Son Ye Jin will meet viewers as Lady Cho in Netflix’s The Scandal, premiering on September 18. The series marks her first historical drama role in approximately 24 years, following her appearance in the 2002 film Chihwaseon.
In particular, Son Ye Jin’s character in The Scandal is expected to showcase a side of the actress that differs from her familiar pure and lovable image. Playing Lady Cho, a woman in the Joseon era who embarks on a dangerous game of love, she will portray hidden desires and powerful charisma beneath an outwardly respectable demeanor.
Meanwhile, Son Ye Jin’s styling at the series’ press conference also captured attention.
On the day, Son Ye Jin wore a black flared mini dress layered over a subtly sheer black turtleneck, creating a look that was both polished and quietly sensual. The black turtleneck covering her neckline added a calm and elegant touch, while the delicate sheer fabric provided a subtle accent to an otherwise all-black outfit.
She completed the look with a flared mini dress that naturally widened from the waist, revealing her long, slender legs. Her toned figure, maintained through regular exercise, was fully on display, adding a healthy sense of sex appeal that contrasted with the dress’s sweet and feminine silhouette.
The key point was the way she achieved “a hint of daring beneath her elegance” without looking overly dressed up. Black platform sandals with ankle straps further accentuated her long legs.
Son Ye Jin’s return to historical drama after 24 years is generating even more anticipation as she transforms from the pure, innocent first-love type of character into a woman who takes control of desire and love.
Nine days earlier, her husband Hyun Bin will also make his return in Made in Korea Season 2, playing Baek Ki Tae, a character driven by even greater ambition. Set nine years after the events of Season 1, the new season will feature him as a man who has risen closer to the pinnacle of power, promising a performance filled with weighty charisma.
One is a man pursuing power, while the other is a woman embarking on a dangerous game of love. Noir and historical drama, charisma and irresistible allure. With the real-life married couple meeting viewers through their respective projects in the same month, September is set to offer an extra point of excitement as audiences watch to see whether Hyun Bin’s masculine appeal or Son Ye Jin’s captivating allure will leave the more powerful impression.
