Scandals is a Korean adaptation of the French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses
The upcoming Korean drama Scandals is based on the 2003 film Untold Scandal and the French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. For those unfamiliar, the French literary work has a rich cinematic legacy.
Director Stephen Frears brought Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ 18th-century novel Les Liaisons dangereuses to life in 1988. He adapted it for stage and screen, and the film received a Best Picture Oscar nomination. Now, Scandals offers a fresh perspective on Netflix, blending historical grandeur with psychological drama.
"Scandals (WT) brings to life a world where love and temptation were taboo. Set in a time when harboring desires was forbidden, the series depicts characters who challenge the strict order of society and engage in a risqué game of love and temptation,” the official summary of Scandals reads.
Son Ye-jin will reportedly portray Lady Cho, a "strategist" and a woman of "charm" who defies tradition with a secret love wager. Ji Chang-wook is reported to play Cho Won, the "greatest playboy in Joseon," who doesn’t believe in love. As he becomes ensnared in Lady Cho’s plan, he attempts to outsmart her—only to put his own heart on the line.
Nana is set to join the cast as Hui Yeon, a young widow who has maintained a life of chastity but finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Cho Won.
Jung Ji-woo, known for Tune in for Love and Netflix’s Somebody, will direct the series. Writers Lee Seung-young (The Art of Negotiation) and Ahn Hye-song (Somebody) are involved in crafting the script. Production is managed by Movie Rock, the team behind Innocent Witness and Tune in for Love.
A release date for Scandals has not been confirmed. But based on its current production stage, the Netflix series is anticipated to premiere later this year.
