Getting very itchy under my skin to see the episodes of this drama. This morning they showed a repeat of the second episode. I still am not positive which channel it is on or which evening. BUT.. I will find it. By that time you will be halfway through another drama. Drat.

Watch it, wuv^^

I guess Issy watched and now she's sobbing somewhere in the darkest corner of her room^^

And
what Seonjun said to Blinky's sister was both brave and stupid. Now, it's her move, I'm really curious, really.

naaaah, I have not. i just saved myself the misery of it. but there is always the option of FFing SJ/YH scenes if it gets too much to handle.:whistling:
the last two eps drained me emotionally so i decided not to give my full attention to it anymore. that's why you don't see me here as often as before.
I just can't watch JS in pain and sadness. :cry:
specially the scene where YongHa told JS to go for YH as he thought SJ still has no idea of her real gender. that was just too painful to watch because you could read JS's thoughts. :cry:

THE ANGST!! THE ANGST!!! I need to sleep and not watching ep18 raw. maybe tomorrow by the time I get home, the chinese subs are will magically appear??

Anf Blinky do look kinda funny in that poster.:lol: But his eyes...

I wonder if they intentionally filled this episode with so many lovey dovey moments, just to make next episode a strong contrast. you know, make them fly high before beat them with a stick and fall...

I feel sorry for all of them. Yoonhee for her troubled feelings towards SJ and her love for her father. SJ the same... and JS is feeling guilty towards his father, and he is now trying to distance himself from SJ and YH.... But I believe that since he is a pure angel inside, he wont let their relationship affect how he feels?

I am worried about Choosun though, why is she still working for that ass of a war minister.

If they kill any of those 4, I will get really pissed.


2 episodes left. I am too sad.

One more week and the joy will disappear, being replaced by Blingy... That preview after ep17 really did not cheer me up... Blinky and Blingy... Hum... one differs by one letter. scary thought....

If the preview after 17 didn't cheer you up, what they show after Ep 18 will most likely depress you...
Instead of doing anything of any value to my career yesterday (ekhem, ekhem...) I just couldn't stand the tension and went to some Korean websites, also DC. Fans are like: "Oh no, Shakespear again??"
One girl wrote one fine statement, she thanked the writers, directors and entire crew and said the drama is worth every won put in the producing of it.
This drama handles many topics in a right way.
the scenes between Seonjun and Yunhee in ep 18 are just heartbreaking. He seeks her presence and her every word desperately
And one funny fact, there are polls going on (among all on Nate) if Yucheon should quit music and pursue acting, and the majority of voices is going for the favor of the latter. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I can imagine the heartbreaking scenes in Ep.18... I will be ready with my tissues (PMS week :P)

But seriously, SJ is sooo in love, and he is overwhelmed by his new feelings and seems to have totally lost control over himself!! It is really really adorable, but also, on the other hand, puts him in such a vulnerable position. Especially, as it appears that YH is more in control, sorta... or well, she just likes to tease him ^^

I think she will come around after the initial shock. there is always a need for the angst you know. otherwise it wouldnt be a kdrama! and I seriously doubt that this will be another tragedy. Then the fans will go crazy :D
And yeah, I am all for Yoonchun pursuing an acting career. His smiles in Ep.17 just killed me :faint: :faint:

Why doesnt anyone smile at me like that? :cry:

PS: have you noticed that YH is walking around with teary eyes all the time the last 5 episodes or something? It is sooorta getting annoying... or is it just me?

Well, I didn't see that, but then, it wasn't her I had my eyes for...
I could understand her tears though. First, it was a tears of her burden when Seonjun confessed he liked her not knowing about her gender yet. When he did, and strenghten his feelings, those tears were the tears of joy.
But now she's heartbroken
the father of the man she loves killed her father. She has to sort out her anger, fear, and love.
The scene in the library is my favorite so far, damn, I love this scene^^.
When Yunhee said she doesn't want to kiss again, he writes letters... Beautiful, and so in his style...
And you're right, this love makes him both stupidly courageous and vulnerable...

