10 Asia reporters pick SKKS as 2010′s best drama


[Paraphrase]
Fourteen reporters from 10Asia gathered together to vote for what they believed were the best drama, director, writer, and actor in the drama world in 2010. <Sungkyunkwan Scandal> was selected as the year’s best drama with 6 votes, just edging out <Chuno>with 5. As the article mentions, the reporters who submitted their votes are simply writers who diligently and lovingly watched Korea’s dramas over the past year, so their votes are more reflective of personal taste than professional critical opinion. Though they did not win, two reporters also selected Kim Kap Soo [the actor who played Lee Sunjoon's father] as the best actor, and one reporter selected the Jalgeum Four of Park Yoochun, Park Minyoung, Yoo Ah In, and Song Joong Ki as the best actors of the dramas of 2010. =)


This year’s drama: KBS <Sungkyunkwan Scandal>

[Translation]
Though KBS’s <Sungkyunkwan Scandal> was “not this year’s most well-made drama, it was the most meaningful” (Yoon Hee Sung). “It didn’t go down the path of naive hypocrisy or malpheumisms packaged in coolness, and in this generation in which it is hard to speak of dreams, it was a drama that showed rare balance and frankness and tossed out the most basic questions necessary for dreams” (Baek Eun Ha). “Besides the outside shell of the romance and coming-of-age stories, it managed to confront and question again and again issues of principles, problems of the time, reform, and intelligence. It was ‘this year’s discovery’ that nobody saw coming” (Cho Ji Young). Indeed, not only the Sungkyunkwan scholars but also viewers and critics fell completely in love with Kim Yoonshik—no, Kim Yoonhee. Of course, one cannot ignore the drama’s weaknesses, including that “the second half deteriorated and the story wasn’t unified from time to time” [...] “But the energy from that [lack of unification] allowed the drama to be a youth, sageuk, and political drama [all at once]” (Kang Myung Seok), turning this opinion into a positive one. More than anything else, this drama asked serious questions about the way we should live our lives, and did so with the voices of young people speaking toward a young generation, and made an effort to awaken our exhausted and emasculated age to the world. Thus our most honest feelings about <Sungkyunkwan Scandal> can be summed up in the words of Yoon Hee Sung: “It wasn’t a drama that made its viewers laugh or cry, but there was no other drama that warmed our hearts like this.”

What projects will the four stars of ‘SKKS’ take on next?




■ Internet message board users have been showing a high interest in what projects the SKKS actors will take on next, asking questions like “What do you think of having the Jalgeum Four in a medical drama next?” “I hope they’re in a modern drama next!” and “As a fan, I want to see the ‘SKKS’ actors in a new project soon.”

■ Park Minyoung is the first to have decided upon her next project. She will be in a movie for the first time since her debut, playing a young woman in her 20s who works at a pet salon shop in a horror movie called (director: Byeon Seung Ok). She ends up living with what she believes is a cat, but inexplicable and scary things start happening. She learns that the beautiful cat’s owners have all died under unexplained circumstances and becomes wrapped up in the horror surrounding the cat. Park Minyoung’s co-star will be Kim Dong Wook from the drama ‘Coffee Prince No. 1′ and filming is expected to begin soon.

■ YOO AH IN has emerged as the front-runner for the main character of the movie ‘Wandeukee’ and is in last-stage negotiations for his casting. The movie is based on the bestselling novel ‘Wandeukee’ about a poor boy who is a bad student and rebellious, and fiercely refuses to lose to anyone in a fight. The movie shows 17-year-old Wandeuk growing up and finding dreams and hope as he meets his eccentric homeroom teacher ‘Dongjoo’ who starts off as Wandeuk’s sworn enemy before gradually becoming a loving presence in his life, and also learns to kickbox. Yoo Ah In has emerged as the front-runner for the role of Wandeuk, and Kim Yoon Seok has been cast as Dongjoo, the teacher who acts like all he lives for is the fun of bothering Wandeuk, but who actually cares deeply for him.

