Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Five Stars, Absolutely!
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. You will love this!

One of my favorite Kdramas of all time!
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.

I loved this drama!

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...