And I have to add that I totally love Yongha's spinning around himself^^ He's dancing around :wub:

Evil cliffhanger T____T !!!
Can't wait until next week, hoping that Jae Shin will survive the blast...
There were not enough Yong Ha teasing Jae Shin moments in that drama!

Hopefully they won't try to turn SKKS into a tear and blood filled one with the last 2 episodes ahead...

but he did slapped him on his cheeks. Lower ones :mrgreen: Ah Yongha, Yongha...
What I'm really concerned is Chosun issue here. Hoping that she will end up with Jaeshin is too much, right?
Fangirls would be devastated since they basically created a new novel themselves with hot, steamy Jaeshin-Yongha romance, hehe...

Yeah, Korean forums :mrgreen:

I mean those girls are great, they don't sleep and make snapshots, but sometimes I wish I didn't see what I saw...


In Ep 19:
제19강 :: 2010년 11월 01일 월요일
To save wounded Jaeshin, Seonjun claims that he is in fact HBS, which leads him to a dangerous situation. Yongha and Yunhee are trying to negotiate with Students Board in favor of Seonjun, but in vain (yes, Blinky, as we know is pissed off about the marriage thingy and about those countless remarks that Seonjun threw at him, so he's soooo willing to help^^). Jaeshin is willing to make the peace with his father and bow down in order to save Seonjun, but still this seems useless. Despite all the efforts of the rest, it seems that he's left without a chance. after: the Oficial Webiste.

There is one thing in Korea that still mystifies me, and that is "Couple Ring."

If a guy were to give me a ring, I would naturally think he is proposing marriage to me. And by accepting the ring, I am officially his fiancee.
Apparently that is not the case with Couple Ring. What's up with that? :blink

Couple rings are modern innovations. They mark like 100 days of the couple and show everyone that those two are a couple.

Seonjun gave a token of his love in a form of a ring, that's all. If someone wants to call it a couple ring, again, it would be a modern nomenclature.

We have those rings here, too. They're a symbol of your love or belonging together but they don't usually mean you're engaged. I don't really like the idea of a 'love symbol' but others think it's romantic...

SJ could very well have given her a "yours and mine" necklace as token of their love. It would be less confusing.

I thought the writers took the easy way out by throwing the blame on the war minister and making SJ's father accessory after the fact. I can understand their need to wrap up all the major lines of the story in the next two episodes. But still?

Bearing in mind that I still have not seen the last two eps ( waiting for subs) but I totally agree with you on this. Why it can't be SJ's father deed? It would be a good test for their love for sure. Not to mention it still would be totally believble considering his character from ep1 till now. Making the war Minster and his family only the evil ones to take all the blame is a bit childish.

From all I know, they have two endings still.

And they can say what they want, I still call him the Devil. Still, he was behind destroying the book.

I'm somehow calm when it comes to the ending. Unusual for me, I'm willing to accept everything. And after the havoc that Seonjun caused in the last episode, I really have no safe ground of expectations anymore.

Yes Ecchan, thanks so much for posting these subs. Took me a while to catch up cause you know, cause I keep getting stuck with yongha's scenes :wub: :lol
I also loved Jaeshin and Chosun's little dance in the alley. I still favor this pairing...though I'm aware of the fact that it aint gonna happen in the next 2 eps...

I kinda thought that it wasn't the left state minister cause it didn't seem his style to kill scholars. He is the ambitious kind to go over corpses to achieve his goals but not really one to just plainy order a murder. It fits with the war minister to go solo with such a stupid move. But what makes the former deserve his title as the devil is that he did cover it up and totally use it to his advantage. Getting all the benefits without the efforts...A gifted politican :mrgreen: Now I'm curious whether we'll get to see a litlle showdown between those to. War minister should be raging now...wanna see the dog try n bite his master...

And I gotta say it again. I admire Yoochun. He's become a great actor in those last eps. I love his mimic, the subtle changes around his lips, the expressions in his eyes. Utterly believable. Good pick, Ecchan. Hope he's had fun and will continue to explore this field...
About the closure...I just don't want it to end...but I guess a a finale furioso will be better than some dragging 10 more eps

Well, I second every word you wrote, Ara, about the Great Minister, he's not the type.

