Behind the scenes on Sungkyunkwan Scandal
by javabeans
It’s totally entertaining to see the onscreen camaraderie building between the four leads of KBS’s Sungkyunkwan Scandal, so it’s like icing on the cake to see that good-natured fun exists behind the scenes as well. In fact, before the drama began airing the four actors — Micky Yoochun, Park Min-young, Song Joong-ki, and Yoo Ah-in — stated that they all got along fabulously offscreen. Looks like it.
The drama recently released the following photos of its main quartet of kkot seonbis (pretty-boy Confucian scholars), also known as the Jalgeum quartet or Jalgeum F4. These photos were taken on the filming location in Yeongam-gun in south Jeolla province, in between filming, monitoring each other’s performances, and script rehearsing. Those of you who’ve seen through the latest episodes will no doubt recognize the scenes that were being shot when these were snapped.

Evil Boy is hot! I don't know why, but Joseon F4 don't interest me as much Ha In Soo. Must be his eyes. Piercing hot hot hot eyes, mmmmm....
I would so totally dig a character reversal in which he stands a chance with Yoon Hee. Who's with? Yes no maybe?

If I didn't think Yoonhee and Sunjoon made a perfect couple, I'd be all aboard that ship. I do harbor a secret hope that Insoo ends up falling for Yoonhee anyway, though. :P
Although I do love his crazy-evil glare, so I'll be content if he stays evil too. <3

But what would we call it? The Mwuhaha Faction? The Evil Faction? The Sexy Eyes Faction?
So many boys, so little time. If only we had this complaint with every show!

Because, Chosun is his sister..? o-o

@Hiinie
No she isn't his sister, he currently actually wants her.

@Hinnie- Chosun is the girl who's in love with Yoon Hee, the top gisaeng. In Soo is interested in her but she doesn't care about him. In Soo's sister is Hyo Eun, who is infauted with Sun Joon.

since the beginning, I somehow think In-Soo is the one who is pushing YH's limits. He is also the one who has the best acting skill in SKKS. His eyes tell the whole story. :-)
Well...anyway, Ha Ji Won's little brother is doing good as a delicious villain.

I must respectfully disagree with above. While In Soo pushes YH's limits, I think he often uses YH as a way to get to Sunjoon. Also, the actor has a lot of room to improve. He could try to use something beyond glare and more glare to convey anger/frustration/jealousy/I want to kill you then hang your corpse out to dry. Right now, it seems he way to differentiate between those emotions are to glare for 1 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, or 1 minute.

IA, I also don't think he is a very good actor.

September 27, 2010 at 6:46 PM
agree with you too, love all the guys in SKKS except Insoo, both as a character and as an actor, all he did is GLARE, even his glare can't be called 'acting', his minions, the dumb and dumber can act way better than him!

Also, the character is going to die of liver poisoning before he can do any real damage. Isn't that soju he's downing in copious amounts in, like, 99.9% of the scenes he's in?
phoenixash
September 28, 2010 at 12:37 AM
But is this overabundance of glaring something to blame him for? I always assumed it was what he was told to do by the director/screenwriter/etc. I don't necessarily think Jun Tae Soo is about to receive the actor of the year award, but I think he's doing a respectable job, especially for a relative beginner.
blahblahblah
September 27, 2010 at 6:35 PM
yes! ha ji won's brother is hot! i kinda want him to end up having feelings for her, but that would just be too much going on for a show with only 16 or 20 episodes.

That was my exact same thought at the 5th pic!
It's really great to see all of them enjoying themselves while filming. Guess that's wat brings the energy to the show itself. Esp loved the pic of Yoo Ah In playing around with Park Min Young. :)

if ever a photo/screencap existed of the 5 (yes I'm including our grumpy villain) of them and their heart-melting smiles, I will be satisfied with life..lol..
if such a photo/screencap existed of our 4lead guys in all their topless manly glory (sorry PMY - I don't swing your way, yet..lmao) I'd die of eternal happiness and greatfully offer up my lifes' re-incarnation tickets...

This is the first time I love all the casts of the show,including the bad guys too :P
Well because all of them are cute,although I'm a huge cassie myself..I just love Yoon Shik protraying so well !I just how Sun Jun is treating her/or him like his very best friend so sometimes I was star struck that I knew the fact that she is a girl but Sun Jun doesnt >.< That is why he treating him so well :D
And of course,those funny cast members like the old kiss-asser(i wonder what is his name)and the little kids...Also,not to forget the maid for the maiden that love Sun Joon.I love every bit of the show and if you realised,Sun Joon,Yun Shik and that cute Gangster is of the same year 1986 !!! I just found out and was pretty surprised but of course,their sunbae is mickey and noona is yoon shik :)
I love how they are having fun,honestly,I dont know how the ending will turn up so I kept watch with this show...Normally When i was kdramas,I predicted the ending of the show(which pretty much end at the same most of the time).Because only one of the teacher knew she is a girl,and well the truth of her background haven't been revealed so im pretty excited...AND AND haha,who will they end up with ?
Plus,I added this drama along with Josen Xfiles into my favourite kdrama of 2010 :)

Don't you wonder how they became friends in the first place? GYH is hung up on appearances (and being a certified jerk) and we can assume he's always been that way. So, at some point little Moony must have been more in step with his place as a precious son. Otherwise I can't see them having much of anything in common, so Moony's shift to rebellious crouching tiger bad ass must've been recent and GYH is rolling with it because they've been friends for ten years. What I'm saying is I want some flashbacks for these two. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Or they were both originally rebels. It looks like GYH has just as many issues as our dearest Crazy Horse, but deals with them in a different way, from some of the serious interludes he's had.

awww feels like i'm one of their friends. ahh really reminds me of YAB. really, really cute
i think to be close with these guys, Park Min-young must have the 'one of the boys' personality
i thought at first that she is this girly girly attitude and can't get along well with the men
how cute is that? being very pretty and still able to mingle with guys in a friendly perspective
made a fan out of me
