Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Title:

성균관 스캔들

Director:

Kim Won-Suk, Hwang In-Hyuk

Writer:

Kim Tae-Hee, Jeong Eung-Wol

Network:

KBS2

Air Time:

August 30 - November 2, 2010 (20 Episodes)

Plot:

Smart and responsible Kim Yoon Hee (Park Min Young) disguises herself as a man and takes the place of her sick brother at the prestigious Sungkyunkwan school for scholarly MEN. She befriends the rich and famous Lee Seon Joon (Yoochun), notorious Moon Jae Shin (Yoo Ah In), and the cute playboy Gu Yong Ha (Song Joong Ki). Somehow she'll have to adapt to her all male surroundings, prove herself to the other men on campus, and most of all, protect her deadly secret.

Pros:

:star2: Strong Female Lead :star2:

The female lead here has definitely proven herself as a strong one and shows that whatever she puts her mind to, even if it's a seemingly impossible task for women, she can do it. Go ahead and get that education, girl!

:star2: Gender Bender+Historical :star2:

We hear about gender benders, we hear about historical dramas, not a ton of historicals are based on this. Exactly why we love it. This kind of plot brings out a lot of comedic and interesting situations that are all worth tuning in to.

:star2: Dem Boys Tho :star2:

Can I just say that before DOTS blew up, this was probably the second most recognizable drama done by SJK, and even before Yoo Ah In blew up too. I think these are their cutest characters by far. This drama kinda set the stage for me to watch Sensory Couple and because of that, I now love Yoochun.

:star2: (B)romance :star2:

The romance between the two leads is really cute but... these boys get me every time. They solve little Sungkyunkwan mysteries together and even became famous beyond the campus. Everyone wanted some of them. I honestly forgot the name they went by so if someone could let me know in the comments please? I'd appreciate it :blush:

Cons:

:star: Annoying Villains :star:

So there are a handful of guys at Sungkyunkwan that are just dead set on making Yoon Hee's stay as miserable as possible. They never stop trying to frame "him" and sabotage "him" every chance they get. Its just kinda sad.

:star: Historicalness :star:

If you're like me and never were a big fan of historical dramas in the first place, getting to know this drama or others like Historical Dramas. But if you absolutely can't deal with the historical vibe for some reason, just don't.

:star: SLS...Kinda :star:

I was a big fan of Yoo Ah In as a second lead, and I did feel for him, but I'm not sure its in the way that we always feel for second leads. He's a sweet and adorable character but... idk it's just obvious he's not going to end up with her so don't even bother getting SLS in this drama.

Thanks for checking it out!
