Scandals is a sultry K-drama that Netflix is adapting from Dangerous Liaisons. Son Ye Jin, Ji Chang Wook, and Nana play a provocative game of love and temptation in this series, which is set in the Joseon era.
Netflix's eagerly-awaited period drama Scandals, which is set in the Joseon era and weaves themes of seduction, ambition, and social pressure, stars Ji Chang Wook, Son Ye Jin, and Nana as the leads. The complex relationships of power and love within the strict boundaries of aristocratic Korea are expected to be explored in this R-rated Netflix series, as per Hollywood Handle.

His dynamic presence, paired with Son Ye Jin and Nana, amplifies the tension and intrigue that drive the story forward.
Son Ye Jin, renowned for her emotional depth in Crash Landing on You and Something in the Rain, takes on the role of Lady Cho.

Nana plays Hui Yeon, the chaste widow who becomes the pawn in Lady Cho's bold wager. She most recently dazzled audiences with her transformational performance in Mask Girl. The drama becomes even more complex as a result of Hui Yeon's internal conflict as she struggles to balance her developing feelings with society's expectations. Her increasing attraction to Cho Won poses a threat to the meticulously planned plans and could lead to unanticipated events.
