Okay, I finally finished watching The Scandal and I have THOUGHTS. 😭
First of all, this cast??? Son Ye jin, Ji Chang wook and Nana together was already enough to get me seated, but they actually delivered. Son Ye jin is so good as Lady Cho, Ji Chang wook is doing what Ji Chang wook does best 😭 and Nana??? I was genuinely impressed by her.
The chemistry, the tension, the costumes, the whole visual presentation everything is so damn pretty. And I love that this is not just a straightforward remake of the old story. They’ve given the characters more history and emotional layers, especially Lady Cho and Jo Won.
Now, is it perfect? No. I did feel the pacing in the first few episodes. It takes its sweet time setting everything up, and there were moments I was like, “Okay, can we move?” 😭 But once I got into the game these people were playing, I was locked in. Episode 4 had me reeling 🤭I’m shy on behalf of ji chang wook.
And listen, historical Kdramas are NOT my thing because I get tired of everybody plotting and scheming every five seconds 😭😭 but Ji Chang wook said come and watch this one and unfortunately I listened.
Overall, I’m glad I watched it. The cast alone is worth the hype, but the drama actually has enough going on to keep me interested.
Ji Chang wook, love of my life, you have done it again. 😭🔥I’m screaming please go and watch it
If you loved The Handmaiden, Love and Leashes, The Red Sleeve or those messy, seductive period dramas where nobody is as innocent as they look, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

🇳🇬 Nigerian Christians sang “Trusting in the Lord Jesus” as they buried loved ones slaughtered by Islamist terrorists.
Faith in the face of unimaginable horror.

Nigeria: Yet another Christian has been sentenced to death for the crime of self-defense.
Victor Solomon (aka Zidane), a Christian who defended his community from Fulani Islamist attacks has been sentenced to death for doing so.
Shockingly, he was charged with the same crime in two different state courts.
He was acquitted in one but condemned in Kaduna by a Muslim judge.
Christians have a right to defend themselves from Islamists who attack them.
This is not okay. Pray for Zidane, his family and community. He needs immediate help.
#FreeZidane
Muslims screaming Allahu Akbar genocided Jews on October 7, 2023. Muslims screaming Allahu Akbar genocided the Druze in Syria on April 28, 2025. Muslims screaming Allahu Akbar are genociding Christians in Nigeria right now. How many more religions are we going to allow Muslims to kill while screaming Allahu Akbar before we do something about it?

A TRUE LIFE STORY...
Truly, he slept with the lady several times. Later, the lady wanted more, but he had moved on & had told her he was done with sin.
But perhaps, his approach infuriated the lady; she felt used & dumped.
She went straight to the church & told the pastor how his youth pastor was sneaking into her room in the night to sleep with her. How after night vigil, she would hide at the back of the rusted water tank behind the church to 'finish work'
Perhaps, if she was sure that the guy had encountered God afresh, she would have taken it easy.
But she thought the guy had used her and dumped and started doing it with someone else. Don't blame her so much.
Nobody would want to be in the number of the census of ladies a man has slept with.
And the young man was suspended publicly and disgraced. He sat in the church back seat for many months. His head pastor ejected him from his house where he was given a one room apartment; with the fear that he will someday see his young daughters appealing and defile them.
He had no place to go to...
When he gave his life to Christ, he went straight to the village shrines and destroyed all of them. The villagers gathered began to worship the living God. The village elders passed judgement on him & banished him. His parents didn't want to set their eyes on him again, as the shame was so much to bear.
When they heard that his church has ejected and suspended him for fornication, they jubiliated. That the gods of the land have caught up with him for discerecting them.
The only place he could stay was inside an old uncompleted building, without roof.
Any night it rains, he will be soaked. All he had there was his bible and few cloths. But he was there looking for God. He had failed both men & God. God had forgiven him, but men didn't want to set their eyes on him.
The villagers will gather everyday mocking him. Some of his close pals abandoned him.
But whenever we passed that old building, we will be hearing his voice; crying: "Lord, give me power...If truly You have forgiven me, give me Your anointing..."
Months rolled by, he was still praying that same singular prayer.
My late mum would cook everyday & give me to go & send to him. Sometimes, when I come to bring another food, I would see that he has not eaten the one we brought previously.
He was always fasting & praying & crying.
Later, the church restored him.
But the stigma refused to go.
Nobody called him pastor again.
In church, they were avoiding him like a disease.
Some of those sympathising with him didn't come open.
One December period, A great man of God was supposed to preach in that community that Christmas period. Everyone was waiting for him.
The sick, the blind & the lame had gathered, waiting for him. But a news came that he wasn't coming again.
All the pastors in that community were disappointed, because no one could do what they expected God to do through this great man of God.
The crusade was on...
The choir was ministering, yet, they did not have anyone to preach. The crowd was much & their expectations were high. No pastor felt adequate to step into that shoe.
Someone was moved to call this young man to come and preach.
Not because they believed in him, but so that if he preaches & nothing happens, the shame will go to him alone.
The young man didn't know what to do when they told him to go & preach. How can he face every one that knows how he failed. Everyone there knew that he was just suspended & released for fornication.
He was crying, but he gathered courage & climbed the stage. When people saw him on the stage, they started leaving one after the other. The man that was supposed to do the interpretation dropped microphone & went down from the podium.
All The crowd almost left, because they could not imagine what a fornicator had to offer.
I was there when all of this was happening.
Few of the people reading this now were there too.
