Untold Scandal: Who plays who?

Set in the late Joseon Dynasty, Untold Scandal follows Madam Jo, who appears to be a faithful wife but secretly harbors resentment towards the societal constraints imposed on her. Despite her outward demeanor, she has been involved in several discreet affairs.

Jo Won, a brilliant scholar and skilled martial artist, has a hidden passion for seducing women. Madam Jo was his first love, and since then, they have been entangled in a complex game of desire and manipulation, concealing their true feelings for each other.

To satisfy her own agenda, Madam Jo challenges Jo Won to pursue So Ok, an innocent young woman destined to become her husband's concubine, setting the stage for a dangerous game of deception and intrigue.

Son Ye-jin has been cast as Lady Cho, a character previously portrayed by Lee Mi-yeon, while Ji Chang-wook will play Jo Won, the role originally taken by Bae Yong-joon. Han Sun-hwa joins the cast as a new character created specifically for the remake. In this new adaptation, Nana will portray the aunt, a widow who has remained chaste for nine years—a role originally played by Jeon Do-yeon.

Im Jin-ah, better known by her stage name Nana, first gained fame as a member of the popular K-pop group After School under Pledis Entertainment. Nana made her acting debut in the 2015 drama Love Weaves Through a Millennium and rose to prominence with her performance in The Good Wife. In 2019, she secured a lead role in the K-drama Kill It, further establishing her acting career.

Nana will make a guest appearance in the newly released tvN series The Player 2: Master of Swindlers. She is also set to play a leading role in the highly anticipated 2025 film Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Some of her other notable works include Mask Girl, Glitch, and My Man is Cupid.
