Upon release, Portrait of a Beauty polarized critics. Some praised its courage and visual poetry; others decried the explicit scenes as exploitative. It holds a 68% on Rotten Tomatoes (audience score 78%) and a 6.7/10 on IMDb. More importantly, it won Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design at the 2008 Grand Bell Awards and drew international attention to Korean erotic historical dramas.

Film scholars now regard it as a proto-feminist text, challenging not only Joseon-era patriarchy but also contemporary assumptions about gender and artistic expression. The final scene—a brush stroke completing a lover’s portrait—remains one of Korean cinema’s most poignant moments.