■ Park Yoochun will likely continue to concentrate on activities as a singer as a member of JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu). JYJ had their first full concert in Seoul’s Jamsil Stadium titled ‘JYJ Worldwide Concert.’ They are planning to devote themselves to a world tour afterward.

■ Song Joong Ki, who is being deluged with drama and movie love calls, is slowly choosing his next project. For now, he is very busy appearing at end-of-year awards ceremonies and filming delayed advertisement CFs. One entertainment industry representative said, “Song Joong Ki’s popularity continues to soar, so he doesn’t have to choose his next project too quickly. His company will also take its time in choosing a good project with a good guarantee [of money for SJK] and proceed in a deliberate fashion.”

Stars of ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ Look Back as Show Ends

Posted Image

Micky, a member of the idol boy band TVXQ who played Lee Seon-jun,  made a successful acting debut with the role. He said, “When I joined  the drama in the beginning, many people told me that I would feel the  time had flown so fast at the end, but it doesn’t seem to be the case  for me. From the beginning to the end, I’ve felt tense and nervous  because this is my acting debut and I was at a critical point in my  career. I am very grateful for all the support I have received and I  will keep trying my best not to let fans down as both an actor and  singer.”

Park Min-young played Kim Yun-hee, a girl disguised as a boy to study  at Sungkyunkwan. She said that she gave all she had to the drama, so  she doesn’t have any regrets. She said, “It’s the work that I can  proudly show to my daughter in the future if I get to have one. I may  feel lost and hollow later after all this devotion and success, but I  would feel thankful even for that. Most of all, I am deeply indebted for  all the support and attention I enjoyed.”

Yu A-in has emerged as another heartthrob with his role of the  rebellious boy Moon Jae-shin. But he confessed that he wasn’t confident  he could do well at first and only pretended he was. He said, “I studied  the scripts thoroughly while brainwashing myself that I could do it.  And it seems to have paid off. I am very happy to hear that I  successfully portrayed the character. It will be one of the most  memorable works in my career.”

Song Joong-ki, who played Gu Yong-ha, a cheerful and lovely boy who  cherishes his friendship with Moon Jae-shin, enjoyed great popularity  with his childlike image. He said, “It’s like a dream to receive this  huge support and attention. It certainly makes me feel delighted. Gu  Yong-ha is a handsome and stylish character, but due to tight shooting  schedule I looked very tired with dark circles under my eyes. I feel  regretful about that. I had such a good time shooting the film. I feel  grateful to work with Micky, [Yu] A-in and [Park] Min-young.”

Posted Image
 Another rising star the show has produced is Jun Tae-soo, who played  the evil school representative Ha In-su. Jun said that he can’t believe  the drama has ended, saying, “I feel like I should still go to work  tomorrow. I never imagined that I could have this appeal and draw this  much attention, so I can’t believe what is happening to me now and feel  tremendously thankful. I have a little regret that I could do even  better, but I hope that fans see that I’ve tried hard to do my best. I  also hope to meet the fans soon with another work.”

Netizens who came across these pictures responded positively with, “The  funniest guy, Goo Yong Ha!”, “I was sad when the drama ended, but I  laughed a whole lot after seeing this”, “I’m touched by his fan  service.”

Song Joong Ki also revealed his thoughts through his me2day. He wrote,  “The 20th episode has ended. You guys are sad too, right? I’m really  sad too. I learnt so much from this, and it was a very fun and happy  five months. It has been a very meaningful time, being able to meet Yong  Ha, so it’s sad that we have to part.”

However, he added, “But even if the drama has ended, I think  parts of Yong Ha will still be with me. I send my deepest thanks to all  the viewers who have sent so much love.”

will miss SKKS

Goodbye to the brilliant Jalgeum quartet:
Posted Image

Jaeshin, I will miss the most. Jaeshin and Yoo Ah In that completely stole my heart. I will miss his smile, temper and hiccups.

Sunjoon, I will miss this nerdy guy with principles and a smile to die for.

Yongha, I will miss him and his antics, facial expressions and of course because he is Goo Yongha!

Yoonhee, she started out great and I loved her stubbornness and how kickass she was, although she got a bit less great as the drama progressed, I still love her and will miss her too.

