So tell me, what do you think after you've watched it?

Hi Cooper, You wrote a great piece. I agree with you on many points. The plot of The Scandal reminds me of the film Dangerous Liaisons (1988), which is perhaps history's most famous and quintessential depiction of playing with other people's emotions. I also agree that we need more dramas like this, and the "clumsiness regarding the erotic elements" doesn't really bother me all that much.

I’ve only been watching K-dramas for a few years. I’ve appreciated the way—in most, if not nearly all, of them—romantic relationships between two people are portrayed with such restraint. They don’t jump straight into earth-shaking sex scenes the way Western series do. In K-dramas, you can let your imagination run wild, and not everything is spelled out for you. The Scandal is the first K-drama I’ve seen that features this much skin—goodness me! I’m certainly curious enough to keep watching until the end.

This works! Thank you!

I have the same problem. Could someone please tell us.

What a wonderful story... Oh, but such a sad ending.

Fantastic series until the end!

Good, good, good vibration all the time in ep 14!

Episode 13 - now faith returned to the whole series, which was fading. The arc of the drama held up believably from beginning to end. More scripts like this, please!
And thanks to scriptwriter Jang Hyeon Suk!

Thank you, Akia, for your response!

Hey, I have to ask! Funny question, don't laugh!!! In episode 4, Tae Pung's mother "snaps" and starts hitting her son. She's frustrated and tired of everything, I understand. This slapping/hitting makes me wonder. Is this somehow common in South Korean life? In some series, not necessarily this one, the same thing appears. The boss/company owner "beats" his subordinates time to time. I want to know so I can understand!

Yeah, for example, you can apparently play the American national anthem in the background. You can say one thing and do another!

Oh my, I couldn't watch this without laughing. For example, the staged North Korean reception at the airport and the arrival of the First Lady instead of the President were both insanely hilarious. Political satire at its best! I really enjoyed this!

Another excellently made Kdrama. Lee Jun Ho and Kim Min Ha's characters are captivating. I can hardly wait for the next episode.

Writers wake up! In many K-dramas, including this one, the ending was predictable. As good as the beginning of the series is, the atmosphere was dull at the end.

Trigger had to be watched almost in one sitting. Even though it was UNBELIEVABLE violent, I kept watching. Kim Nam Gil's role as Lee Do was really great. I loved it! And on the other hand, sorry, I have to say, his eyes are really blackish brown sometimes!

This is so unfair, you know!

The lovely Park Jin Young and his character Lee Ho Su!

Great, honest movie! Great actors, especially Billkin and Taew Usha Seamkhum!
