Currently, there is significant interest in actress Son Ye Jin's drama filmography and her new Netflix Original series, 'Scandal'. Son Ye Jin gained recognition through a CF in 1999 and officially debuted as a lead in the 2001 MBC drama 'Delicious Proposal', quickly rising to stardom as the 'Nation's First Love'. She has since garnered widespread affection through various works, including 'Crash Landing on You'.
According to blog sources, Son Ye Jin has expanded her acting range, flawlessly portraying roles across genres from innocent characters in her early career to melodrama, romantic comedy, action, thriller, and historical dramas. Notably, 'Delicious Proposal' achieved a peak viewership rating of 30.9%, surpassing 'Crash Landing on You' (21.7%). It is also highlighted for featuring the early careers of prominent actors like So Ji Sub, Ji Sung, and Kwon Sang Woo. Her new 8-episode Netflix Original drama 'Scandal', released on September 18, 2026, is based on the 1782 French novel 'Dangerous Liaisons', where Son Ye Jin, alongside Ji Chang Wook, delivers captivating historical acting in a Joseon-era love game.
Bloggers describe Son Ye Jin as a 'hardworking actress' who has consistently pursued projects for over 20 years without hiatus. While 'Scandal' quickly topped Netflix Korea charts, generating buzz, opinions are divided due to its slow pacing focused on dialogue and psychological warfare, and its extended 8-episode format. Nevertheless, Son Ye Jin's unique acting prowess and project choices continue to draw public anticipation.
