Well I think the concept itself was westernise. You won't be making 50 shades of black and then complain about…
Dangerous Liaisons was a French erotica novel, yes. Untold Scandal was a 2003 Korean movie and a remake of it. Erotica has existed since ancient times- Kama Sutra, anyone? That's Indian. Unless India is a part of the West now? 🤔
To the people complaining in the comments: it's not 2004 anymore. People have sex everyday. Koreans have sex, it's not "Westernized"- they're not pure innocent angels just because you put them on a non-existent pedestal. Grow the hell up.
Lee EunJin seems to be a producer at KBS in the drama department not a new writer.There isn’t so far any writer…
I've never seen production crew listed in that area, it's typically been script writers and directors listed separately on most sites including the KBS drama site... it seems like Gu Ji-Won was replaced.
Most people don't really watch Disney+ k-dramas, and the plot is very unconventional, being a political crime thriller with a villain protagonist and no romance + morally grey characters.
Looking back on it, I actually like the villain (Hee-Su) WAY MORE than the FL, Kyung-Chae. 😂 Kyung-Chae was weak & dumb as hell. But I blame the writer.
Loved the first episode. Great acting.Yeah, definitely not a chick flick, and not for the average MDL viewer.…
Very true, I enjoyed it though (I am a lady.) One of my small critiques was how male-centered the show was, but I understand why: the 70s were just Like That (lol), and Korea back then was very patriarchal. Lots of action. Ruthless villain protagonist. The only female characters I did like in season 1 was Bae Geum-Ji and Ikeda/Choi Yu-Ji.

I do see Lee Eun-Jin's name on the KBS drama site though.
