Son Ye-jin shared the hardships she felt while filming a historical drama.
On the morning of the 21st, "Next on Netflix 2026 Korea" was held at a hotel in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to introduce the direction of Netflix contents and the lineup of works in 2026. The "Next on Netflix 2026 Korea" event, which marks the beginning of the year, introduces the lineup for the first time this year by Netflix and actors who are the main characters of creation. Starting with Kang Dong-han, a Korean content VP of Netflix, the event will feature Netflix series and movies in 2026. Senior director Bae Jong-byung, who is in charge of Netflix series, movies, and entertainment, and directors of the content division, including Kim Tae-won and Yoo Ki-hwan, attended to introduce the direction and lineup of Netflix contents this year. The cast of Netflix's works, including actor Jeon Do-yeon of "Possible Love," Nam Joo-hyuk of "Donggung," Son Ye-jin of "Scandal," Park Eun-bin of "Wonderfuls," and Ahn Sung-jae of "Black and White Cook," came out to talk about the work himself.
On this day, Son Ye-jin went on stage and introduced the work, saying, "I'm meeting you this year with Netflix's Scandal."
"Scandal" is a Netflix series about a flirty and dangerous love bet between "Mrs. Cho" and "Jo Won," a woman who has great talent to live trapped as a woman in the Joseon Dynasty, and "Hee-yeon," a woman related to the bet. Son Ye-jin plays the role of Mrs. Cho and Ji Chang-wook and Nana appear together.
Scandal, based on the 2003 film Scandal - Joseon Men's and Women's Sangyeoljisa, depicts the story of those who bet on love and temptation in the background of the Joseon Dynasty, when having desire itself was taboo.
When asked about the charm of the work, Son Ye-jin said, "The beautiful scenery of the Joseon Dynasty and hanbok hanok are included in the work. These days, historical dramas show a lot of colorful and visually intense things, and our work tried to express a sense of beauty with a living margin based on the historical evidence of the Joseon Dynasty, he said. "The space of hanok is delicately captured in the screen where the margin coexists." "I think global fans will accept it more anew, thinking, 'There was such a beauty in the Joseon Dynasty in Korea."
Son Ye-jin said, "At first, I looked at the hanbok and said, 'It's so pretty,' but the moment I wear it, I can't move my body." I thought about how the aristocrats lived in the past. That's how tied my hands and feet felt, and my headdress was heavy, he said. "Actually, the most difficult thing was gestures. When acting, you can't cross your arms or point your legs or anything like that. Everything was awkward and uncomfortable from the hand movements in the upright position. The months of maintaining that uprightness have been a real struggle. It's hard to maintain beauty," he added.
Meanwhile, the "Scandal" will be released in the third quarter.
