'The Hwa In Scandal 'Kim Ha-neul expressed his gratitude to foreign viewers for their enthusiastic response in Korea.

On the afternoon of the 9th, an interview was held to commemorate the end of the Disney+ original series 'Pain Scandal' at somewhere in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

The "Painter Scandal" (director Park Hong-kyun, writer Choi Yoon-jung, Walt Disney Company Korea, production Tae-won Entertainment, Studio & New) tells the story of Now Foundation Chairman Chung Ha-neul (played by Kim Ha-neul) and her bodyguard Do Yoon (Jung Ji-hoon), who are threatened with their lives due to the war of inheritance over Korea's top 1% of the seal.

In the play, Kim Ha-neul played the role of Oh Wan-soo, who helps those in need around the world as Hwa-in's daughter-in-law, the chairman of the Now Foundation, and a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

The work became popular on FlixPatrol, a content viewing ranking website within the OTT platform, ranking No. 1 in the Disney+ TV show category in four countries, including Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan.



In response, Kim Ha-neul responded "It was actually an unexpected reaction"I was worried because it felt a lot like the old days. I thought my peers might like it, but it was really unpredictable, and it was amazing because it was surprisingly good."

Especially, the reaction from overseas fans was amazing. Kim Ha-neul "K-drama sentiment worked in other countries, too. Fans wrote and sent letters one by one, and they were enthusiastic about the romance between Do-yoon and Do-yoon. I was surprised to see that the story about the mother-in-law's character was also sympathetic."



As for the most memorable response, "It was memorable to mention Season 2 airing." Kim Ha-neul jokingly joked that the director and other leading actors were going to "Season 2?" and also made a story for Season 2," he laughed.

The "Pine Scandal" ended with the 10th episode on the 31st of last month and will be available on Disney+.
