Other name: 스캔들

Description:

Set in the rigid social world of the Joseon era, Madam Cho is a sharp and charismatic woman trapped by the strict limitations imposed on her because of her gender. Frustrated by a life dictated by rules she never chose, she decides to reclaim a sense of control in a daring way by orchestrating a calculated game of seduction. She challenges Cho Won, a notorious charmer who treats love as nothing more than a pastime, to win over Hui Yeon, a young widow devoted to a life of chastity after her husband’s death. Intrigued by the challenge and confident in his abilities, Cho Won accepts, seeing it as just another conquest. But Hui Yeon is not easily swayed. Determined to uphold her vows, she resists his advances, even as his persistence begins to stir emotions she has long suppressed. As the lines between manipulation and genuine feeling blur, all three find themselves entangled in a dangerous emotional game where desire, pride, and vulnerability collide, and no one is guaranteed to emerge unscathed.
