Desire what is forbidden.
The Scandal streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
In Joseon, a gifted noblewoman becomes entangled with a famed lover and an unsuspecting lady after a secret proposal sparks hidden desires. Their relationships draw them into a dangerous game shaped by attraction, deception, and social expectations.
