Episode 10 is a keeper too. Particularly the prison break sequence. Very entertaining.

My favorite scene in the SS original was on the mountain by the river where, after ML has his initial shock of realising FL is actually female, the panic the FL exhibits due to arriving group of scholars makes him shake off the shock of what it means to him, and realise what being discovered as female means to her.

Apart from the single exclamation that she's female, not a word more spoken by them, it's all in their (particularly his) acting.

You're right, sulkytofu, in the original hiding her identity and the fear of being discovered felt like it had consequence. Meanwhile in this adaptation she had girly moments while asking if he'd marry her sister.

To all those desiring more kissy face, I provide you a youtube link of a kiss scene from the original series...

...why the uploader added the Final Fantasy X 'to Zanarkand' soundtrack to it, I have no idea...

omg you're right. I didn't even have to do anything, I just examined the options and all of a sudden I got the unlock message!

Yippee, don't have to wait the extra full week!!

Any other 'tasks'? Coz I'm not a social media kind of person...

Edit: Nevermind .... looks like I'll just have to wait the extra week. ; )

Now that I've posted the link, I feel a degree of responsibility towards any who might follow the link to read the novel.

If you're a sensitive soul...
...stay the hell away from this novel

If you have past life experiences which might cause you to be 'triggered' on reading abuse material...
...stay the hell away from this novel

If you're someone who gets their jollies from torture and rape porn, plus happens to also like some supernatural wuxia type fantasies...
....this might be right up your alley, so to speak.

While the details section says today 15/8, it also says the total episodes is 36. As of today the episodes released is 28 for VIP iqiy members. Given the release schedule of thursday, friday and saturdays episode 36 should be available on saturday 23rd for VIP iqiy members, and saturday 30th for non-VIP members.

Thanks very much for the clarification. \o/

I don't speak chinese and I'm having a difficulty in the translation, I'm hoping one of the contributors to this board can help.

The translation keeps referring to "Mr Wang". However the sound (sounds to me like 'Wan Shu'), which I've heard in other c-dramas, is usually translated in those other dramas as something like 'emperor' or 'king'. In SS this character position was the nation's emporer/king.

Is 'Mr Wang' accurately 'Mr Wang', or a mistranslation that should instead be 'emperor'?

"...match me up with your sister..." AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAaaaaaaaaaa

Truth™

The upside to being completely oblivious to the celebrity goings-on in asian countries (since I don't live there and I don't speak any of the languages) is I get to watch asian dramas with absolutely zero understanding of who the actors 'are' in real life.

Really helps with immersion into the story!

:D

...!?

Having a bad day, Kezia?

Here, I'm sending you a virtual hug...

I disagree Kezia. While 'In a Class of Her Own' hasn't finished yet, IMHO I've found Sungkyunkwan Scandal to be the better story plotted and scripted drama. I think for two reasons. First - the lack of cat noises. The cat noises in this current series is too gimmicky for my tastes and I find it destroys my immersion in the story while watching. Second - no Chinese censorship means that they were able to be more loose with the phrasing and issues used in their script.

That said I do agree the visuals/set design in this current series are better eye candy.

Dance of the Phoenix just started this past weekend on WeTV. The few episodes so far are good. Also, have you watched 'The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty' from earlier this year?

Edit: I have to say, while I'm enjoying 'In a Class of Her Own', I've found the original 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' superior in it's general storytelling/layout (and lack of cat noises). I've been re-watching a few of my favorite episodes of that original series in between the weekly releases of this current series.

Stating an opinion once, maybe twice is one thing. Being spiteful towards a person/group repeatedly, keeping on coming back and doing it over and over again is something psychological.

You ask me why I attack her. Why aren't you asking why she (? assuming female) attacks this production. Repeatedly. Again and again. If she's simply stating an opinion it's one thing. Fine, she hates this production, states as such, then moves on.

Whatever.

But no, not in this case. Here she keeps coming back to hammer more nails in this coffin she's crafting.

At first I assumed she was an individual bearing a grudge against Xu Kai because maybe he didn't sign an autograph or something, but in subsequent comments she's been repeatedly negative (not a whisper of anything positive) over and over again, not just against the one actor but against the production as a whole.

There's something psychologically off with her. I made the comment above to call her out on it.

You want to defend her 'opinion'. Fine, well this is my opinion of her. Why don't you defend my right to an opinion too?

Oh never mind. I took the time to look up 'upani', and apparantly it's a name of phillipino origin which means 'heart of steel', so your handle moodupani liternally means 'mood of heart of steel.

Got it.

Hey Moodupani, have you ever heard the term 'antisocial'?

Because I'm actually enjoying this drama and don't want to be disappointed, I'm gonna take this explanation and run with it.

Thanks
;D
