Jang Ryul Discusses Portraying Playboy Character In “The Scandal Of Chunhwa,” The Drama’s Unique Charm, And More

Jang Ryul has offered a closer look at his character in the upcoming TVING drama “The Scandal of Chunhwa”!

“The Scandal of Chunhwa” is a historical romance drama that tells the story of Princess Hwa Ri (Go Ara) who, after experiencing the heartbreak of her first love, declares her intention to choose her future husband herself. Her groundbreaking decision throws the royal palace into turmoil and entangles her with two men: Choi Hwan (Jang Ryul), the city’s most notorious playboy, and Jang Won (SF9’s Chani), the city’s most eligible bachelor.

Jang Ryul takes on the role of Choi Hwan, the city’s wealthiest merchant and most notorious playboy. Choi Hwan not only dominates the city’s prime marketplaces but also captivates women’s hearts with his sharp wit and smooth words. Known as the city’s “idol,” Choi Hwan stuns everyone when he becomes the first to join Princess Hwa Ri’s unprecedented husband selection process.

Reflecting on his casting, Jang Ryul shared, “When I was first offered ‘The Scandal of Chunhwa,’ I felt excited at the prospect of showcasing a new side of myself as an actor through the historical genre.”

He continued, “Set in a world so different from today, I wanted to convey the depth and weight of the love that Choi Hwan experiences. I put a lot of effort into identifying the enigmatic charm of Choi Hwan—the key was portraying the gap between his public persona and his internal conflicts.”

To highlight Choi Hwan’s complexities, Jang Ryul explained his approach: “I focused on depicting a character who strives to find confidence in two things that are most central to his life: work and love. For Choi Hwan, Princess Hwa Ri is everything. Just as he carefully listens to her heart and pays close attention to her emotions, I also made a conscious effort as an actor to stay attuned to my co-stars, observing their performances and maintaining focus on set.”

Lastly, Jang Ryul teased, “Beyond Choi Hwan and Hwa Ri, viewers will also enjoy comparing the diverse forms of love and unique charms of other characters within the drama’s universe. This will make the experience even richer.”

“The Scandal of Chunhwa” premieres on February 6. Stay tuned!
