What I think :

Dramas about girl pretending to be a boy ... Last time I saw that kind was almost a year ago on You're Beautiful. And boy do I loved it. Then there's a movie Butterfly Lovers ( Sam Pak Eng Tay ), a chinnese Romeo and Juliet, that was my all time favorite asian movie. Then there's First Coffee Prince, that's not so bad either. And the latest is Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

It happen at the Jeseon Time ( Historical time for Korean), a girl who has to support her family enter a university ( that is forbidden for girls of course) and disguise herself as a boy. Since she's bright enough to enter the entrance exam, and by the King Decree, she has to enter the university. At first she hesitated, for she was afraid that her cover as a boy would be find out. But because of a certain someone, who was kinda blackmailing her, she then has no choice but to enter, beside the King himself decreed it.

There she met three other scholar, a smarty ( Lee Sun Jun ), a playboy (Gu Yong Ha) , and a rebel ( Moon Gae Shin). And she has to share her dorm with Lee sun jun and Moon Gae Shin.

At this place she learn about art, and literature and found love. While the other 3 scholar has feeling toward her, she only like Lee Sun Jun, for he always the one who help her trough difficulty and hardship. And while Lee Sun Jun has the same feeling, he tried to suppresed it, because he sees her as a man. And thats where to funny and romantic moments happen.

I think this drama is really great, the cast was terrific, even at first i didnt consider the main lead characther ( kim Yon Shik / Yon Hee) to be a pretty girl. But of course for that kind of role you need someone without conservative beauty.

They really acted well, specially Micky Yoo Chun ( who played Lee Sun Jun ), tho he's one of the boy of the KOrean boyband DBSK, he really acted very well, for someone who is idealistic and naive in the same way.
