The Korean drama "The Scandal" attracted attention immediately after its release, in which the series of hot scenes of actor Ji Chang Wook became a topic of lively discussion among audiences.
In the movie, Ji Chang Wook plays Jo Won, who is known as the number one love enthusiast in Joseon and has many intimate and intimate scenes with female co-stars. The actor also directly performs scenes with a high level of boldness, almost completely naked.
Sharing in an interview on September 22, Ji Chang Wook admitted: "Lovemaking scenes are something that puts a lot of pressure on actors.
The actor said that his bed scene with Nana was filmed after the two had coordinated in many other segments of the work. Building a connection beforehand helped the two actors reduce stress when performing intimate scenes.
“We have filmed enough scenes with Nana before performing the bed scene. However, it is still not comfortable because there are many staff present at the studio,” he shared.
The film crew proactively arranged these scenes in the later stages of the production process, so that the actors could perform in a more stable state.
Ji Chang Wook said that he did not prepare his physique just for the purpose of making himself look better in nude scenes.
I wasn't prepared to look really beautiful just because of the nude scene. Of course, this creates pressure, but the exchanges with the director helped me gain a little more courage," he said.
Besides sharing about the hot scene, Ji Chang Wook also frankly talked about the mixed reactions to "The Scandal".
According to Korean media, after its release, "The Scandal" received many mixed opinions. The film was praised for exploiting traditional Korean beauty through hanbok, folk paintings and pansori.
However, some opinions suggest that the work is not dramatic enough and lacks the sensuality that is needed in a story revolving around love and desire.
Besides, many viewers commented that the film "abuses hot scenes" to attract viewers and create controversy.
Before these reviews, Ji Chang Wook shared: "I am very sorry. The fact that my work receives negative reviews makes me sad and feel regretful, but this is also a reaction that I predicted in advance.
However, he emphasized: "As an actor, this is a work worth trying in my life.
Ji Chang Wook also accepts the possibility that "The Scandal" may not be a work that audiences remember for a long time.
Personally, I want to say that even if I only receive negative reviews, this is not a wrong choice. Maybe in the end this will be a work forgotten by the public, but I don't feel ashamed of it," he said.