About the ending, I think I would have preferred if they didn't do a timejump, but I'm happy with what we got, the last scene should have lasted a bit longer though. :lol: .

I agree that we should have gotten to see Sunjoon's reaction to her dressed as a girl the first time after he knew her identity, but at least we got a kiss, right? And I must say Yoochun doesn't look too bad with facial hair.

Posted Image

I would so watch a spin-off with him and his potential OTP, they were cute!

Posted Image

You know what, just give Yoo Ah In a lead role in a drama and I will be satisfied.

The best bromance ever!
Posted Image

This was the scene I never knew I wanted, I actually don't hate Insoo anymore after this. And Chosun, I just loved how she still loved and cared for Yoonhee after she found out that he was actually a she.

YH: I believe Professor Lee Sun Joon was in charge of cleaning today. If instead of the cleaning that you’re told to do, all you do is be jealous, how will you get a “Pass” as a husband?
SJ: It can’t be helped if you tell me I’m wrong, but I can’t accept you saying you don’t like me.
[SJ kisses YH]Sj: Then, is this a “Pass”?
(YH laughs)
SJ: I don’t intend to stop until I receive a “Pass.”

YH: What’s with you today?
SJ: Hold on a moment. (Grabs the red book)
Sj: I’m still yet inexperienced.
YH: For how long are you going to use that book….?
SJ: Oh, here it is.
Sj: Oh, it wasn’t this?

Season 2 of “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” still a possibility




Posted Image

KBS 2TV’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”  came to an end on November 2nd. Although the drama only managed to  garner 10% in viewer ratings, it quickly drew die-hard fans with various  syndromes such as the ‘Seon Joon syndrome’ and ‘Geol Oh obsession’, helping the drama attract more popularity along the way.
Despite the producers previously claiming that a season 2 would not  be in the works due to plot conflicts, a representative of production  company Lemon Rain revealed that the drama might indeed be continuing on to season 2 in a recent interview with Osen.

- The viewer ratings for the drama were rather low, but you  still managed to succeed in bringing attention to the drama. How does it  feel now that everything has come to an end?

I’m actually highly disappointed with the viewer ratings. Only  the TV broadcast is factored in despite there being a variety of other  routes of viewing the drama such as through re-broadcasts and DMB  viewing. It’s disappointing that such routes aren’t factored in, but  we’re trying not to put too much importance on these numbers.”


Posted Image


- All of the cast members received praise for their acting. How would you judge them from the perspective of their producer?

We’re all extremely satisfied. At the beginning, there were a  lot of problems with synchronizing everything together, but with each  passing episode, everyone started getting the hang of it. When news of  the lineup first got out, a lot of the people around us began asking  whether we’d even be able to produce a drama with such a cast, but our  persistence won in the end. We’re just glad that everyone did so well.  As for our perspective, we feel that we were able to turn over the  assumptions that these particular actors wouldn’t have worked for this  drama.

- You have been receiving consistent requests for a season 2. Is one in the works?
It’s not that we’re not planning it. If we do, we’d like to  create another teenage story. There weren’t ever any historical dramas  based on teenagers in the Chosun dynasty. It’s not like there were only  those four youths from ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ living at that time. It’d  be nice to draw a new story with a different set of teens. Nothing’s  been confirmed yet, but we have been listening to suggestions coming in.  Still, it’s easier said than done. We’ll be preparing for another one  by the end of next year or later. Regardless, we have positive opinions  on the production of a season 2.”

Posted Image


- What do you think ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ means? What is it worth?

That is probably the most difficult question to answer. A drama  is just a drama, but there are a variety of opinions. Some said that we  tried too hard to lecture the viewers…But from the producer’s  standpoint, we didn’t want the drama to be something that the viewers  would forget after one viewing. We put a lot of emphasis on societal  problems of the time, and tried to make it connect with our youth of  today. We hope that it’s a meaningful drama with a lot of messages to  send out.”

Netizens commented, “Who hopes that they keep the current cast?“, “Please don’t change the current cast!“, and “Let’s keep the four for the next season as well.”
