Ji Chang-wook Reveals Behind-the-Scenes of Bed Scene Filming with Nana in Netflix's 'Scandal'

After the release of the Netflix series 'Scandal,' the behind-the-scenes story of Ji Chang-wook and Nana's bed scene filming has garnered significant attention. As an R-rated production, the series features intense scenes, and Ji Chang-wook mentioned in an interview that filming bed scenes is a tense and sensitive process for actors. These scenes play a crucial role in conveying the core emotional arc of the drama.

Ji Chang-wook revealed that he intentionally postponed filming the bed scene with Nana until later in the production schedule. This approach allowed both actors to first build rapport and establish chemistry through general dialogue and emotional scenes. Furthermore, Ji Chang-wook did not specially prepare his body for the exposure scenes, as he believed that showcasing his physique was not the primary focus of the work. These particular scenes are concentrated in episodes 5 and 7 and are interpreted as a device to show Heeyeon (Nana) breaking free from suppressed taboos and confronting her true emotions.

Bloggers have noted that the level of exposure in 'Scandal' is higher than in the original film, with Ji Chang-wook and Nana's bed scene reaching its peak. The actors' efforts to build rapport before filming suggest a focus on character development and emotional expression beyond mere sensationalism. This behind-the-scenes insight enhances the audience's engagement with the drama.
