The Plot and Global Success of Netflix Scandal
Netflix Scandal tells the daring and dangerous love wager orchestrated by Lady Cho, a woman blessed with extraordinary talents yet confined by the societal constraints of the Joseon Dynasty, and Won, the greatest playboy in Joseon. The story also weaves in the fate of Hee-yeon, another woman entangled in their high-stakes game.
Newly released behind-the-scenes stills capture the cast’s intense passion for acting and the warm, cheerful atmosphere on set. Photos show the actors deeply focused as they monitor their performances and exchange serious notes with director Jung Ji-woo and the crew. Contrary to the tense and suspenseful mood on screen, Son Ye-jin (playing Lady Cho), Ji-Chang-wook (playing Won), and Nana (playing Ahn Hee-yeon) flash bright smiles, showcasing wonderful on-set chemistry.
Breakout Stars and Stunning Visuals
The behind-the-scenes cuts also highlight Han Sun-hwa, who has been newly rediscovered through her role as Boon-hee, and Shin Yoon-ha, who is making a strong impression as a rising star through her character So-ok. Global viewers continue to praise the series for its vibrant, colorful hanbok and sophisticated mis-en-scène.