I'm after the Ep 19 and...
Blinky finally learns Yunhee is a girl. Yunhee finds Geum Deung Ji Sa. All Sungkyunkwan united (except for Blinky) to plead for Seonjun's freedom. Seonjun still in the jail.
Damn, I knew it! They will make them happy for only 15 minutes tomorrow, I'm gonna kill!! Kill!!
And I liked how Jaeshin finally started to do something. He bowed down before his father, he made decisions, and he wasn't walking angry/sad as usual. I guess he finally accepted Yunhee's choice and now is doing everything he can to let her be happy.

But poor Yongha, now everyone knows he's no yangban.

And about Yucheon... his Seonjun's kneeling before his father in the preview just twisted my heart.
Comparing to the first 2, 3 episodes, he's more natural, no, scratch that... he's great. :whistling: We'll keep an eye on him^^
Damn, damn, damn... they could easily add 2 more eps, 2 more eps...
And you know, if Blinky stays the same (and now he is alone cause his men left him, sorry, have no time for spoilers tags), I will appreciate it. To be bad till the very end. There is some perseverance in this boy. Despite all his mistakes, his plans crushed, his failed scheming, he has energy to do more...

And yet again they ruined it with Mary stuff at the closing...

your alteration between the real name and the SKKS character name really made me confused. I was like, YuCheon, there is no one named Yucheon in SKKS :D

As I thought, the ending will be rushed. I think I will watch ep17 and 18 with english subs first, then wait for chinese subs. they should be available on Wednesday :pray:

I am soooo sad thinking my only joy and pleasure in these dark autumn days are being replaced by Mary next week! GAAAAH! luckily I will be in Budapest, I can drown my sorrows in cheap alcohol :alcoholic: :alcoholic: :alcoholic:

and I so agree with you, I also don't wanna see the replacement...

Oh, I love those pics and the rest, too. Especially those in the straw :P

Really it's a shame we hardly got to see jaeshin in proper scholar clothing...Issy might be sharpening her scythe now, but I do do do prefer this look :P

As for SJ, his real life look is the only look I like. I'm afraid his sageuk look has not done his hotness any justice. Suwy e-chan but that look of him with guyliner nearly stopped my heart. :whistling:

My bad. I mean, in those clothes and the belt, the body looks great. Not only his. I couldn't stop staring at Jaeshin in this maroon outfit with this wide belt. The waist what kept me... umm...
I was talking about the line where arms are joined with the chest. Oh well, too much of the mind-shortcut.

Me? Totally opposite?? When? :whistling:

But yes, Ecchan, I also started to like these period clothes. First I couldn't see their charm except for being elaborate cosumes with nice colours n patterns, but the more I watch the more I find them alluring... ahem... :twisted:
Just well...it's only SJ :P

Korean males in those period clothes are like Japanese males in Samurai clothing. They look so right and they give the costumes the proper distinction. Besides they drop off so easily in case you haven't noticed. Nothing gets in the way for a duel for example.... Did I clear that up properly E.???

The stylists have done a really job picking out the period clothing, especially the colors. Have you guy noticed how they match so well with the scenery? especially in ep.16 and 17, for SJ and Yoonhe when they were hugging out at the water, and their color just blended in with the trees and scenery. Aaah... beautiful!

I am not too fan of the hanbook though. it makes anyone look pregnant... But there are nice hanbook as well, just the shape and everything. not to my taste ^^

And I just want to be greedy, so I will take all 3 of the boys ^^ :wub:

Yes, Peggy, dear, you did. But I just have to add: samurai clothes make me laugh (sorry, I know I'm bad), while Korean men clothing makes me wanna eat those men inside them. Personal ... ekhem... feelings though. And the swordfights are better on the continent, dancing around each other is not in my liking.


Well, well, DVD Directors Cut, thanks Aili. I would be interested, I saw that by acident on Daum Cafe. So we just need to decide: do we want DC?
I have to think about it when I cool down a bit. Not making the decisions at the rush of the blood. Is there a deadline, cause I couldn't see it.
And the question is, Issy, you play your YAB without problems? Cause I don't want to buy anything that will not play here in neglected Europe.

