According to recent reports from October 24, KST, South Korean actors Son Ye Jin and Ji Chang Wook are in discussions to star in a new Netflix drama, Untold Scandal. The series will be a remake of the 2003 South Korean film of the same name, which was based on Pierre Choderlos’s French novel Dangerous Liaisons. Set during the Joseon Dynasty, the series will reimagine the tale of manipulation and seduction in a historical Korean context. Despite the potential for an intriguing adaptation, Son Ye Jin’s possible involvement has drawn substantial backlash online.

Background of Untold Scandal’s Original Success

Netizens Strongly Disapprove of Son Ye Jin’s Potential Role in Upcoming Explicit Netflix Drama

The original Untold Scandal movie made a major impact in 2003, with over 3 million viewers in South Korea alone. Notably, the movie was unrated due to its explicit nature, a bold choice that contributed to its allure. Directed by Lee Je-yong, who is also expected to lead the Netflix adaptation, the film’s success established a reputation for mature content that many fans feel may clash with Son Ye Jin’s typical image. Lee Je-yong’s previous works, like Eungyo and Somebody, are known for mature and thought-provoking themes, which adds to concerns among Son Ye Jin’s fans.

Key Roles and Plot Details

If cast, Son Ye Jin will take on the role of Lady Jo, the drama’s central female character, while Ji Chang Wook is expected to play Jo Won, her male counterpart. In the storyline, Lady Jo and Jo Won conspire to manipulate Lady Suk, a virtuous maiden, exploring themes of corruption and moral decay within the dynamics of power and romance.

Online Reactions to Son Ye Jin’s Potential Role

The reaction to Son Ye Jin’s possible casting has been mixed. While some viewers are excited to see her take on such a challenging role, others are concerned that the explicit nature of the drama may clash with her established image. Netizens expressed their strong opinions, with many questioning why such a well-respected actress would consider a project of this type. Below are some of the direct responses gathered from TheQoo:

“Why must they…”

“Again?!”

“This would be fun.”

“It’s not like this is a masterpiece. So why?”

“No, but really? It’s a waste of the actors. You can find so many new stories if you search in webtoons and web novels. Can’t you just make something with those?”

One user raised questions about the director’s history, sharing:
