Yungeun in the discriminating video on the USB. Lust for sure, not just the physical side but also for power!
A full blown affair
His elder brother Tae Suho was found by his wife in bed with another woman. She wasn’t surprised and knew exactly where he could be found, so it must be a regular occurrence!
Maybe some of you would object to my calling the relationship between Cha Woohyuk and Han Jungwon as “lust”. To me, there was certainly no love at the start of their liaison. Maybe it was “comfort” or “tit for tat” but if there was no “lust”…ahem, sorry, “desire”, they wouldn’t get past the first time and have an affair going for a year!
Hot blooded passion
So there you have it. The key characters in “Babel 바벨” are so rolling in lust! Kekeke! 😂
But is lust a sin, and a deadly one? Will there be judgement? And who gets to go to heaven and who to hell? We have seen some of the last four things befall a few of them, what about the rest? Watch the last couple of episodes unfold this weekend! Don’t miss the exciting finish!

通天塔（哑铃）：欲望
“欲望”在“通天塔（哑铃）Babel 바벨”中非常明显。“欲望”是电视剧中心主题之一。
从被杀害的泰民浩，到他的嫂子，他的哥哥，他的妻子和车宇赫。
Mrs Tae’s had a liaison with Cha Woohyuk’s father
当然还有泰会长，否则就不会有婚外情导致私生子泰民浩。还有泰夫人和她的初恋，车宇赫的父亲。她说准备和他一起私奔，如果他没有出现在约定的地方，她会自杀。 结果发生了什么事情？
我们已经看到了泰民浩和他的嫂子娜英恩之间的偷情，都被录在USB上。他们肯定的是欲望，不仅是身体方面，还有欲望权利呢！
His arrangement with his wife allowed him freedom
他的哥哥泰苏和被妻子发现跟另一名女子在滚床单。她并没有感到惊讶，并确切地知道他在哪里可以找到，所以这一定是经常发生的事情！
也许有些人会反对我把车宇赫和韩贞媛之间的关系称为“欲望”。对我来说，他们开始时肯定没有爱。也许这是“安慰”或“针锋相对”，但如果没有“欲望”，他们会在第一次就结束了，但，不是哦，他们已经来往有一年了！
What will be the outcome of this relationship?
所以，“通天塔（哑铃）Babel바벨”中的关键人物都“欲望滚滚”！ 哈哈哈！😂
但欲望是罪恶吗？是致命的罪吗？ 会有判决吗？ 然后谁会去天堂？谁会下地狱？ 剧到如经，已经看到最后四件事中的一些事情降临其中一些人物了。其余的人物呢？ 请观看这周末的“通天塔（哑铃）Babel바벨”的最后两集！ 不要错过令人兴奋的结局哦！
Lust, is this a deadly sin?

Ah with LUST the topic today… will PRIDE, last of the 7️⃣ deadly sins be featured tomorrow ? Just in time for BABEL’s final episodes this weekend? 🤔🤔
@dorothyooi That’s the plan 😊😘🌹
@parksihoossi can read your mind – bit bit
@dorothyooi I seldom do things in half measures as you should know by now….🤣
@parksihoossi yes very evidently so. Classic example look at your full measures given to parksihoossi.com, your means to a worthy end, which is support for a very special K Actor.
You are right. It’s lust not love of the relationship between CWH & HJW at start. And that leads another pains of them. Mr. Parksihoo acted it very passionately and precisely, didn’t it?
I think the first time, other than lust, it was also guilt for being the one to push her into marriage with TMH as well.
Now that you have put all these relationships together, I can say that Babel abounds in lust. The lust is the beginning of family bad relations, unfortunate childhood, murder, revenge. But also the beginning of a memorable love.
In my oppinion, the most eloquent example for “lust” or “lusted” (from Google: lusted = that has a very strong sexual desire for someone) is that amazing hot first kiss of their relationship (in the bar), which was accompanied by that look of the consensus betwen a man and a woman. Ravishing!
💋💋💋 How I wish some of the lust get transferred to the doggies world that I have waited til my neck becoming rather long to have puppies. The myth that dogs and cats procreate easily, when apply to my world, that is a myth busted. Gentleman and Ladylike dogs they just don’t fall into the trap of lust. If dogs could behave so astonishingly controlled right in front of my eyes, humans do not have excuse to use lust as their excuse for their uncontrollable behaviours that resulted in the varietal of sins in Babel as Nance and Daniela Maria Miricescu have mentioned. Back to whether I can agree the hot 1st kiss of their relationship is the result of lust, again, I have no view at this point in time. Similar to their “1st kiss” on the stairwell which opens up as everybody’s talk about Babel upon episode 1, was that also lust?
