Sexual assault is the prevailing theme of this movie and happens multiple times on screen; if SA is something you're sensitive to I definitely would not watch it.

A horse is beheaded around the 15 minute mark; a cow is killed around the 30 minute mark.

A woman grabs a sword, points it to her neck, and falls on it graphically. A major character tells how his mother died by suicide with poison. Several characters beg to be killed.

Depends on how you look at it because it's clear the tyranny doesn't stop regardless of regime and because so many people die, but (SPOILER).......................................................................... ex-minister IM Sung-jae, SEOL Jungmae, and YU Ja-Gwang are all alive and living anonymously amongst the people at the end.

If you can't handle blood and gore, just don't watch this movie. It is very graphic.

Not sure if this counts-- the ministers are criticized for 'getting fat' from facilitating the king's madness

No, but there is reference to how being the 'recipient' in male-male sex is degrading

At the 1:21:48 mark, a man inserts small accupuncture-like needles into various places on a woman's naked body. The needles are shown entering the skin very close up. If you decide to skip (which I would recommend) here is what you will miss: (minor SPOILER) The minister tells the consort-candidate to remember the sensation of the needles and use it to learn to control her own arousal in order to be the best and win the competition. She is shown wimpering semi-sexually and after a small time-lapse, he removes the needles. All needles have been removed starting at 1:22:20.

Bath scene not shower, though other liquids like alcohol and blood are poured/dumped on people at other points.
