Son Ye-jin Returns to Historical Drama in Netflix’s ‘Scandal’ With Ji Chang-wook and Nana

Netflix is bringing a new historical romance series to viewers with Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook and Nana leading the cast of Scandal.

The series was released on September 18, marking Son Ye-jin’s return to the historical drama genre after 24 years. The project has also attracted attention for the contrasting characters portrayed by Ji Chang-wook and Nana.

A Dangerous Romance Set in the Joseon Era

Scandal is set in the Joseon Dynasty and follows three characters whose lives become intertwined through a risky game of love.

Son Ye-jin plays Lady Jo, a woman with extraordinary talent who refuses to be limited by the expectations placed on women of her time.

Ji Chang-wook takes on the role of Jo-won, described as one of the most accomplished romantic figures in Joseon. His character becomes involved in an unusual and dangerous wager involving love.

Nana plays Hee-yeon, a woman who becomes caught up in the complicated relationship and the consequences of the wager between Lady Jo and Jo-won.

Son Ye-jin’s Long-Awaited Historical Drama Return

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the series is Son Ye-jin’s return to a historical production.

The actress is taking on a very different type of character from many of her previous roles, portraying a woman who actively challenges the limitations of her era.

The combination of Son Ye-jin’s return to the genre and the unconventional romance at the center of the story has made Scandal one of Netflix’s latest Korean series attracting attention from fans of K-dramas.

Ji Chang-wook and Nana Take on New Roles

Ji Chang-wook is also expected to show a different side of his acting through Jo-won, a character whose confidence and complicated approach to romance drive much of the story.

Meanwhile, Nana brings another perspective to the series through Hee-yeon, whose connection to the central love wager adds another layer to the story.

With its Joseon-era setting, romantic rivalry and star-studded cast, Scandal offers an unusual combination of historical drama and provocative romance for viewers looking for a new Korean series on Netflix.

Scandal is now available on Netflix.
