The film revolves around the differences between men and women in the Joseon Dynasty. The story is about Mrs. Jo and her cousin Jo Won, both involved in a love "game" and have an uncertain relationship with each other.
But when Jo Won conquered her goal, she fell in love with the virtuous widow who kept her portion after her husband passed away. Throughout the " scandal", the love betting game is both bold and contains many dangers.
The film is produced by director Jeong Ji Woo. Jeong Ji Woo is the person behind a series of famous works such as Happy End, Modern Boy, Eungyo and Yuyeols Music Album. The script for Scandal was written by the screenwriter duo Lee Seung Young and Ahn Hye Song.
Scandal is scheduled to start filming in April 2025. The collaboration between the couple Son Ye Jin and Ji Chang Wook was supported by many audiences. This is also the work that marks Son Ye Jin's return after 4 years.
Scandal is a remake of a famous R-18 movie called Untold Scandal. The 2003 version starring Bae Yong Joon and Jeon Do Yeon attracted more than 3 million viewers and won many awards. Notably, the film has an age limit because it contains "hot" scenes.
"Untold Scandal" is adapted from the French novel "Dangerous Connections", set in the Joseon Dynasty. At that time, Bae Yong Joon and Jeon Do Yeon's works conquered domestic and international audiences.
Therefore, with the remade, Son Ye Jin and Ji Chang Wook will face many challenges. They had to overcome the shadow of the 2003 version, bringing a new perspective.
