First Look at Son Ye Jin, Ji Chang Wook, and Nana in the K-drama Scandal Adapted from Movie Untold Scandal
I don’t think I’ve seen quite this shade of neon green in a Joseon hanbok before but here is Son Ye Jin rocking the electric dress in the first stills from the K-drama Scandal. It’s the drama adaptation of the movie Untold Scandal, which is itself adapting the novel Dangerous Liaisons. Son Ye Jin is the rich lady mastermind pushing profligate playboy Ji Chang Wook to seduce a poor chaste widow played by Nana for funsies. Of course complications and real feelings ensue and everyone just watches for all that sexy seducing and restraining plotting in this tale now as old as time.
I like both leads but don’t appreciate the French novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses, at all nor any adaptations of the book in the history. The story flaunts raw human desires. It will be a challenging projects for actors. But I have no stomach for the plot itself.
He looks odd for some reason. The women seem to fit the image more. It just does not suit him. Maybe it is the facial hair. Anyways not on my watch list. Will wait for these actors to do other projects. This is not my cup of tea story so yah I’m out.
Handsome as he is, JCW’s face doesn’t belong in a historical. Same goes for Nana. I like the three of them but this project strangely doesn’t appeal to me.
