Her Shimcheong by Seri & Bi-wan: (drama, historical, supernatural) (cw: misogyny, pedophilia, sexual assault, abuse, violence)
Based on a Korean folktale, two very different women find themselves making the same wish - to leave this world behind. One is Shim Chong, a young beggar living off the kindness of others to support herself and her blind father. The other is the bride-to-be of old Chancellor Jang, sold off to him for the sake of her family. When Shim Chong rescues this new bride from the river, their relationship triggers both love and hidden intentions.
I found a couple of scenes rather sexualizing of the two main characters, specifically madame.
