Sungkyunkwan scandal.

As  you know I am a lover of the world of cinema and animation in Asia,  March is the month where the Korean film festival is held in Florence,  an event that I await for glory and since I'm in mutual society I took  the opportunity to review a Korean drama that I loved a lot.

The  dramas are episodic TV series, I love especially the Korean ones, but  there are Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese etc ... They are very popular in  Asia and overseas even if niche have fans, like me!

Some have modern settings, others like the one I'm talking about today are set in ancient times.

Sungkyunkwan  Scandal is a drama of 2010, set in an ancient Korea tells the story of  the young Kim Yoon-hee, a girl who to run the disadvantaged family and  with a sick brother in disguise as a man to work as a scribe, her great talent, using the name of the brother.

The debts strangle her  family and the girl is forced to accept even less honest jobs, such as  acting as a substitute for an imperial examination to enter the  prestigious Sungkyunkwan, a wing of the imperial court used to train new  officers, a very forbidden test for women obviously to whom access to education for certain types of positions was not allowed.

During the exam, however, a very clever pupil notes her illegal trick, he is Lee Sun-joon, the lucky son of a minister.

The  two begin a sort of skirmish that will result in a friendship where the  boy does not suspect that under the clothes there is a woman pushes Kim  yoon he to enroll in the exam and she does not hesitate, always using  the identity of the brother.

Obviously pass  the exam with flying colors and from there there are a series of fun  and engaging vicissitudes in his new life in dorm with other aspiring  officers, where the girl will make a great effort to keep her identity secret. How to avoid a scandal?

The  drama is well taken care of, the compelling storyline and the  magnificent settings, especially the internal ones during lunches and  dinners are a pleasure for the eyes and a rumbling in the stomach in  front of all those delicacies.

If you have never seen the kind I suggest you take a look, obviously all subtitled in English!
