The boys (and girl) of Sungkyunkwan Scandal
by javabeans
Here we get a look at the first stills of the four leads of the upcoming “campus historical drama” Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which is set in a Joseon-era school that is attended by the scholars and noble young sons of the day — and one young woman who sneaks in posing as her brother and subsequently finds herself in romantic entanglements with her fellow students.
This is the drama debut for DBSK idol singer Micky Yoochun (above), whose casting at best is a big ol’ question mark. I’ve seen a handful of idols make impressive acting debuts so there’s always hope, but the numbers aren’t in the idols’ favor. We’ll see if he’s up to the task, which is no small feat: not only is it a debut role, he’s playing the primary lead, plus it’s a sageuk.
In conjunction with the opening of the drama’s official website on the 12th, there will be special events held on the site that includes the giving out of VIP invitations to the production pres conference, T-shirts, and other paraphernalia.
Sungkyunkwan Scandal attracted interest right from the get-go, having been adapted from a popular novel. Anticipation grew with the casting of each of its hot young leads and the promise of a “Joseon-era F4.” The drama will air in September on KBS.
As for the character stills:
One of these is not like the others! Surprisingly, I think Park Min-young (I Am Sam) looks kind of like a passable boy, considering how feminine she looks in real life:
The first thing I thought upon seeing Yoo Ah-in (Antique Bakery) as a scruffy rebel character was “Orroz!” Those of you who followed the Strongest Chil Woo recaps know what I mean, am I right?
Last but not least, Song Joong-ki (OB-GYN) almost gives Park Min-young a run for her money as prettiest of the group, doesn’t he?

@33 Dancingstarlet...
If it's as you 'describe', that would be sweet.
I've been openly obsessing about a Korean or Japanese Butterfly Lovers adaptation except with a happy ending ..
If this is it.. I would go to heaven..

ROFL Micky looking all proper. I don't even know what to say. I do like him. But I'd much rather Jaejoong have gotten a lead role in something. D:
(Lol, sorry, I just made this a DBSK thing. I can't help it - unlike some of you who might just be really getting into DBSK because of the drama, I know and adore DBSK, so I can't help but compare to who might or might not have done similar/other drama roles.)

In my opinion yoochun definitely has the most potential in becoming a serious actor compared with the other members of dbsk (and maybe jaejoong..). I was pleasantly surprised by his acting skills in the dbsk banjun dramas (as I wasn't expecting much and he surpassed my expectations ;). So, I'd give this drama a chance, I don't think its going to be quite as bad as heading to the ground at least!! ^^ hopefully. And song joong ki looks so pretty it kind of scares me :O.
( @56 i really want to see jaejoong in that new jdrama with the nodame girl! :)
