Cheaters was a pretty popular American import and it wasn't long before Korean TV came out with their own version, Scandal. While I doubt Cheaters is the paragon of reality, the camera work in Scandal is a little too good, right place at the right time kinda thing. To wit, everything looks staged. Opinions?

What happened to the American version of Cheaters? Up until a couple of weeks ago it was on every night at 10:30 on Channel 33, I think it is called Channel Q.

The Scandals show is 100% fake. There was some backlash about it a while ago.

Why do I have to keep repeating this? Scandal is 100% staged, and there is a disclaimer broadcast in Korean along with the show, confessing that it is entirely fictional with actors and scripted scenarios.

Cheaters at least I believe is mostly genuine, if a little showy at times.

I remember the host of Cheaters got stabbed on a boat, now that was like, whoa!

Scandal is fake.

There are serious laws in Korea about hiring PI's, etc., to follow your spouse or someone else.

Why? Did he catch you on your boat?

It seemed pretty obvious to me that it was fake. The guy was a supermarket bagboy (if I remember correctly). How could he afford a boat like that?

On top of that, in one episode you can clearly see two guys holding cue cards (I guess the editor was working on a tight deadline).
