Though "Love and Leashes" has a content rating of 18+ the film is not especially lurid. However, the promise of Seohyun who has long been well-known for her work with the K-pop group Girls Generation in such scenes has sparked much interest in the film from her long-term fans. Many have said the approach was both fresh and pedagogical. However, the viral interest appears to be highly localized, with interest spreading chiefly on South Korean social media.
