It did seem to me that women were allowed as pupils and teachers. When Moon Jae Shin met that girl on the roof he said something like "what does Sungkyunkwan teach its pupils today", so that sounded as if girls were allowed, too. But yeah, then calling her Kim Yoon Shik doesn't make any sense...<br />I also wonder what happened with Cho Sun. She was a pretty cool character, too. Am I the only one who wanted her to end up with Moon Jae Shin?<br />And isn't it weird where Moon Jae Shin and Gu Yong Ha ended up? I mean, ok selling clothes to gisaengs seems like the perfect job for Gu Yong Ha, but he did study at the university... And is Moon Jae Shin a simple soldier? A script, the son of the Minister of Justice and protégé of the king?<br /><br />PS: Great review, I referenced it in mine.Elenirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962711349913719208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-41382647591698794212013-09-05T15:44:05.759-06:002013-09-05T15:44:05.759-06:00You are not the last one to see this drama, 2 and ...You are not the last one to see this drama, 2 and a half years of fandom later I still haven't gotten to watching this one. The reason for it might be that I read the recaps for it on Dramabeans. But the more I think about it, the more I think I need to see an intelligent female lead in Korean dramas, so I guess I'll be watching this one soon. Plus I love Song Joong Ki, don't like Yoochun much though. nimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907809684097066221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-37950347536779558602013-08-08T10:45:12.282-06:002013-08-08T10:45:12.282-06:00I would have loved to see all of them still workin...I would have loved to see all of them still working together as friends! Besides, I'm pretty sure that half of the people in the palace already knew that she was a girl, so the baby bump would come as no surprise.Vivihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518010523528252915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-90570087950977136162013-08-07T11:30:04.103-06:002013-08-07T11:30:04.103-06:00I love your review, and completely agree about the...I love your review, and completely agree about the ending. I read somewhere that the original manwha wrapped up with all four of them working at the palace library, which seems more logical. Stacks of books are great for hiding baby bumps, as television often reminds us.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062557298628072047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-72058190340758497632013-08-07T10:51:13.374-06:002013-08-07T10:51:13.374-06:00Oooooh now THAT is a tough choice!

She was awesome and kick ass in City Hunter, my first Kdrama! So hard to decide what to watch next--this or Coffee Prince (because of your review, too). :DBernicehttp://templeandarch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-78984644985377811202013-08-07T05:06:01.443-06:002013-08-07T05:06:01.443-06:00I love sungkyunkwan scandal, it was the first dram...I love sungkyunkwan scandal, it was the first drama where I fell for the second lead, but the romance of the main leads convinced me enough that they were perfect for each other, as far I recall Moon jae shin never confessed his love to her, he watched over her like a big brother.

I enjoyed your excellent review, thanks for the quick history fill-in, and for letting me know I'm not the only person who though "mouseketeer" with those hats!<br /><br />I agree that the ending was rushed and somewhat contradictory in terms of her status, but I still like it on an OTP level because it fitted with the romance overall. Sungkyunkwan was the first of 4 Park Min Young series I watched last month, and the ONLY one with a truly satisfying romance. I don't just mean the climax, but the development too - the notes in the library, the holding hands while studying and the changing location of her ring all contributed to making the romance the heart (sorry!) of the story, and the ending made sense in that narrow context, even though it was disappointingly superficial from a plot development/political point of view. mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042500344000182850noreply@blogger.com
