Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Would have given 8 stars, but the last 5 episodes was super dragging that made me almost bored with watching it, hence reducing the star rating.

Where do I begin.

The basics were fine. Once again a girl pretending to be a boy enrolled in a boys only college and has to room mate with two boys. She is clever, so clever she learns and becomes and expert archer in a matter of days, learns and plays field hockey and tops her class academically.

One of the roommates falls in love with her (and one of the others too) and turns out she likes him too. Yeah! One finds out acciddently that She is a She and the other just guesses. The ML has to discover this much later.

Again like all the other girl pretending to be a boy dramas, the Actress playing the role doesnt even remotely look like a boy! But you have to roll with it!

Its a simply good humour story with the bad guy always one step behind. The driving filial piety towards parents is constant in this KDrama, alongside the reality of sons having to come to terms with their fathers' ruthless past.

Have to say this, the fighting scenes were very poor quite stiff.

Otherwise, just enough comedy, lightheartedness, drama and HEA to not get bored even though you know exactly how it will end.

Watche in Korean audio and English subtitles.

Not that much kowtowing to the King (why not?) and mysterious mysteries to solve, before the ML & FL live happily every after.

Omg this drama was absolutely amazinggg !! I enjoyed this so so so much!!! The story line was sooo great !! Everything about this is PERFECTION !!!

This is one of the first Korean dramas that I watched and got me hooked. The story is not complicated but is deep enough to get excited on what happens next. The cast and crew did an excellent job. I truly had fun watching it and I've been going back to it (occasionally) to this day.

My favorite historical drama ever. Song Joong Ki was a scene stealer even back then, so easy to see how he developed so quickly into a leading man. The second lead syndrome WAS STRONG with Yoo In Ahs character. Plot was familiar but very well done. Highly recommended if you aren't a huge fan of historic dramas, plot and OTP will keep you distracted from the hats :p
