Product Description

From its beautiful cinematography to its intense narrative to its absolutely lovable characters, it was just plain charming. - Dramabeans

Set during the 18th century when Korea was still known as Josun, Sungkyunkwan Scandal is the latest historical Korean TV drama series to delight audiences worldwide.

Sungkyunkwan, Josun s most prestigious school, has its own set of rigid rules (e.g. no girls!) that even the king can t touch. But that's all about to change because of four very special students! Kim Yoon-hee is a super smart girl, but she was born in an era when women were forbidden to study. To help support her grief-stricken family, she decides to pose as a boy and earn money from lazy scholars by doing their homework. One thing leads to another and she finds herself being accepted to Sungkyunkwan! But will she be able to hide her true identity (and avoid the punishment of death)?

Yoon-hee becomes friends with Lee Sun-joon, an uptight son-of-a-noble who loves following the rules, Moon Jae-shin, a young man who is scarred by his brother s tragic death, and Gu Yong-ha, a free-spirited soul whose life is a bit more complicated than he lets on. These four unlikely friends find themselves embroiled in romantic rivalries, campus politics, and even a top-secret mission to help the king change the course of Korean history!

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars, Absolutely! September 24, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Five stars and more---I love it. YA Entertainment english subs are the very best, they will not disolve into mandarin to english anywhere in this film. Type in YA Entertainment here on Amazon and see what Korean dramas they have to offer if you need good subs.
I loved all four main characters---this is another girl enters all boys college pretending to be a boy---main character falls in love with her and thinks he's gay theme. This is however, a cut above others I've seen, as the students and teacher readily admit the "he" is an unusually pretty, unusually 'girly' boy.
The story is wonderful and doesn't get boring, ever. It's also a period piece and takes place near the end of the 18th century.
I own a lot of Asian dramas, and this is one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite Kdramas of all time! August 1, 2011
By Julie
Format:DVD
This drama is one of the best! The characters are awesome as well as the acting! I love the music so much too! If you are a Kpop fan the group JYJ does some of the songs for the ost. Also Micky Yoochun, a JYJ member is the male lead! I never found the story slow. I think even if you aren't a fan of historical dramas you are going to love this one! I couldn't even become loyal to one ship because I love the characters so much! Its a must see!

This drama is a great introduction to Korean dramas. It is also a good introduction to historical dramas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, cute, but suspend disbelief January 30, 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This series was a very fun, cute show but those guys must have been seriously naive to have not realised that the main character was female. That said, it was entertaining and, for once, had a happy ending..it is after all, geared toward a younger audience..can't have a dark ending. Product was good--no glitches in the discs, translation seemed to flow pretty well (what do I know? I don't speak Korean).

I loved this series so much, I watched it twice in 4 days and I want to watch it again! This was so worth it. This series is a great addition to my Korean drama collection. All my children love it too. It is romantic, dramatic with enough comedy to balance everything out.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this drama! March 13, 2011
Format:DVD
Sungkyunkwan Scandal is a very entertaining Korean drama which is set in the latter part of the Joseon era, during the reign of King Jeongjo (approximately 1790). Sungkyunkwan is a university (which exists to this day, although in different form) where the rich sons of the noble class would train to be government officials. During that period, there was a rigid division of social classes and gender. Women had no value at all; they were not allowed to study (other than basic studies at home) and could only hope their parents would arrange a good marriage for them. Smack in the middle of this scenario, there is one young girl, Yoon-Hee, who had to pretend to be a boy so she could earn money for her sick brother's medicines, and for her widowed mother. Without going into details, she ended up as a student at Sungkyunkwan (through a series of convoluted events), and had to use all her wits to keep anyone from learning she is a girl, especially the two students (both male of course) with whom she shares her dorm room.

Part of the story revolves around King Jeongjo's desire to build a new city where social classes don't matter. In order to accomplish that, he needs to find a document which was lost ten years earlier, detailing the abuses committed by some members of the government elite. It's a bit more complex than that, but I want to keep this review as simple as possible for those who don't know Korean history. The greater part of the story revolves around Yoon-Hee's (who is using her brother's name, Yoon-Shik) stratagems to keep her gender secret, and the camaraderie she develops with three of her fellow students. There are also a few villains, in the persona of the student-body president and his boot-licking cronies, who are out to make trouble for Yoon-hee and her friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm so addicted to this drama it's making me crazy March 31, 2012
Format:DVD
I adore these characters and storyline. This worst part of this series is that I don't have enough time to watch more than a couple of episodes per day. I totally recommend it. I am not Asian, I accidently was exposed to this while surfing the net. There is tons of intrigue and eye candy. When I'm not watching it, I'm thinking about it. This is my favorite show ever. It is a real departure from the normal young people shows. These young people are very respectful and have a dignified demeanor. Yay Korea Next Old Boy and Bad Guy. As long as I live I will never forget this show.
