Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010)

Sungkyunkwan Scandal, a drama based on the same novel, tells the tale of Kim Yoon Hee (Park Min Young). Yoon Hee had to pose as her younger brother Kim Yoon Sik to work a lot of jobs to earn money to support her mother and younger brother because her father had died young and her younger brother was always ill. Yoon Hee agreed to take the test in her place, nevertheless, because she owed a lot of money and might have to sell her body as a concubine to cover the loan. Fortunately, she entered Sungkyunkwan. Yoon Hee then made history by becoming the first and only female doctor in the otherwise male-dominated city of Sungkyunkwan.

With a talented cast, the Sungkyunkwan Scandal was a huge success when, after only 10 episodes, the viewership rate surpassed 10%, indicating that the audience is eagerly anticipating the next installment.
