If both stars confirm, it will be their first time working together—a dream combination that has fans all over Asia talking.
What Is Untold Scandal About?
The story of Untold Scandal is based on the famous French novel Dangerous Liaisons. It tells the tale of Lady Jo and Jo Won, two upper-class schemers who plan to seduce a young and innocent woman for their own amusement.
The original 2003 movie, starring Lee Mi Sook, Bae Yong Joon, and Jeon Do Yeon, became a big hit in Korea with over 3 million viewers. It was known for its beautiful visuals and daring love scenes, though it also caused some controversy for being too bold.
Netflix’s remake will give this classic story a modern twist, with a stronger emotional focus and updated setting to connect with today’s viewers.
Son Ye Jin as the Sophisticated Lady Jo
Son Ye Jin is reportedly in final talks to play Lady Jo, a smart and charming woman who hides her manipulative side behind a calm, elegant appearance.
Fans know Son Ye Jin from hit dramas like Crash Landing on You, Something in the Rain, and Thirty-Nine. This role marks her big return to acting after taking time off for her family.
Many believe Lady Jo will be one of her most powerful and complex roles yet.
Ji Chang Wook as the Charismatic Jo Won
Ji Chang Wook, famous for roles in Healer, Suspicious Partner, and The Worst of Evil, has been offered the role of Jo Won, a handsome but cunning man who joins Lady Jo’s game of seduction.
Ji Chang Wook is loved for his charm and emotional acting, and fans are excited to see how he and Son Ye Jin will create chemistry on screen.
