'Couple Scandal Season 3' Cast Confident in 'Fiery Drama', Declaring It's 'Not Your Typical Cheating Drama'

The cast of 'Couple Scandal Season 3' expressed strong confidence in their upcoming drama during a production presentation, emphasizing that it differs from common infidelity dramas.

The production presentation for 'Couple Scandal Season 3' took place on the 21st at the Garden Hotel in Seoul, hosted by announcer Jo Jung-sik. Alongside a content business briefing by VeriMedia, the event highlighted the drama as a 'fiery' series that dramatizes the astonishing stories of South Korean couples on the brink.

Actors Kang Se-jeong, Kang Eun-tak, and Shin Joo-a from the 'Pandora's Secret' segment, along with Oh A-hee, Joo Hee-jung, and Kim Ye-jin from the 'Forbidden Temptation' segment, attended the event. Kang Se-jeong, playing the perfectionist translator Lee Sun-young, shared her curiosity and sense of challenge in portraying marital issues as a single woman. Kang Eun-tak, who transforms from his usual kind image to play Lee Sun-young's husband, a former prosecutor turned lawyer, boldly stated he is prepared to be disliked by housewives.

Shin Joo-a, returning to acting after a hiatus and living abroad, will portray the free-spirited ceramic artist Park Mi-na. She expressed her strong desire for acting, stating, "I felt a thirst for acting." When asked about her husband's reaction to intimate scenes, she humorously replied, "He understands because it's my job, but he'll watch it separately."

Regarding the casting of Kim Jeong-hoon, scriptwriter Park Ji-hye mentioned, "Actor Kim Jeong-hoon also had a desire to show a different side beyond his previous roles, which would be beneficial for the drama." Kang Eun-tak added, "He's perfectly suited for the role," expressing high expectations.

Kang Se-jeong and Kang Eun-tak praised each other's chemistry as a couple, describing each other as genuinely down-to-earth and lovely off-screen. Kang Eun-tak concluded by asking viewers to watch the drama with a warm heart, stating, "Our drama is different from the usual infidelity dramas that have aired so far."

Director Park Se-jin of 'Forbidden Temptation' noted that 'makjang' (sensational drama) has now solidified its position as a genre, proving the appeal of the series which has continued to Season 3. Actress Kim Ye-jin, who transitioned from the reality show 'I Am Solo,' expressed confidence, calling it a drama with "twists upon twists." Joo Hee-jung added, "It's a story with the fun of choice, like the perilla leaf debate."

'Forbidden Temptation' will premiere on VeriMedia GTV on Wednesday, the 22nd, at 10 PM, followed by 'Pandora's Secret' on Friday, the 24th, at 10 PM. Reruns will also be available on StoryTV and Damunhwa TV.

Netizens are expressing anticipation for 'Couple Scandal Season 3' even before its premiere. Comments like 'Here we go again lol but I am curious' and 'Kim Jeong-hoon is in it? It'll be different this time' show excitement for the drama's unique themes and the actors' transformations.
