The first time I saw the first two episodes of SungKyunKwan Scandal in Youtube, I said to myself that I must see the movie 'til the end. And I was not disappointed since the drama not just reached but exceeded my expectation. I had already posted the plot of the story many months ago and for those who are curious about it, you can read it here.

The drama is all about the journey of the young Kim Yeon Hee in a world that is not supposed to be for a young lady like her to venture. But because her father died at a young age, as the eldest child of the Kim family, she forced herself to do odd jobs and even pretended as a man in order to work (women are supposed to be at home, right?). And to earn a big sum to pay for the unreasonable debt charged to them by the subordinates of the minister of war, she accepted the job to be a test-taker at SungKyunKwan University (which is illegal and could cost her her life if she got caught) than being a mistress in the minister's residence (since the minister is somewhat blown not just by her beauty but with her intellect as well).

Everything flows smoothly as planned until she met this handsome, very straight but brooding man called Sung Joon - which is a minister's son. Everything turns upside down and she even got accepted in the university because of him. Her life at the university worsens as she met Yeorim (the playboy) and Jae Shin (the bad boy). Having this three people around is a disaster as she thought but it was the other way around. The three helped her in her struggles in a world where a woman is if not a jewel then a toy. She even helped them in their struggles, too that made them four the envy of everyone's eyes. Even the king has his eyes on these Four promising students of SungKyunKwan.

The story flows smoothly that is everything that happened to Yeon Hee has a reason. Like it was divine providence that led her to the university, to meet, the people she had met - everything has a connection. The drama is not only informative but it also depicts real-life scenarios and how to cope up with the struggles one faces.

I have already finished watching the series many months ago, yet, its effect  still lingers within me. I can't still get over it. So to alleviate the drama's crazy effect on me, I tried to sketch the character that gave me this insane feeling.(Laugh)

Moon Jae Shin (Geohl Oh)



I like almost all the characters and the actors in SunKyunKwan Scandal but the only character that gets me feel excited whenever this character shows up is none other than MOON JAE SHIN (Geohl Oh/Crazy Horse). I think Yoo Ah In (the actor) portrays the character excellently. 







Micky really has the potential to be the strict, perfectionist guy yet naive at the same time. I like his reaction specially that time when he thought he fell in love with a guy Kim Yoon Shik (Kim Yeon Hee). If there's a  word to describes Micky's character as Sun Joon in this drama, it would be cold.Cold yet full of charisma. 

Soong Joong Ki is so beautiful! He looks like a girl. Having a character of  a lady's man is very much suited to him. I have seen Soong Joong Ki on different drama series yet, his character as Yeorim stands them all.


Park Shin Yang. All I can say is she's DAEMUL. Big Shot ,really. She has these three good-looking guys around her. Well, she's good - looking herself, too, even being a guy.



The plot of the story is very nice that even my father became fond of it even my nieces and nephew. The story can be viewed by any audiences(young and old). It is refreshing yet it is packed with romance, drama, action, history and a  lot more. For me, this drama has an overall rating of 4.99/5.
