One of the hottest and most-anticipated K-Drama’s that has just been released is The Scandal.
Yet, the show has already sparked controversy after Nana’s alleged “plastic surgery” visuals gained attention.
Netflix Actress’s “Unrecognizable” “Plastic Surgery” Visuals “Ruins” K-Drama For Viewers
The K-Drama has become a huge topic due to the sexy nature of the show, including scenes of nudity and portrayals of sex. Yet, while many loved the explicit nature of the show, especially compared to other dramas, it also sparked a lot of criticism.
Some thought that the sex scene between Ji Chang Wook and Nana was underwhelming, while others thought that the nudity and sex scenes had no substance and seemed unnecessary, especially amid criticism of the storyline and show itself.
Finally watched episode 7 of the scandal and the Ji Changwook and Nana’s sex scene is actually the blandest and probably the most unnecessary in the entire drama. The directing of that scene was struggling tirelessly to hide the fact that they used body doubles and it just came…

#Netflix has destroyed #Kdrama.
Kdrama was one of purest show where children, adult watch freely, even parents are unbothered because they know it’s okay, but not anymore.#TheScandal is just full nudity, frugality and uncladness.
WITH NO SUBSTANCE! ⚠️

Even on TikTok, while some agreed it was shocking and surprising, many also thought the scenes didn’t add anything to the drama.
@joylovesdrama But I have to commend Ji Chang-wook for his acting. He played the role of a rakish sleazy man so well. Was it the beard? #kdrama #jichangwook #sonyejin #nana #thescandal
