One Bet, Three Fates: Netflix Releases Main Poster and Trailer for 'The Scandal', Premiering September 18

Netflix has released the main poster and trailer for The Scandal, heightening global anticipation for the series ahead of its September 18 premiere. Centered on a dangerous bet between Lady Cho - a woman whose brilliant mind defies the constraints of her era - and Cho Won, the Joseon era's ultimate playboy, the story follows their seductive game as it draws in Hui-yeon, entangling all three in a perilous web of fate.

The main poster features the three leads set against the backdrop of Bukchon, the heart of Joseon's elite society, where social norms were enforced most strictly. Lady Cho (Son Ye-jin) commands attention in a striking crimson coat, her gaze resolute. Cho Won (Ji Chang-wook) looks into the distance, eyes burning with desire, while Hui-yeon (NANA) appears forlorn underneath her traditional head covering. Brought together by a single wager, their contrasting presence sparks intrigue about their intertwined fates.

Opening with a confidential letter from Lady Cho to Cho Won, the main trailer sets the stage for a scandal that will rock Bukchon. Lady Cho makes a shocking proposal, asking Cho Won to seduce So-ok, a young woman set to become a concubine in her household. Cho Won counters with an even bolder challenge: to win the heart of Hui-yeon, a virtuous young widow. As Cho Won edges closer to Hui-yeon - who desperately resists his advances - and Lady Cho watches from the shadows, psychological tension mounts. As the game escalates, Hui-yeon pleads desperately, Lady Cho urges Cho Won to stop, and Cho Won confesses his true motives, hinting that a simple wager has spiraled into unforeseen catastrophe.

Reimagining the classic tale "Dangerous Liaisons" through a modern lens, The Scandal combines breathtaking period-era visuals, an alluring ensemble cast, and visionary direction by Jung Ji-woo. The Scandal premieres globally on September 18, exclusively on Netflix.
