"The Scandal," a historic Korean romance drama starring Son Ye-jin and Ji Chang-wook, will premiere on Netflix next month, the streaming platform said Tuesday.
The upcoming Netflix original series, set for release on Sept. 18, is a remake of the popular Korean film "Untold Scandal" (2003), featuring Bae Yong-joon, Jeon Do-yeon and Lee Mi-sook.
The film was inspired by the 1782 classic "Dangerous Liaisons" by French novelist Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and adapted into a story set in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910).
Jung Ji-woo, who helmed the Korean films "Eungyo" (2012) and "Tune in for Love" (2019), directed the series.
