Note:
(a) "Like a Victorian settee infested with vipers, Park Chan-wook's 'The Handmaiden [no hanja]' mixes the elegant and the dangerous * * * Based on the 2002 English novel 'Fingersmith,' whose author, Sarah Waters, did her own bit of shoplifting from 19th-century literature, 'The Handmaiden' begins in a rain-soaked, colonial Korea, where a young woman named Tamako (Kim Tae-ri [no hanja]) is dispatched, Jane Eyre [Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel]-like, to the wondrous home of wealthy book collector Kouzuki (Cho Jin-woong 趙震雄). There, on a vast estate designed to be half English, half Japanese and total metaphor, she is to serve the extraordinarily beautiful and sheltered Lady Hideko 秀子 (Kim Min-hee 金敏姬), niece of Kouzuki's late wife."

(ii) Fingersmith (novel)

(section 3 Explanation of title: A fingersmith is a petty thief)

Well I can not find the word in any online dictionary, including Oxford. But

fingersmith (n): "A talented thief. Originally fingersmith meant anyone talented at using his/her fingers in any matter whatsoever. It evolved to mean someone talented at stealing. Sarah Waters wrote a brilliant novel called 'Fingersmith' about a man who swindles a woman; he was a thief."

(iii) 趙震雄 played 上月, a Japanese surname whose transliteration may be Kouzuki or Kōzuki. (Either "ou" or "ō" signifies a long vowel for "o.")

(b) "Tamako is actually named Sookee—master pickpocket, expert appraiser of stolen goods, protégée of the Fagin-like figure (Lee Yong-nyeo) who raised the girl after her mother was hanged. Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo [no hanja]), the charmer who instructs Hideko in art, is a con man scheming to marry her, steal her fortune and have her declared insane."
