Seo Ye Ji and Park Byung Eun Offered Leads in Early 2022 tvN Drama Eve’s Scandal

View Comments

• Yay!!! Long live seo he ji

  • Seo Ye Ji
    She is currently the best Korean actress, International quality, smart, beautiful and talented. She will always be hurt by cowards and the untalented.

• I legit did a double-take when I saw this news earlier. How in the world did SYJ manage to stage a comeback THIS quickly, and as a lead in a big TVN drama no less? Have k-netizens already forgiven her? Does she have a powerful agency or connections? How did the drama/network agree to this? I thought everyone here was saying she is done for.

  SO MANY QUESTIONS.

  Where is @Lydia1? Can somebody please find and get a hold of Lydia1 so we can make sense of this?

  • ikr? Yoon Eun Hye who was an actual Hallyu icon and far more successful and famous than her, plus had a rep for being good to work with, got cancelled so hard just for getting sarcastic while defending her design, that she's barely worked in Korea in the six years since.

    This girlie here brought her drama to her own sets as well as her bf's, to a degree where it affected the production, and she's back after not even six months? O_0

    • @Royal We - Don't forget Kim Min Hee, who is an amazing actress and is still persona non grata. I haven't seen anyone in Asian-ent attempt a comeback from a downfall this quickly. SYJ definitely has the ruthlessness, thick skin, and connections (?).

    • Maybe her casting is for noise marketing since the male lead is not super popular.

      Or I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s news about Kim
      Soo Hyun casted in a TvN drama soon. Sometimes agencies have 2 for 1 deal, like if they want him, they take her too. Granted, domestic ratings for IOTNBO was just average but it sure created a lot of buzz before and during airing and was exceptionally well received internationally. Besides that, KSH is well liked in the industry and has a sizeable fandom.

    • Why bring up YEH? Entertainment is a market-driven industry. Investors will put in money where the profit is.

• I still find that all this situation was really unfair for her. She was a collateral during the battle between Kim Jung-Hyun and his agency.

  • Seriously that's your take on this? Nah this is karma she had it long coming, it's a shame it even took this long but then again before IOTNBO noone really cared for her. Don't make excuses for a person who's trash.

    • THANK YOU!

  • Although i agree that she is a collateral damage but honestly how is it unfair when she has skeletons hidden in her closet?
    Staff bullying, school bullying etc. Those issues have nothing to do with kim jung hyun. Jo byung gu whose case is still under investigation and he missed out a baeksang nomination because of that. And other bully idols, they were criticised too. seo yeji shouldn't be left out just because her exposure was kind of unconventional.

• Sadly being pretty will always be enough.

• Ill be really happy if she accepts this. If she doesnt, I am glad she is still receiving scripts. Shes an amazing actress and I will still watch her work in the future.

• lol this will likely flop because image is everything for FEMALE celebs in SK (and now she has a bitchy one), but best of luck to her and her fans.

  • Don’t be so sure, people have short term memory and unless the actor personally harmed their family member, they don’t care about their real life personality. The people commenting on celebrity news/scandals and those actually watching TV are not necessarily the same demographic. Honestly the plot sounds right up the alley of TV watching ahjummas. Also this drama will likely be on Netflix and most international viewers could care less about her scandal. I read from the soompi article this drama is a hot topic among insiders because of the solid script.

• I want her to act because I think she is one of the better Korean actresses but her real life personality will always be questionable to me. The scandals were too disturbing and her failing to defend herself and just staying quiet and crawling out once things are relatively calm just makes her seem guilty.

• No, just no. She is problematic and not because she was an manipulative girlfriend (not my business) but because she tried to interfere with her boyfriends drama production. As a fellow actor that was a crappy thing to do. I liked her in IONTBO but I will not watch her in anything else.

  The fact that she did not apologize personally for her actions will always bother me.

• Usually actors lie low for a bit longer than this.

  • Her ego won't allow it which shows the type of person she is. She didn't apologize for a reason...

• People have a memory loss when it comes to her, the hold she has on people is unbelievable. She's absolutely a trash person who couldve redeemed herself somewhat but her silence speaks volumes.

  @koala,are you taking the reddit route in censoring, why are my replies not up?
