The Story
Kim Yun Hee supports her mother and sick brother by posing as a boy and taking odd writing job for a local book seller. When the merchant offers to pay her a large sum to take the national exam for someone, she can’t refuse. But when a young scholar catches her and recognizes her natural talent, he pressures her into coming to study for herself. Now, surrounded by roommates and friends who all believe she is just one of the guys, she has the chance to achieve her scholarly dreams. But close proximity makes it hard for her to keep her secret, and as hearts and emotions become involved, things get much more complicated.
Should I Watch
“Sungkyunkwan Scandal” is a light-hearted, gender-bender historical romance that intensifies toward the end with some mystery and political intrigue. Because this one aired back in 2010, you are likely to see lots of familiar faces among this fun, talented cast. The breezy rom-com feeling in the first half and the fun bromance make it an easy watch, even if you are new to historical dramas. But seasoned fans will also enjoy the interesting plot and cast chemistry. I give “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” a 8 out of 10 ramen.
