No, I think our society tries to romanticize sex for money and make the participants look like rich and beautiful people who enjoy their jobs, except that it really doesn't. It doesn't make women rich and it doesn't empower them. Yeah, they have sex, but not with whoever they want. I don't really hear about prostitutes who are attracted to their customers. Somebody else, with power and money, says who the woman has sex with. So I don't think this character is morally wrong, and she is probably too valuable to be beaten or raped constantly, but in the grand scheme of things, she's not powerful. The kung fu and looking beautiful is tempered with what is after all a vagina that people can use with money instead of consent, and that's what disappointed me. Why not completely boring and inaccessible job that only serves the woman, like engineering utilitarian plastic vessels for food, or making that incense I think she was burning? Why does it have to be fucking? Jeez.
I don't know how many episodes there were because I basically watched it all in one go, but it felt like 45 minutes to an hour. At this point I think I would only settle for both men shutting their traps and being the girl's personal world-saving volunteer harem. (Yeah, I know, I'm being outrageous, but that's what I want.)