And about the clothes: I loved to bits the blue outfit that SJ had when he was training with YH for the archery contest. Such intensive azure color! And the desingn was also great.
BTW. I really like the fact they had normal shoes in Korea, not zori, not geta etc. Zori are pretty, but absolutely not for a normal outside activity. I did imagine DG and TH from Chuno in zori, and I laughed hard...

In Ep 20:
Ha Insoo learns that Yunhee is a girl, and realizes that he, in fact, was acting hostile toward her because of his great, albeit suppressed feelings for her. So he meets with her and begs her to accept him in her heart...
Umm... this won't work, right?


But this will:
Spoiler for Ep 20
제20강 마지막회 :: 2010년 11월 02일 화요일
Thanks to the all students led by Yunhee, Seonjun is granted his freedom. Yunhee meets with the King about Geum Deung Jisa. Blinky tells his father about Yunhee's secret and Minister of War plans to kidnap the girl to stage his revolt.
In Seongkyunkwan, Seonjun and Yunhee promised to marry...SKKS Ep 20

Hum... the scenario is much more likely that Han Insoo has been supressing his feelings for Yeorim, and he is jealous of the foursome, ehem, I mean, quartett's close bonds, and so he does everything to destroy it!!
And the minister of War, somebody (Chosun) put a sword in his tummy!!!!! He will ruin the whole last episode, give me only 5 minutes of oh joy and happiness :cry:
I would also be interested to sign yes, but there is no deadline, true... as for the DVD regions, the YAB special edition, was released for DVD region 3,4,5,6 . but since Europe is region 2, I guess we are pretty much screwed. heh...

Well Director's Cut is very, very, freaking very tempting, but after short and fruitful talk with Issy, the region thingy makes me wary.
I could buy the DVD but I won't buy Tv set, and I don't have any now.

Half an hour till the last episode... :cussing:

This is the 21st century! Why does anyone worry about the region on DVDs? I have at least four players that play any region, and one is a standalone player. And you could always rip the DVDs and remove the region locking.

Why? Because some have just pc and have not much of the options? I have not a one player but my lappie this is why I'm concerned. I don't want to spend 150$ for just a nice set to put it on the shelf.


Heeeell, the episode 20
had one of the most... ekhem... naughty endings I saw in Kdrama! Cute, sweet, but... Nevertheless, I expected a better kiss.
I didn't like everything in this episode, one of the Yongha scenes was completely useless or at least too long, but in overall not bad. And Seonjun, in his style, punched even King in the face. That's the way! But I second every word he said, how King be so double-faced, first talk about a new Joseon and then throwing a tantrum about a girl in SKK. So we got a little love-bickering, a few doses of bitter talks, a few smiles of Jaeshin, and a glimpse of their future. Heh, Jaeshin, hehe...And we had Blinky acting for the first time out of his normal line.
So, maybe a special? Come on, pretty please^^

Lite-on DVD players/burners for computers are cheap and they can be hacked for all region. Same for Philips, and Lite-on standalone players. Think I spent around $110 for one standalone, and added a dvd burner to my windows box, then changed the region on my Mac Book Pro. So I have two computers and one TV where I can play all of my DVDs.

I am on Mac. You can burn the DVDs with MacTheRipper, and strip the region locking out of it, then just burn the DVDs. They are your DVDs so you shouldn't have to put up with this.

Just also wanted to give you a heads up - I actually hacked one of our HDMI dvd players to play all region (i bought the Arashi concert and couldn't watch it anywhere, even on my comp!)/

So if you have a cheapie dvd player, just type in the name and region hack in google and look it up - took me maybe 5 minutes of searching and like 2 seconds to do it!


It really is simple.

News on "possible" season 2:

Will the second season of 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' be made?

Despite viewers' laments, KBS 2TV's 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' ended its story. Many fans are already interested about whether season 2 of 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' is coming or not.

By the interview between NEWSEN, the production crew of 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' stated that they found many points where story could be improved throughout the making of this drama and they wanted to produce another story with these improvements.

But before this interview, writer Kim Tae-heui said, “I never thought about making season two of 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. I was so lucky to meet all the crews and actors/actresses for this drama. I'm so sad that a chance like this seems like it will never be come again”

Kim Won-seok PD who produced this drama also said to reporters, “I do not have anything to do with 'season 2'. Maybe actors and fans want this but the production crews don't seem like it.”

