My favourite Korean drama "Dong Yi" will be ending tomorrow in Korea and i'm going to miss looking forward to watching the drama every week. Luckily KBS World on Starhub Channel 115 will be showing another interesting Korean historical drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" beginning today at 9pm, every Monday and Tuesday. This drama premiered in Korea on 30 August 2010 and has gotten quite good reviews online. I find the plot refreshing and unique and will definitely give it a try :> hopefully it will be as exciting as "Dong Yi" :> Those without cable can also watch it online at http://www.mysoju.com/sungkyunkwan-scandal/ or http://www.dramacrazy.net/korean-drama/sungkyunkwan-scandel/.

This drama is set in Sungkyunkwan University during the Joseon era, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths.

Nation’s highest educational institute and the oldest university in East Asia that has distinguished history of 500 years; it is Sung-kyun-kwan University. But if you are thinking of Sungkyunkwan as a boring study place, you underestimated it. It is the place full of vitality, where youthfulness is flowering, and the school where you learn to be harmonized!

And there is a young Confucian scholar Kim Yoon-hui, who gets into this forbidden place for women, hiding her gender. Yoon-hui’s father, Kim Seung-hyun was a scholar at Sungkyunkwan and also a good friend of the Crown prince. King Yeongjo calls him before the day of his death and asks him to hand down his secret book Kum-deung-ji-sa across the generations. However, Kim Seung-hyun gets killed by the opposing faction and the book has disappeared.
