Sungkyunkwan Scandal
(2010 Viki, 20 1:10 eps)

A stop on my Park Min Young quest. I was not disappointed! Keeping in mind that it is 13 years old, some minor things, like pacing, if redone today, would likely change.

The 4 main characters where very well acted, but it easy to see why PMY & Song Joong Ki have gone on to have stellar careers. They both stole the show.

Beautiful friendships, a sweet romance, & a smart & determined FL. The history was, from what little I know, somewhat factual. The series addresses class & gender inequality, homosexuality, & talks about western philosophy as opposed to Confucianism.

Although there were small lulls here & there in the action & the romance, it was almost binge-worthy. Unexpected things happened at the end, which made it more fun. It is definitely going to be a future rewatch!

Oh! It’s so good! [I don’t think it beats Happiness for me - darn PHS bias 😉 ], but still a favorite.

Loving my Park Min Young quest & seeing Kim Mi Kyung with her. They work so well together. PMY has chemistry with everyone I’ve seen her with so far. She is a great actress.

One of the shows I started recently is "Sungkyunkwan Scandal” because of Park Min Young. I was surprised & thrilled to see Kim Mi Kyung as PMY’s mother once again.

I wondered how often both these amazing actresses had worked together and found these dramas:

2010 Running Gu (Moon Haeng Joo & Mother)
2010 Sungkyunkwan Scandal (Kim Yoon Hee/Shik & Mother)
2014 Healer (Chae Yeong Shin & Hacker)
2019 Her Private Life (Sung Duk Mi & Mother)
2022 Forecasting Love & Weather (Jin Ha Kyung & Mother)

I’ve seen all but “Running Gu” & only at the beginning of SScandal. The ones I’ve seen are great dramas.

Sungyunkwan Scandal is on my Park Min Young Quest. I haven’t watched it yet, but it was one of her early lead roles.

I don’t know much of Joseon history yet, but “Our Blooming Youth” did have the Left & Right State Court Ministers building their own power bases and manipulating the court & the king. I wonder if those correlate at all to the political parties of the time? It had a great mystery too.