After all these statements, the production company finalized by saying, “There will be no meaning to season 2 when all main production members are leaving. But there is a pretty good chance that we will try another 'Youth romance' once again.”

So i could not help watching the last 2eps (with lots of FFing because i want to save it till subs comes out) last night.
actually i really like the ending. i thought it was a little rushed but was good. no shipper left unhappy. and have to admit that last few scenes of SJ and YH was SOOO cute. therefore, i don't see a point in having a second season of SKKS. i read that fans like to see a SKKS spin off about JaeShin and/or Chuso but not together (i never saw any sparks between these two characters or any possibility that they can match up together). I don't mind that but it wont be SKKS anymore. :whistling:

most of all, i liked the sneak preview in all 4 future. JaeShin's is SOOOO funny
:lol

still have problem in thinking that JS actually is as clever as SJ, YH and maybe more. but apparently he is.

Jaeshin was no idiot. Well he behaved sometimes like one, but he was really well educated. He read all those books, remember?

I would like to see some kind of special, but you're right about the second saeson. No use.

An opening for this drama and download link:
I like to think of myself as "devoted" not "obsessed". It has bad connotations.

Episode 19 was a drag, but episode 20 more than made it up. The last episode had me in tears and also got me laughing hysterically.

I was surprised that the most tear-jerking scene had nothing to do with the main characters. I reached for my tissue box over the King and Professor Jung. The King was exasperated that Professor Jung withheld a very important information from him that had a potential to upset all his plans. The professor's only defense was, although he had learned that all people are created equal, he only believes in his king's decree. Professor's glistening eyes spoke volumes about his faith in his king. And that tugs my heartstrings.

As for the funniest scene, it happens to also be the cheesiest scene in the entire drama. If SJ was thawing into a normal human from ep1 to ep19, then he had graduated into a repressed hentai ojisan in ep20. Damn you, GIVE ME BACK MY OLD SJ!! :hissy:

I wished they had more time to explore Chosun/Blinkey combo because those two got potential. Then again, "son turning against his father because he is in love with his father's mistress" storyline is not exactly YA appropriate. I'll have to settle for son coming to mistress' rescue after her failed attempt to kill his father. 8)

I've only just watched the first episode
Hehehehe it's so CUUUTE. I love the hentai guy. He's so so adorable, and his smile is awesome eh! Hahahah. I also like the... scholar dude who threw away the hair that was collected by someone else at the first episode... Also, the homeless looking guy. Awww, I love all of them. I'm just at my first episode though, so I can't really remember their names properly just yet. Hahahaha. I love how my favorite guy wears his clothes. At first it was a nice shade of purple, and then he's wearing yellow. I love it I love it! hahahaha
Will be watching the next episode tonight! Hehehe

welcome to the world of SKKS dear Jana. that "homeless" guy is my darling kid JaeShin and you will be seeing him a lot from now on. you may even start obsessing about him too. oh, and that "Hentai" YongHa is loved by everyone. so be prepared to fight if you like to keep him for yourself. but i do suggest sharing (you read this ara-chan?) because no one wants to let go of him. so basically you can be team SJ (the main) with YongHa combi or team JS (Jaeshin) with YongHa combi. SJK is just too adorable.

ps. E-chan, did you manage to find the sound track (not the OST that was out) to SKKS. i still want that piano piece SO BADLY. :salut:

Ahaha, Issytan, ofc I'm willing to share...When was the day I could play with your hubby OJH again? :mrgreen:

And Jana, welcome, welcome. I'm sure you'll love this series, too. Take your time with all those names. Must be confusing cause they also got their nicknames and sometimes we use the actors' names... I did fall for the one you called the 'hentai guy'...Yongha, Yeorim, Song Joong Ki...I'd love to keep him as my pet. Already tidied out my closet to make space for him...but you can come visit anytime :P

But then, they're all adorable, including the professor, blinky (?) and even some of the minor cast. Go all out and forget about the replacment for this gem :P

Ecchan, thanks for another candy :*
