South Korean drama megastars Ji Chang Wook and Son Ye Jin have reportedly been enlisted to star opposite each other in a new K-drama in works at Netflix. On Thursday, October 24, K-media news outlets reported that the Healer actor and the Crash Landing on You actress are expected to take on the leading roles for the upcoming “Scandal” (working title) series on Netflix. The in-production series is slated to be a remake of the 2003 South Korean film Untold Scandal, starring Bae Yoong Joon, Jeon Do Yeon, Lee Mi Sook, and others.
Set in a historical light during the Joseon Dynasty time, Untold Scandal has, in turn, been adapted from the French novel 'Dangerous Liaisons.' The Netflix reboot is expected to see Jung Ji Woo in the director's chair. He has previously contributed to productions like Somebody, Tune in for Love, Eungyo, Moss and more.
