Officially, Song Kang and Kim So Hyun will reunite on screen once again to star in their next romantic series White Scandal (literal title). This latest MBC drama will reunite both the actors after their successful stint in MBC drama Love Alarm, which was aired five years back. MBC has finally announced Song Kang and Kim So Hyun as lead roles in this latest series.
Song Kang And Kim So Hyun Confirmed For White Scandal
MBC made an official announcement on the 25th of August stating that the actors Song Kang and Kim So Hyun will be starring in the upcoming White Scandal. It is a drama series which has been adapted from a webtoon and which will be centered on romance, fame, pressure from the family and the wounds of the characters.
Song Kang will portray Dan Yi Hyuk, the heir of the third generation of the chaebol who is also working as an actor. In spite of his belonging to a family which has a lot of power, he does not want to succeed them. He ends up being between the expectations related to him and the desire of living his life. As for Kim So Hyun, she will portray Ji Eun Seol, a former child actor whose career went down. Her character has some wounds in her past.
What Is White Scandal About?
In the upcoming drama, viewers will watch Yi Hyuk and Eun Seol who begin to date just to fool everyone else around them. But in the beginning, the pre-planned plan slowly transforms into something much more complex, as both Yi Hyuk and Eun Seol start to help one another heal their inner wounds.
By starting off with a fake-romance concept, White Scandal is sure to have its space to fill up with a typical romance drama. At the same time, it is anticipated that the personal problems of the characters will contribute to the emotional element of the story.

Now, however, it is confirmed that both of them would be leading the show, with their reunion as on-screen partners raising a lot of interest among fans remembering their earlier chemistry. What is more, however, is the fact that this time around the actors will be in entirely different circumstances.

The White Scandal features many of the elements that viewers of romance dramas have come to appreciate, such as fake love, the lives of celebrities, family pressure, and emotionally complex individuals. There is also a nice juxtaposition between Song Kang's role as the son of a chaebol and Kim So Hyun's former role as a child star, despite both having vastly different origins due to the fact that they face similar pressures. Since MBC has officially confirmed the lead actors, the anticipation is rising regarding more information about the drama's supporting actors, schedule, and premiere date.
