The Netflix historical Korean drama "Scandal in Love" will be exclusively released worldwide on September 18, with all 8 episodes dropping at once. This marks Son Ye-jin's first comeback project since becoming a mother, and she will star alongside Ji Chang-wook and Nana (Im Jin-ah).
Before its premiere, "Scandal in Love" was rated "19+" by Korean authorities, meaning it is restricted to viewers aged 19 and older. Son Ye-jin's role and the show's mature content present a stark contrast to her previous gentle and innocent on-screen image, which has become a major topic of discussion ahead of the release.
Son Ye-jin married Hyun Bin in 2022 and gave birth to their child, after which she took a break from releasing new works. "Scandal in Love" therefore marks her first return as a lead actress in a series since her marriage and childbirth.
Meanwhile, the Disney+ series "Made in Korea," starring Hyun Bin, is also set to air in the same month. This has sparked discussion among netizens as it marks the first time the couple's leading roles are being released simultaneously on different streaming platforms.
"Scandal in Love" is confirmed to premiere on September 18, allowing viewers to binge-watch all 8 episodes at once.
