All episodes of the Netflix series 〈Scandal〉 were released last Friday. 〈Scandal〉 follows Lady Jo (Son Ye-jin), a woman whose extraordinary talent makes it impossible for her to remain confined to the life of a Joseon-era woman, and Jo Won (Ji Chang-wook), Joseon's greatest romantic rogue, as they engage in a bold and dangerous wager over love. The series also tells the story of Hee-yeon (Nana), a woman caught up in their bet. Cineplay reporter Seong Chan-eol shares his thoughts after watching 〈Scandal〉 from start to finish.
Seong Chan-eol / ★★☆ / Plodding, aimless and indecisive; without any real tension, it just drags on and on
It seems to have dreamed of becoming 'a second Scandal,' rather than a 'Scandal remake,' but it never hit the mark! By making Hee-yeon's circumstances and personality so passive that she had no other choice, it stripped the wager of its tension! And because it keeps losing focus on the supporting characters, the story plods along. It raises its sails with a heavy dose of sentimentality, then drops anchor in pansori that creates an alienation effect—what is this forced catalog of Joseon culture? If the love story is a straightforward tale of devotion, why call it 'Scandal' at all? What a baffling affair. P.S. I could never figure out, even by the end, what the distorted aspect ratio in the flashbacks was supposed to achieve.
