Ji Chang-wook has said publicly that The Scandal is releasing around Chuseok, which is why it's expected to get the Sept 18 slot. Mousetrap is already rated and has had its subtitles uploaded on the Netflix app, while The Scandal doesn't even have a poster yet. But we'll see.

Pass

They’re also rivals. Plenty of things will come between them.

I can't imagine anyone honestly believing that. All the pictures, videos, chatlogs, and letters from his time in the military in his handwriting being "AI", sure. Him lying about ever being in a relationship with her, then later admitting it, and her choosing to end her life on his birthday, tells you everything you need to know about how she was treated by him.

It's entirely unsurprising that someone as powerful as him would be able to bury this. Especially in a country as rife with corruption among the powerful elite as Korea. So predictable.

There is nothing new here. It’s still in the Philippines, where every criminal can get work.

Normal people: Oh this drama's main plot is a trope I don't like, I'll skip it.

Love triangle haters: Oh this drama is centered around a love triangle! I'll watch it and complain about it loudly every week until it's over and then rate it a 1 and then find a new drama with a love triangle.

This isn't grabbing my attention at all plot-wise and I don't like the styling for either of the leads. Looking forward to seeing Jung Hae-in in something that isn't a romcom soon (and pls with short hair again).

Well the drama is finished, and Ha Young is the lead. I though Shin Ye-eun was underwhelming in Doctor on the Edge, so I hope she can do better in the upcoming drama with Park Bo-gum.

Kwak Dong-yeon is in this too

They’re calling him unc and saying they look like father and daughter because Boyoung looks younger than she is.

It’s so funny knetz are melting down over this pairing while internationals are excited

That’s what they do on most of these articles. Miserable people love to spread their misery around.

It’s obvious to everyone who’s not a fan of this man what happened. He denied even dating her at first. A blatant lie. When it became clear he couldn’t get away with it, he admitted to dating her *but* only when she was an adult of course (still grooming, still huge age gap, still power imbalance with his fame). And now we are supposed to believe all chat logs, all pictures, all videos, all letters he sent to her while in the military, were “faked”. That she uploaded that picture on IG and later chose to end her life on his birthday for “no reason”. The only reason he is going to get away with this is because he is a powerful man with powerful friends. Nothing else.

Finally something other than romance.

Other than a haunted palace they seem very different. This isn’t a comedy/romance for one. It’s action/horror. Haunted Palace also largely felt like a pretty standard historical drama, which this doesn’t at all to me based on the previews.

Yeah, that’s right

Actually most of us are not spending much time thinking about SML at all. Harmless character with like three minutes of screen time per episode. Which is why it’s so funny that he’s all you talk about, just because he exists and talks to FL 😭

The only annoying party here is you—utterly obsessed with SML for the entirety of the drama’s run.

Sounds like these “fans” should get a life.

Same account said The Scandal is September. Maybe a recent shuffle. We should know for sure soon enough.