Daniela Maria Miricescu Chai Hua Loke Now that is not a “bar”, it is one of the notorious night club that is gripping South Korea at this very moment! Kekeke! 😅😅😅
Park Sihoo-ssi 박시후-씨 朴施厚君 yes yes yes…….you mean that night club (I generally classified them : bar, night clubs, all as On Premise, Supermarket and shops as Off Premise) is one of the current real SK hot news spot?
Chai Hua Loke Yes…and so many K-pop stars will be under scrutiny for their obnoxious, criminal behaviour. Just cannot imagine the deterioration of the K society, their image is thoroughly tarnished by these scumbags! I look forward to having them put under bars…not the drinking kind, of course!
Ah, I suddenly is able to form some thoughts : what about the thing we often hear people said they actually dunno why he or she kissed each other for the 1st time. How about that night club 1st kiss is say fate, destiny, at that point in time, the boy also don’t know why he fell into the trap of kissing the woman he knows very well he shouldn’t? And the woman also can’t really explain it was pure lust that she reciprocrated his kiss. They kissed, that was all that happened in that scene. Was that sexual desire involved? I almost wanted to vote for negative lust at that point. The lust probably started when they got even closer later on, those scenes that Babel never shown us viewers. Moreover even when the lust element was invoked, I could sense it wasn’t lust that bring CWH and HJW together, I like to think it was destiny.
Chai Hua Loke Of course it was only a kiss then, but a kiss like a promise for more, later. But according to the hotness of the kiss, I think “later” between two mature people over 35 years meant “later in the same night”.
Very often storylines in dramas are parallel to what’s happening in real life. Is it a case of art imitating life, or life imitating art? And lust does indeed come across as one of the main themes in Babel running through the fabrics and fibres of the many characters, as they embrace it rampantly and with oh such grave severe consequences. So is the storyline thus created intended to be a rich reminding lesson to societies as a whole how destructive it can be with the unleashing of lust of the flesh and lust for power and position which goes unabated, resulting in dysfunctional families, passing on of ill values to the next generation and sickening adversity to fellow beings. And will the Babel story end with redemption values too? For those in the Tae family who got freed from the shackles of lust ( and the other 6 deadly sins)? What about Cha Woohyuk and Han Jungwon? What about Tae Suho and Na Yeong Eun? We will find out very very soon.
I think only „lust” it’s not enough to describe the nature of the relationship between them. Or rather, it was never only lust. CWH’s attention was first attracted by the poster of the famous and beautiful actress HJW. When he photographed them for his scandal article, CWH was only interested in TMH, he did not take a look at her. Then, over the years, he was contraried by her strange gesture to buy him suit and shoes. At that moment neither desire nor lust was awakened in him, but only attention. And the event in canteen has paved the way for more important feelings. At that nightclub, it was the moment when desire and lust merged, and CWH was irremediably subjugated. The kiss on the stairs is one that comes after a year where love makes its presence felt, love born out not only of desire and lust, but a mutual knowledge too.
Daniela Maria Miricescu you have traced and analysed the relationship journey between CWH and HJW very well. There’s truly desire and passion sprinkled with generous amount of tenderness.
This topic needs a bit of brain works whether Lust can equate Desire. And I have exhausted my today’s quota of brain use, so I rest my case and hence not able to give my view. Nevertheless certainly an interesting topic, especially our CWH is roped in as one who “lusted”, is there such a word as “lusted”…..hmmm
Yes, there is a word “lusted”. He “lusted” after….😂😂😂
your today’s article certainly is even more intriguing to me compared to the question like who killed TMH. As I said way back, I don’t care who killed TMH, the thing that occupies all my curiousity is WHY our prosecutor would kiss HJW in the open stairwell……….or, to be more specific, it was when your article asking if TMH is dead from preview of next episode, and I said I didn’t care if he’s dead or alive
Chai Hua Loke I don’t care who killed a scumbag like TMH either! The world is a much better place without him! And I don’t care whose baby it is that HJW is carrying either. If CWH will accept this child as his, whether natural or otherwise, so be it. My only concern is that the fetus has been subject to so much abuse that I hope there is nothing wrong with it and that it will be hail and hearty!
Park Sihoo-ssi 박시후-씨 朴施厚君 same view! what I was saying in my comment today is your today’s topic of lust that CWH is included, this is a very intriguing topic that stirs all my interest, yet I couldn’t tell if he has lusted?
