A Game of Temptation Begins in The Scandal on Netflix
This preview points to a period romance built around a deliberately risky premise: a seduction challenge that gradually collides with sincere feeling. The Joseon setting gives the story a heightened visual and social backdrop, while the mix of temptation, deception and emotional uncertainty should appeal to viewers who enjoy romances where strategy matters as much as chemistry. Its central question is less whether the game succeeds than what happens when the players can no longer control its consequences.
A secret challenge sets temptation, deception and unexpected feelings in motion in Joseon. When Lady Cho challenges famed playboy Cho Won to win the heart of a virtuous young widow, what begins as a calculated game becomes increasingly complicated as genuine emotions enter the picture. The Scandal streams September 18, 2026 on Netflix.
