What is Eve's Scandal k-drama about?

Eve's Scandal aims to give a unique touch to the chaebol theme in K-dramas. It revolves around a high-class divorce lawsuit of 2 trillion KRW (nearly 1.7 billion USD) of a chaebol that has turned South Korea upside down.

Seo Ye Ji will essay the lead Lee Ra El, an heiress born to an intelligent father and a charming mother. Ra El, unfortunately, goes through a disastrous family affair, making her transform into a “dangerous flower” - a label she has been given after experiences made her tough.

Lee Sang Yeob, a rising variety show actor, plays Ra El’s opposite, Seo Eun Pyung. He’s a human rights lawyer who sacrifices everything for the sake of his love after meeting Ra El. Park Byung Eun plays the role of a CEO of a top conglomerate in the finance world, details of which haven’t yet been revealed.

Lastly, Yoo Sun plays Han So Ra, daughter of a powerful politician and daughter-in-law of LJ Group’s chaebol family. Her character is described as beautiful and confident, but mentally unstable with an obsession of looking young.

Eve’s Scandal is written by Yoon Young Mi of The Good Witch and Birth of the Beauty fame. The show is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2022.

Hopefully, the upcoming drama will see Seo Ye Ji in a new light and be welcomed with open arms.
